Libris Mortis was generally received positively by reviewers. Starter Kit - D&D Edition | Part 1: Character Creation & Introductions - Duration: 44:57. Spells commented on by reviewers included Consumptive Field, Awaken Undead, Wither Limb, Avasculate, Necrotic Cyst (and related spells, including Necrotic Domination and Necrotic Bloat), along with spells aimed at players, such as Spawn Screen and Mass Death Ward, described as 'more pragmatic than exciting'. An interpreter finds fragments of The Book of the Dead, opening a portal to the afterlife. The chapter has four prestige classes specifically for undead: Kenneth Newquist, of Nuketown, said that the undead prestige classes 'are excellent for turning traditional undead threats into something exceptional', and said that his 'only complaint with these prestige classes is that there aren't enough of them'.
