Well at least he knows now!

He wishes he didn't!

Oh well, can't unlearn now! =P

I guess he didn't read the fine print.

Nope.

Sorry but you're undead now.

:(!

you really should read before casting a spell...

... cause the wanings come after

Yeah, just a bit.

it's not so bad when you get used to it

And what makes you say that?

personal experience :o

He's cured, isn't he? Just need a bit of prosthetic work and some concealing clothing, no-one will notice.

*snerk* You remind me of a guy who wanted to submit for RP a Resident Evil Licker in a business suit, such that nobody would notice something was 'off'.

Needless to say, it didn't work there, and I doubt it'd work here.

Sure it can work, if done well.

Consider the TV series The Strain, for example. Their vampire-inspired monsters are pretty monstrous - deformed in body and face, mostly of impaired intelligence. Head Minion appears human though - and the view might even conclude they are human, if not for their extended lifespan. What makes this one special doesn't get fully answered until some way into the series, when you get to see his morning makeup ritual - the tight-necked suit, the prosthetic nose. The reveal that, while the boss has given this minion back their mind, he cannot restore their human body.

With makeup on, he proves very useful as a go-between, organising the human side of their plan. Just has to stay out of the sun.

Huh. OK.

It was also played for laughs in an episode of The Librarians when a character was able to stop Frankenstein's Monster from rampaging by pointing out that in the near-century since the original story, cosmetic surgery was come a long way. Monster was last seen considering a career in American football.


Your lich would need feather implants, gloves, some concealing wing-drapes and robe. The only difficult part is the face - but as bird faces aren't very flexible, that's really just an elaborate mask. It'd look a little off close up, but he'd be able to walk though the streets without notice.

That might work, but you'd still have the smell, and the unpleasant feeling given off by undead!

Good joke on Librarians, though, especially consider the Monster is best portrayed as a tragic figure. The real monster in the book is his creator.

They pointed that out too - the first character to encounter the monster treated it like a dumb brute and tried to scare it off with fire. The monster was insulted, and that character quickly embarrassed by his evident lack of reading.

Good, good.

Well, you have been cured. After all, the dead cannot get sick.

Clearly!
