[QUOTE="Zhaleskra, post: 7873111, member: 20544"] Despite ENWorld being D&D-centric, I wasn't thinking specifically of D&D. You do still have the level limiter in say, HARP, as Create Undead requires 15 PP to even cast, which means the caster would have to be at least 4th level due to how HARP max skill ranks work. In HARP, both Animate Dead and Create Undead have a limiter on how long the corpse can have been dead (1 day for the first, and a week for the second). I'm sure there are scaling rules to affect that as well. Then there's also Control Undead, and Undead Mastery, the second of which basically being "the undead will follow the orders the were given until given new ones without you having to concentrate on controlling them". The limiter on that last spell is how many undead you can have mastered at once. I'm vaguely familiar with FR, which I avoid for a sense of a setting being overdeveloped. Still might be a good place to yoink ideas from. [/QUOTE]
