Was this intentional? I heard yes a long time ago, but undead swashbucklers can't taunt at all, whether they're controlled or guards.

I think undead are for the most part incapable of intelligent speech, is the reason?

I mean maybe if it was a vampire swashbuckler... Man I don't know.

Necromancers do not need more buffs.

In fact every time a necromancer types in "order all" they should lose half a level of xps.

And anything that discourages people from rolling actual swashbucklers is bad. Seriously, why do caster classes have to have the abilities of other classes by proxy of their charm spells? It's one of the reasons they've been so god damn overpowering.

I'm for buffing casters, but not if it means more NPCs, or better NPCs. Their actual *spellcasting* needs to improve. Things like acid blast, magma spray, you know, damage spells.

All-in-all I think such a change is ill-advised, and would just discourage dark aura players from rolling swashbucklers. Why roll a swashbuckler when you can roll a necromancer, get taunt, and undead zerg with wraiths, and several broken level spells? Doesn't seem very prudent to me.

Taunt requires sentience. For the most part, undead are not sentient.

Alright, I was just wondering if that was a purposeful change or not. Thanks!
