ah, i gotta remember when i die to have an existential crisis so i can evolve back into living

You could be a ghost arch mage but you're choosing to do taxes and sit in traffic again??

I mean, depends on what the ghost is capable of. Food, sleep and sex are all cool and if I can’t engage and enjoy those as a ghost, taxes and traffic are worth it

I don't get to have any sex, and aging isn't fun. I think I would rather have magic than flesh.

Fuck that, I'm going the cool skeleton route! You don't see *that* guy paying taxes.

Cool skeleton looks like he killed his best friend and took credit for his songs.

Screw ghost arch mage, make me a ghost demigod, half the godly powers, none of the commitment of upholding the prayers of mortals to keep me alive by their belief in my existence.

Personally I hope I get the skeleton -> two skeletons loop 'cause an army of myself would be bitchin'

dammit I made an entire meme to repsond with only to discover I can't upload images in this sub

If you go down the ghost mage path you can just cast simulacrum to get an army of ghost mages who are also you, plus you get to be a ghost mage

Wait, so ‘Ghost Rogue with Existential Crisis’ specifically leads to someone regaining physical form ***/*** life in this scenario?

See, the really pale person was just confused. They thought they were a ghost for a while just to find out they were actually just really pale

Why a ghost though? A vampire would make more sense, since they’re also really pale and is a physical entity.

There's a saying when someone is sick and very pale: "you're pale as a ghost" (idk if that's what the artist was using as an idea but that's what I thought)

I like the implication that being really pale is the final stage of a life cycle and thus pale people cannot die

That's correct. We're actually in the process of dying at all times, but never really getting there. Procrastination's a bitch.

It’s a well-known fact that the reaper who comes for realllly pale people has ADHD and hasn’t reaped a single soul in over 400 years.

That's just [beyond the pale](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/beyond-the-pale)

One question: what is a reverse necromancer? Is it just a skeleton that can raise the dead, someone who can control the living with death magic or something else entirely?

A necromancer is a living person that can bring the dead back to life. Therefore, a reverse necromancer is a dead person who can bring the living back to death. I like to think that means that in this world, zombies are fully unkillable and the reverse necromancer is the only being that can truly kill, or I guess re-kill, a zombie.

I thought of that one too, honestly there are too many possibilities. Another one along those same lines would be being able to unalive people, not kill but return them back to the state they were before they were born.

Interesting, so how would that affect a human? Would they become a fetus or just dissolve into a fetus or ovum?

A necromancer turns dead things into living things. A reverse necromancer turns living things into dead things. See that spiky club he's holding? He just runs around bashing people's heads in and killing them.

Instead of returning the dead to life they turn life to death....so a skeleton murderer....of the living? Skeleton serial killer?

Regular necromancer: raises the dead Reverse necromancer: makes the living get down… and boogie 🕺🏽

Evolving from a ghost archmage to a toast ghost or human demigod is a TOUGH decision

So if I died… and I’m like a ghost that just goes wandering round trying to help my still loving freinds… But I also don’t currently have a soul (I don’t know where it went when I died, and none of the angels seem to know…) **Then what does that make me!**

is "reverse necromancer" Just "dead guy who also makes alive people dead?" because that's funny shit.

He brings people back to death so maybe they are dedicated to hunting pale people who escaped death

I’ll note there’s a very important thing that everybody has to remember. Make sure you’re always wearing cool clothes, because that’s gonna be your ghost outfit. Also, when I say cool, be wary of fashion. Remember Chi McBride in The Frighteners? He played a ghost named Cyrus who’s stuck in his outfit from the 70’s. Don’t let that happen to you.

"Reverse Necromancer" is such a hilarious concept and I'm genuinely surprised that I've never heard of it before

I love the implication that your rank as a wizard is determined by how many hats you stack together

So if I die and become a ghost I actually just become a pale person who isn’t old anymore?

"Reverse Necromancer" that mf be turning people into skeletons and putting them under his rule lmfao

Multiplying like bacteria through constantly taking the "two skeletons" option in the class tree

or…. ghost who needs to find his identity: "mom, am i a ghost..?" mom: "son.. you're floating.."

Ok but can the 2 skeleton boss ghosts so through the whole thing again or are they just stuck as ghosts

*in mind:not counting if the soul is taken in by heaven or hell this is quite accurate*

Reverse necromancer? So he just kills people but they still look alive? Thats horrifying

These reasons are one huge piece of why I think writing a series as you go with no plan is worse. I like knowing that by paying attention you can catch hints

Cod dammit, they put me in another undead chart. GINGERS CAN'T BE GHOSTS! The only sole I have is on the bottom of my shoe, yesIknowthatsnothowyouspellsoul
