Actually.. I cary my trusty powerbook to make all my notes on various types of undead *recieves large wad of cash from apple*
: Thrall aren't all that tough; even some bare-skinned
: humans like Berserks can take more damage.
One would think that if armor made that much of a difference (admit it, the difference between thrall and ghasts is considerable) then warriors would be über-tuff.
: Personally,
: I think the only reason Thrall are tougher than Ghasts
: and Wights is that they're wearing armor. Ghasts don't
: wear armor because it slows them down, because they're
: meant to pop right out the ground and start
: terrorizing the peasants without delay, and because
: generally they don't need to, when their enemies are
: few or unarmed; one hit paralyzes their foe and after
: that the ghast isn't going to take any damage.
No, Ghasts and Thrall are completely different, Thrall are held together with magic which takes quite a beating before the spell fails (I'm not pulling this out of thin air, it's in the manual), while Ghasts are pre-white forms and relatively fresh corpses which are probably fresh enough to hold together, since they're not already sown up like a wight I concluded that they were sown up once they started to bloat up.

: Don't forget to add Soulless, Shades and Dirigibles to
: your field guide.
P.S. Soulless are just souls ripped from victims, as you never find "sleeping" people who's souls have been turned to souless, I asume that captives have thier souls ripped out and die in the process, and they could not be pre-killed since the souls are "stolen" not just picked out of soul land or wherever the souls go (mb to the other side of the disk?), Shades a spirits brought back (prehaps through tramists mirror) and put into corpses, Dirigibles are big fat ugly guys who smell.
