Am I getting baited or can't you guys recognize sarcasm?

>>2787837
I'd say greek orthodox, since I saw a century-old dead priest with that attire in a glass coffin.

Which one do you prefer to identify as? Skelly or zombie?

>>2788008
zombie because they absorb blows better

>>2788008
>radious
>Skeletons (armoured) (shielded) (archers) (falming arrows)

Catholics simply have good taste.

>>2787767
Men are mortal and the Church liked to regularly remind them of this because as the keeper of souls it gave the Church power and influence

Ghouls.

Skeletons require more dark energy and are actually a logistical nightmare for necromancers to maintain, they are raised quickly and flung at the enemy.

Zombies are the opposite, they run on very little and can render a region dangerous to civilians for years though have many vulnerabilities against an alert prepared opponent.

Ghouls represent the best balance, their soul belongs to another but in exchange they are granted a dose of otherworldly power that is like being on crack 24/7. As a Ghoul you would form the core of the army and participate in making your deity's vision manifest in the physical realm, performing all sorts of interesting tasks until your corporeal form is destroyed after which you will watch over your comrades from above.
