Subordinate clerics can always be employed, but they are generally needed elsewhere too and are an annoyingly vulnerable target. By using an undead generation plinth, you can have your mortal agents recycle the bodies of fallen foes and turn them into soldiers for your own side.An undead generation plinth is a flat square slab of matt black stone 10 feet on a side. When corpses are thrown on to it, it animates them as zombies or skeletons. These arise with the purpose in mind that is programmed into the plinth, such as ‘defend the castle gate’ or ‘obey the man in the black helm’. Only one purpose may be set at once and all undead generated by the plinth abide by it as best they can. The purpose may be changed by anyone who knows the command word for the plinth.A plinth may animate up to 60 hit dice of undead (zombies or skeletons only) per day in total, but no more than 36 hit dice of undead generated may be active at any one time, owing to the limited amount of undead that the plinth may ‘control’. Instead of animating new undead creatures, the plinth may be used to restore damaged ones. If a damaged undead creature stands on the plinth and the appropriate command word is spoken, it may receive the benefits of an inflict light wounds spell at the expense of one hit dice of animation potential from the plinth for that day.Caster Level: 18th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate dead, inflict light wounds; Market Price: 100,000 gp.</blockquote>
