Ok folks, I remember some months back that someone put up stats for the infected from left 4 dead as 4e monsters, and I could use some help finding them again for the game I run IRL. I could have sworn they were posted here in roleplaying games, though I could be wrong. I did find this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127325), in which the infected are a bit too high level for me to use for my game. And I know there's another one, I remember that there was at least a bit of discussion in it and that I had liked the work on them. At least one internet if anyone can find it, or another set of stats for them.

Guh? How're all those infected level 14? I'd have pegged L4D as being within heroic tier. The protagonists are just regular people with guns and stamina.

But... I've never seen these 4e Infected. Sounds awesome though. You want them as undead or something else? I figured the things in L4D were more like 28 Days Later 'zombies' than actual zombies.

Okay, so this isn't 4e compatible, BUT you asked for L4D infected, so I have to put a shameless plug for mine.

I've got them on my forums. (http://daemoneye.freeforums.org/left-4-dead-mark-1-tabletop-edition-t88.html)

Admittedly, the setting is a little different, because the rules system is HP light, so it's actually a super heroes game, but the Infected are similar with only marginal fudges for rules.

Yeah, 14's a bit high for them I think. I was planning on classifying them as undead, whether or not they are technically "zombies". The idea for this adventure came to me after reading about the AI for L4D, the "Director". I wondered what if the director was a real person, which lead me to thinking about evil wizards, and so now the party is in a maze infested by zombies of all sorts, and I thought I'd throw in some L4D zombies since that's where this idea came from in the first place.

The whole not-being-4e-compatible thing is something of an issue. Since it looks like I'll be homebrewing the infected myself, I may use some of your ideas for the special abilities of the different infected though.
