Juju Mystery can't create Juju zombies?


Rules Questions

So the Juju mystery goes out of its way to give Create Undead to the oracle as a 5th level spell for the express purpose of creating Juju zombies, but the spell description says that you must also cast enervation or energy drain to raise a Juju zombie. Of the two, only energy drain is on the oracle spell list, and juju doesn't get enervation as a mystery spell. Is it really intended that a juju oracle can't raise a juju zombie until 18th level without help from a wizard/witch?

UMD skill + scroll opf enervation.


Which requires getting one from a witch/wizard/sorcerer.


As it is on the Sorc/Wiz list and you are a spontaneous caster with good charisma, Improved Eldritch Heritage: Arcane can work.

I agree it is an oversight.

Since the juju mystery bonus spell list specifically says "juju zombies only" for the create undead spell, I'd take that to mean the additional spells required are omitted in exchange for the limitation. That seems like the only fair interpretation.

I agree with Are.

This is ultimately the same conclusion a friend who is the de facto alternate GM when I (rarely) get a chance to play a character came to.


its not really a regular create undead spell, but a "add juju template to corpse" -spell. And as you get stronger, and better... and with corpsecrafter feats better still... i cannot help but wonder if the other players arent secretly hoping theyll die soon after hitting 10th level.. so they can be reanimated
