I have a level 7 cleric in my party who has the death domain and teh ability to cast Animate Dead. Recently they encountered a Dire Tiger and it was uncomfortably close to a TPK. After they ended up slaying the Dire tiger my cleric wanted to Animate it. He didn't have the needed opals, but here is my questions. If he was able to raise it under the rule he would have been able to command a zombie version of a beast that was as powerful as the whole party? It seem to me that is to powerful of a spell for third level. By adding the zombie template it seems to make the beast even stronger, (minus the special attacks and staggered condition) am I reading this wrong? Thanks for your help!

When looking at the city specs for say a large city, it gives the base value for the market place as 10,400 gp. My understanding is that anything less exspensive than that is easily found and readly available. However, it says that their are 4d4 minor items to be found in the city and 3d4 medium items and so on. With a 10,400 gold piece 'max' for easily found items wouldn't that mean that all minor magic item would be avaliable? or does the base value number only corrilate to nonmagic items? Thanks for your help.
