It retains any subtypes except alignment subtypes and subtypes that indicate kind. It does not gain the augmented subtype. It uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.Hit Dice: Drop any Hit Dice from class levels (to a minimum of 1) and raise them to d10s, adding bonus Hit Dice according to the following table, unless the base creature has less than one Hit Dice, in which case the burning zombies' Hit Die is double the base creatures. Being a Construct, a burning zombie is hard to destroy and gains bonus hit points as shown in the table.   Size Bonus Hit Dice Bonus Hit Points Tiny or smaller — Small +1 HD +10 HP Medium +1 HD +20 HP Large +2 HD +30 HP Huge +4 HD +40 HP Gargantuan +8 HD +60 HP Colossal +16 HD +80 HP Speed: A burning zombie loses all magical forms of movement (such as an Ogre Magi's flight) and all its remaining movement rates are reduced to 3/4 what they were in life. If the base creature can fly, its maneuverability rating drops to clumsy.Armor Class: A burning zombie's body is toughened by dehydration, its natural armor bonus increases by a number based on the monster’s size:  Tiny or smaller +1 Small +3 Medium +4 Large +5 Huge +6 Gargantuan +9 Colossal +13   Base Attack: A burning zombie has a base attack bonus equal to 3/4 its Hit Dice.Attacks: A burning zombie retains all the natural weapons, manufactured weapon attacks, and weapon proficiencies of the base creature. A burning zombie also gains a bite attack, which becomes the burning zombies primary attack.Damage: Natural and manufactured weapons deal damage normally. A bite attack deals damage depending on the zombie’s size (Use the base creature’s bite damage if it’s better), with additional fire damage from the Flaming Bite special attack - see below.  Size Bite Damage + Flaming Bite Damage Fine bite 1 + 1 fire Diminutive bite 1d2 + 1d2 fire Tiny 1d3 bite + 1d4 fire Small 1d4 bite + 1d6 fire Medium 1d6 bite + 1d6 fire Large 1d8 bite + 2d6 fire Huge 2d6 bite + 3d6 fire Gargantuan 2d8 bite + 4d6 fire Colossal 4d6 bite + 6d6 fire Special Attacks: A burning zombie retains none of the base creature’s special attacks but gains a Flaming Bite attack. Flaming Bite (Ex): - a burning zombies' head exudes flaming liquid, its bite attack does bonus fire damage as shown in the above damage table.Special Qualities: A zombie loses most special qualities of the base creature. It retains any extraordinary special qualities that improve its melee or ranged attacks. A zombie gains the following special quality.Damage reduction 5/slashingA burning zombie possesses all the traits of the Construct type except as follows:Corpse Construct: Resurrection and true resurrection can affect a burning zombie. These spells turn the burning zombie back into the living creatures they were before becoming constructs. A burning zombie is not affected by raise dead and reincarnate spells or abilities unless it is first destroyed, whereupon the spells affect the remains as if they were a normal corpse which died when the base creature had been killed to create the burning zombie. A burning zombie that is raised or resurrected requires a week of best rest or a heal or regenerate spell to recover fully.Saves: Base save bonuses are Fort +1/3 HD, Ref +1/3 HD, and Will +1/3 HD.Abilities: A burning zombie’s Strength increases by +2, its Dexterity decreases by 2, it has no Constitution or Intelligence score, its Wisdom changes to 10, and its Charisma changes to 1.Skills: A burning zombie is mindless and has no skills.Feats: A burning zombie loses all feats of the base creature and gains Toughness.Environment: Any land and underground.Organization: Any.Challenge Rating: Depends on Hit Dice, as follows: [I've bumped it up from a regular zombie since it doesn't have the "single action only" quality and gains slightly better AC and a flaming bite]  Hit Dice - Challenge Rating 1/2 HD - CR 1/4 1 HD - CR 1/2 2-3 HD - CR 1 4-5 HD - CR 2 6-7 HD - CR 3 8–10 HD - CR 4 12–14 HD - CR 5 15–16 HD - CR 6 18–20 HD - CR 7   Treasure: None, although the carnivorous wall that created it may have some.Alignment: Always neutral.Advancement: As base creature, but double Hit Dice (maximum 20), or—if the base creature advances by character class.Level Adjustment:—.    Sample Burning Zombies  A corpse shambles towards you, its jaws snapping as burning slime drips from its mouth and eye sockets.      Human Commoner Burning ZombieType: Medium ConstructHit Dice: 2d10+23 (34 hp)Initiative: –1 (Dex)Speed: 20 ft.
