Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hashmalum" data-source="post: 634664" data-attributes="member: 9450">In the Epic Level Handbook, there's a feat called Undead Mastery that increases the number of undead controllable by means of the rebuke/control undead ability. Epic spells developed with the animate dead seed can exceed the normal limits by raising the DC of the Spellcraft check needed to cast the spell.In Magic of Faerun, there's an 8th level cleric spell general of undeath that works like Undead Mastery but has a duration of 1 day/level. There's also a 3rd level necromancer spell undead lieutenant that allows you to give an undead the ability to control other undead under your control, but since the lesser undead will still be counting towards your limit, it's really only useful if you don't want to risk leading your undead in person.The Wizards of the Coast website has (somewhere) a feat called Undead Leadership that allows an undead character the ability to attract undead followers (analogous to the way the normal Leadership feat attracts normal followers). While this won't normally benefit living characters, it seems reasonable to allow it to work for a character with the 2nd level necromancer spell shroud of undeath from Magic of Faerun, which causes the caster to be seen as an undead creature by unintelligent undead. In the same article there were some things like prestige classes focused around leading vast hordes of the undead. There might be some other stuff there you can use.</blockquote>
