[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6124555, member: 57383"] Suits me. Come to think of it, I'm not sure we need the "A bone tyrant master can marshal up to X Hit Dice of undead at any one time" bit - the HD marshalled per attempt will be limited by the Rebuke Undead check, and it'd be simpler if the HD limit of marshalled undead just used the bone tyrant's Subjugate Undead HD limit. I'd also clarify the "a bone tyrant instructs them to stop" bit and break the text up into several paragraphs for clarity. Putting it together... [B]Marshal Undead (Su):[/B] Once a day, a bone tyrant master can call undead to gather towards it. This is resolved like a use of the tyrant's Subjugate Undead ability (see below). Marshal Undead can affect any undead within 20 miles of the master, except for other bone tyrants, and does not require line of effect or line of sight. The marshaled undead count towards the Hit Dice limit of the bone tyrant's Subjugate Undead ability. Affected undead start walking towards the bone tyrant master, taking the most direct route available. A marshaled undead will try to move around or break through obstacles, and will attack creatures that threaten or obstruct them. If the Subjugate Undead check had a "rebuke" result, the undead will walk towards the master for 1 hour and then revert to normal behavior; undead marshaled by a "command" result will keep walking until they are destroyed or the bone tyrant master instructs them to stop (either in person or via a bone tyrant minion). A cleric can attempt to dispel a Marshal Undead effect by channeling positive energy or negative energy. This follows the "Dispelling Turning" rules for an evil cleric except there are no alignment restrictions. That OK for you? [/QUOTE]
