[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7644127, member: 2209"] [b]Complete Mage[/b] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/51631/Complete-Mage-35?affiliate_id=17596]Complete Mage[/URL] 3.5 [b]Zombie:[/b] [i]Seed of Undeath[/i] spell. [i]Greater Seed of Undeath[/i] spell. SEED OF UNDEATH Necromancy Level: Cleric 4, sorcerer/wizard 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 full round Range: Touch Target: Living humanoid or animal touched Duration: 1 day/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes The subject’s face briefly takes on a gaunt, pale look and a death’s-head rictus before returning to normal. You plant a kernel of negative energy in a subject, which is held in check by the positive energy inherent to the subject’s own life force. Seed of undeath does not in and of itself, harm the subject. Should the subject die before the spell expires, however, it rises as a zombie 1 round later (as per the animate dead spell), as long as a sufficient corpse remains. Any undead created in this manner are automatically under your control. At any given time, you can have a number of HD worth of undead animated through seed of undeath equal to your own HD, and they count against the maximum number of HD worth of undead you can control at any time (as described under animate dead). Material Component: A black onyx gem worth 25 gp per HD of the subject. SEED OF UNDEATH, GREATER Necromancy Level: Cleric 7, sorcerer/wizard 7 Components: V, S, M Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 40-ft.-radius emanation Every creature in the area briefly takes on a corpselike appearance, then returns to normal. This spell functions like seed of undeath, except it applies to any humanoid or animal that dies in the area while the spell is in effect. Corpses of creatures that died before you cast the spell, or that died outside the area and were then carried within, are unaffected. Material Component: A black onyx worth at least 5,000 gp.
