ORACLE - Raise The Dead...


Rules Questions


You can summon a skeleton or zombie of whatever variety with HD equal to your Oracle level.

What are the limit's? Can I summon a Hydra/Fast Zombie and give it more Hit Die?

Also it is unclear, what is a Advanced Zombie or Skeleton?


The ability states that the zombie/skeleton has HD equal to your Oracle level. It is summoned, not created, so it simply materializes. That would suggest that it doesn't matter what the base creature is - your choice - and it comes into play with HD equal to class level. Advanced is a template found on page 294 of the Bestiary.

At 7th level you should be able to summon a fast zombie hydra with 7HD.

EDIT: For the record, this actually reduces the HD of the Hydra. A hydra zombie of any type is supposed to have 9 HD (because it is Huge). Personally I would rule that until you can summon a 9 HD zombie, the hydra would be off limits.
