That pretty much answers my question then, thank you.

My basic question seems relatively simple, if two abilities offer you the ability to control a number of undead equal to your level would you control 2HD/level or just 1HD/Level? The rules don't seem to offer any clarification on the specific issue and I haven't been able to find any verdicts. The basic question becomes a bit more complicated looking to the specifics of what I plan on using though... I'm looking specifically at the Bonethrall (Su) ability of a Gravewalker (Witch) which reads as follows: "At 1st level, a gravewalker can take control of an undead creature within her aura of desecration by forcing her will upon it (Will negates, using her hex DC.) If it fails the save, the creature falls under her control as if she had used command undead (once control is established, the undead remain controlled even if outside the witch’s aura). Intelligent undead receive a new saving throw each day to resist her command. The witch can control up to 1 HD of undead creatures per caster level. If an undead creature is under the control of another creature, the witch must make an opposed Charisma check whenever her orders conflict with that creature’s." And the GraveKnight's Undead Mastery: "As a standard action, a graveknight can attempt to bend any undead creature within 50 feet to its will. The targeted undead must succeed at a Will save or fall under the graveknight's control. This control is permanent for unintelligent undead; an undead with an Intelligence score is allowed an additional save every day to break free from the graveknight's control. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same graveknight's undead mastery for 24 hours. A graveknight can control 5 Hit Dice of undead creatures for every Hit Die it has. If the graveknight exceeds this number, the excess from earlier uses of the ability becomes uncontrolled, as per animate dead." I also have a homebrew racial class based on the 3.5 Mohrg monster class so the character has a limit built in by that as well which was ruled as 2HD/level rather than the creature's absent limit in the Pathfinder write-up. So I'm confused as to what stacks with what and how, do all the abilities come together to mean I can control 7HD/level of undead, do I have to keep track of what abilities are used to control what for the 7HD, or do I just take the higher number and ability (in this case Undead Mastery) and only apply it. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you. |
