Corpses In The Dark

[Valo56]

Know those corpses in the Underdark? "Remains of an Adventurer" and things like that. What if they were more than simply a random bit of loot that pops up now and then?

I suggest PC's be able to either turn them in to the Mausoleum in Sanctuary for some gold and XP, for monster PC's and Carrion Feasters (and maybe Rotbringers) to be able to devour them for XP, or for just necromancers in general to be able to use them to summon an improved version of the Shambling Corpse.

I think that's a brilliant idea. Maybe have a 'corpse' item in the loot bag which can be recovered or eaten, and some sort of special power of some means for someone to make a necromancy check (same formula as used for corrupting undead, hidden DC and roll) to try and turn it into a mummy suitable for animation.
