Maybe a foolish wizard consumed a potion whose reagents had fouled or a mad sorcerer animated a corpse with magical energy No Room Left in Hell: Worst of all, what if the lower planes where the souls of chaotic creatures and vile things are condemned to go after they die is now brimming with so much evil that there is no more room? With no place for these horrid souls to go, they rise from the grave and carry out their malicious desires in reanimated corpses driven by their own hatred for the forces of law and good.If the virus does not remain dormant in the target's system until they die then they simply rise as a zombie 1d12 rounds after the victim dies. If the virus is fast acting, the target becomes a zombie within 1d4 rounds after being exposed to the virus. If the virus is degenerative, the target takes 1d6 hit points of damage each day until they are dead. Within 4d6 hours of death via this degeneration they rise again as a zombie.Generally speaking, regardless of how the virus is passed between victims, the target should be entitled to a saving throw vs. disease to resist the effects. However, particularly potent strains may impose a penalty to this save of up to -4.It is up to each individual referee whether or not the zombie virus can be cured by a cure disease spell, though it is highly recommended to avoid such an easy fix. Generally speaking, short of a wish, the zombie virus should be incurable.Bite: In this case, the disease is passed on when the zombie bites an individual and that person is not slain.Airborne: The plague is spread merely by proximity. Anyone who comes within thirty feet of a zombie must make a saving throw vs. disease or else contract the virus and rise as a zombie after death.Ingesting: Whether a poison or some kind of fouled food, the virus is passed on when the target consumes something that carries the disease. They must make a saving throw every time they consume an item that is carrying the virus.Spore: This rare fungus grows in dungeons and when disturbed it releases spoors into the air. Anyone within 30' of the spoors must make a saving throw vs. disease or contract the virus.Magical: The virus is contracted via arcane (or divine, at the referee's discretion) spellcasting. Any time a character casts a spell, they must make a saving throw or risk contracting the virus.Chaotic RaiseDuring combat, the shaman may bring back a fallen comrade. The target rises the round after the spell is cast as an undead version of its previous self (meaning a cleric may attempt to Turn it), with max hit points. The Labyrinth Lord is free to choose the type of undead, depending on the party's level.</blockquote>
