All this talk about clerics makes me wonder. Since zombies have twice the hit dice of the creature they were when alive, and have low CR's even their HD is sky-high, they tend to actually be amongst the toughest creatures for a cleric to turn. What kind of zombies are we talking about here? 2 HD? What level are the characters supposed to be?

This is the first adventure of the Adventure Path, and not too many encounters in, so the party will likely still be 1st level at this point, maybe 2nd.

They're CR1 2HD zombies, with a little twist in the special attacks.

Next week their new characters will be picking up where the others left off...which will likely lead to them fighting their old ...undead... selves.

And yes, none of the newly made characters are clerics...

And lo, did the new characters sweep down and fight with our old undead selves victoriously!

Sadly, however, we realized that we have no dedicated arcane caster, no divine caster whatsoever, and the strongest characters have strength scores of 13.

It may not be much longer until TPK #2 takes place.

And then we're all playing clerics...
