Undead: ?
Animated Skeleton: ?
Very Powerful Animated Troll Skeleton: Very powerful animated troll skeletons can be made when the cleric uses a complete set of her own bones, each ripped from her body and allowed to regrow. Such monstrosities have maximum hit points, the same strength score as the caster, and are turned as if they were two Hit Dice higher than normal. They can be mentally commanded by their creators without uttering a sound, so great is the link between the spellcaster and her own old set of bones. Fortunately, these forms of undead are extremely rare, for few chieftains have the luxury of cutting off their own heads to provide the skull for their unliving guardians without having their status as chieftain being challenged while they are in such a helpless state.
Very Powerful Animated Troll Skeleton, Monstrosity, Unliving Guardian: ?
Zombie: The flesh that regrows as a result of this [second helping] spell is fresh, as if the victim was just recently slain. The flesh rots to putrescence after 24 hours if not eaten, which is generally not a problem with most trolls. However, if second helping is cast upon a complete skeleton followed by an animate dead spell, the resulting undead will be a zombie rather than a skeleton, and the zombie’s dead flesh does not putrefy 24 hours after the casting of the second helping spell, as would normally be the case.
