Hello im currently playing a Undead lord in my campaign. I am looking for rules and advice on the spell "Create Undead" my party has destroyed to lovely oni ogre magi. My question is if i turn them into ghouls will they retain their constant flight? What if i make it a skeleton champion will it retain the class levels that it had in life? Will his HD change. All help suggestions on what to do and how to go about it is welcomed. Only stipulation is it has to all be legal with the pathfinder/paizo gods seal my DM is a rules guy to the T. No homebrew or something that cant be found and referenced because he will ask.
For ghouls. In the pathfinder SRD i saw that giants keep there racial HD and just get advanced to ghouls of their HD
Skeleton Champions retain all class levels and HD, though racial HD change to d8, if flight is supernatural effect then it is also retained.
With ghouls, I'm not exactly sure, the rules on creating ghouls seem to suggest not.
the question is at what level do you need to be in order to use the spell Create Dead and make one?
As soon as you have access to the Create Undead spell, 11th.
