Controlling undead question.


Rules Questions


If you have two clerics who can control undead, the rules say something about an opposed charisma check to control them.

If one of the clerics created the undead, does she have any type of advantage for currently being in control of the undead?

How often can the clerics attempt to gain control over each other's undead, every round?

This whole mechanic seems a bit odd to me, a creator of undead is always at risk of his undead being taken from him.

Has anyone had this happen in game? How did it work out? Am I misunderstanding something here?

Thanks in advance,

I think you have the mechanic right.

I would add a slight bonus for the person who created the undead, but that's probably not appropriate if you believe in the "let the best man win" philosophy.

I also think that attempting to control undead and failing should "provoke" them somehow. I'm sure it would for an intelligent undead, but I'm referring to simple skeletons and zombies as well.
