Hi everyone, I'm playing tomorrow an Urgathoa Cleric level 6 and I want my undead minions. But I'm having so much trouble to trully understand this spell.
First- I want to reanimate my last character who died in this campaign, also level 6... that means that when I reanimate him he will only have 1 HD, cause he lost his class HD, right? But adding templates raises his HD or not? I want him to be a bloody mudra skeleton (my DM let me to attach to extra limbs in the time of casting the spell). So, is he will still be 1 HD? Or can I choose how many HD he can have? And this question birngs us to my second question...
Second- the rules says that the cost is 25gp per HD. This is calculate with his class HD or only his racial HD? The same example. My last character will raise with 1 HD, so it will cost me 25 gp (no templates) o I have to pay 150 gp (6 class HD, no templates)
Third- How do I give classes to my undeads? If I want a rogue skeleton, how can I magnage this? Or a ranger zombie? You get my point.
Fourth- If a reanimate a plague zombie... his spaws, will they be intelligent or not? I know they wont be under my control, but having the command undead solves that, unless they are intelligent undead.
I know that aplying templates raises the cost but only to reanimate them, not to the actual number I can control.
I know I have more doubts about this spell, but right now I don't remember them. So meanwhile you can answer this ones and then I will post the new ones.
Thanks in advanced.
