It's probably self-evident that being a zombie sucks. At least, it sucks if you care about your appearance. So as you can imagine, those who suffered from the sin of pride are in for a world of hurt.
Tried to say "hi," but all of my earthly charm had gone. She floated by, so distracted with the sound of her own cell phone. I said "Go ahead and walk away. I have all I need." Now I speak with all the eloquence of livestock. And I've become a zombie me! -- Zombie Me (No More Kings)
Pride (Latin: superbia) involves love of self; of being concerned about more attractive or important to others. For these poor suckers, being a zombie is the most awful damnation imaginable. They are...UGLY.
Because damnation has a twisted sense of humor, pride zombies aren't just ugly, they're fugly with a capital F. Dripping, oozing, falling apart -- pride zombies are pools of filth. If these zombies followed the normal rules of physics, they wouldn't last very long because they would disintegrate very quickly with the amount of rotting going on...
But they don't, because that would let them off the hook. They ooze something constantly but it never stops. They are their own renewable organic resource. If someone ever was desperate enough to eat them, they could feed all of humanity forever.
Except of course that touching a pride zombie risks contamination, so eating them would pretty much just make more pride zombies.
Abilities: A pride zombie’s Charisma becomes 1 and it has no Constitution score. Slimy Doom (Su): Disease—slam, Fortitude DC 14, incubation period 1 round, damage 1d4 Con drain. The save DC is Charisma-based. An afflicted humanoid who dies of slimy doom rises as a pride zombie in 1d4 rounds. It is not under the control of any other zombies, but it hungers for the souls of the living and behaves like a pride zombie in all respects. Vomit (Ex): 5-ft. cone, once every 1d4 rounds; damage 4d4 acid and Slimy Doom (above), Reflex DC 14 half and avoids disease. The save DC is Constitution-based. Skills : A pride zombie has the same skills as it did in life. Feats: A pride zombie retains all feats of the base creature. |
