Buff 'em up a little, make their bite be diseased and an actual threat to making the PC into a zombie, and you're all set.As I see it, either the game needs to be capped, or you need to be able to scale a zombie in a real fashion so it's actually a threat no matter what the level is. The continual escalation that D&D has though really argues against something like a zombie being a significant threat for very long.</blockquote>
