Just a heads up the only page on the pdf uploaded at the moment is a page with a skull picture. No other pages present in the document.

Same issue for me; the odt looks ok, though the skull illustration at the end is in the wrong spot (at least in my LibreOffice setup).

Should be fixed now. Not at all certain how that happened.

Yep, looks good, thanks!

The risks of necromancy...

For the Undeath spell list of results, Wight is 61 - 75 then Wraith is listed as 81-90 then Ghost 85-90. These should probably be realigned a bit. Was it supposed to be Wraith 76-84 then Ghost 85-90?

Drainblade is really bad. It only gives 1 additional damage and heals 1 HP. Was it supposed to be 1 per caster level? Is that why it's a Level 3 spell?

Um... it's not "really bad." One extra point of damage per hit can be substantial, especially as it also heals the wielder. One per level, per hit, could add up rather quickly.

HOWEVER. The duration of the spell is really short, so the amount it could add up is actually not that high. I might indeed go ahead and scale the damage per level.

But what I see here is that nobody feels strongly enough about this supplement to take on the task of revising it. It should at some point be brought up to par with the other CC supplements.
