[QUOTE="Sorry_Charry, post: 5375389, member: 49866"] The HD of the undead creature in question is what you would use. A 2HD kobold zombie, for example, would count as 2HD toward your maximum (you would not, in other words, count a 2HD zombie as 1HD toward your maximum because it was originally a 1HD creature). All undead HD would benefit from your feat. Keeping with the previous example, a 2HD kobold zombie would receive +4 hp (not +2hp for originally being a 1HD creature). A few things here... Creatures do not recieve additional attacks from a high BAB when using natural weapons (A T-Rex has a +20 bite as opposed to a +20/+15/+10 bite). Find a creature that uses weapons... and you're golden. A Cloud Giant Skeleton, for example, receives additional attacks when using a weapon (thanks to its +8 BAB). But... for zombies, you're still out of luck. All zombies gain the following special quality: [I]Single Actions Only:[/I] Zombies have poor reflexes and can perform only a single move action or attack action each round. A zombie can move up to its speed and attack in the same round, but only if it attempts a charge. A minotaur for example receives additional attacks with its greataxe due to BAB... a zombie minotaur, not so much. If the base creature previously had a claw attack, you would use the better of the two (either the original claw damage or the claw damage based on skeleton size). Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
