[QUOTE="Dozen, post: 6002512, member: 6698275"] Tome of Necromancy is also third party, but since you asked... The writers tried and mostly succeeded to fix the core rules for Necromancy where they were broken or unfair, such as morality of spells and various undead creatures or rules for their creation. Sadly, they are preoccupied with trying to enchance official material to the point where they overdo it or try to fix a rule which wasn't broken in the first place. That said, I found their rules for creating undead quite sensible. There are a lot of undead creatures in WoTC books, but only a small fraction of them include rules for creation in their description, and even those require spells that have a HD limit while rules for creating other creatures do not, which is unfair for obvious reasons. Under these rules, various categories of undead creatures require a creation feat and either a spell, material or other criteria. To create a zombie, you'd need the Body Assemblage feat, and either a Character Level at least the zombie's CR or Animate Dead. [/QUOTE]
