[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6094064, member: 57383"] I don't mind calling it an effective cleric level, so long as it gains additional HD of subjugated creatures. Fine by me. It avoids confusion to do one thing at a time. Let's see. Revising... [B]Subjugate Undead (Su):[/B] A bone tyrant can subjugate vast numbers of undead. This ability allows the bone tyrant can rebuke, command, dispel or bolster undead as if it were an evil cleric of level [B]X[/B], with the following additional rules: A bone tyrant can use this power an unlimited number of times a day, unlike an evil cleric's rebuke undead ability. A bone tyrant (master or minion) can command any number of undead whose Hit Dice are less than half the master's effective cleric level, provided the total Hit Dice of said undead does not exceed [B]Y[/B] times the master's effective cleric level. This Hit Dice limit is a pool shared between the bone tyrant master and all its bone tyrant minions, all of whom can command the subjugated undead. The bone tyrant master's orders take priority over its minions. To create a clear chain-of-command, A master can order subjugated undead to only accept commands from a particular bone tyrant minion who thereby becomes their "commanding officer". The bone tyrant master (but not the minions) can also command a single undead whose Hit Dice do not exceed its own. This undead's Hit Dice still count towards the Hit Dice total the bone tyrants can subjugate. Should a bone tyrant master gain levels in a class with the rebuke undead ability, those levels stack with the effective cleric level of the master's Subjugate Undead ability. Add the Hit Dice limit of undead it can command using rebuke undead to the Hit Dice limit of its Subjugate Undead ability. [/QUOTE]
