Creating intelligent undead & Leadership

[hector212121]

In theory, could one create, say, a Dullahan and make them their cohort, or level 1 Skeletal Champions to serve as minions?

More, are they automatically made evil when made undead, or does it fall to the necromancer to determine whether they keep their life alignment or shed it in favor of the base alignment? About what level would being a Dullahan be equivalent to by Monster Cohort rules?

Cool questions, great character concept. The only thing i can speak to at the moment is, remember the act of creating undead is ALWAYS evil.

In theory, yes. The only limitation is what your GM will allow.

Creating undead is evil. That is black and white. That doesn't necessarily mean somebody who creates undead is evil, but it's extremely likely and you would have to have a really good reason not to be.

Ahh, what level would he be? If I was the GM and I did allow this, I would put his effective CR two levels underneath yours.

You are very much in GM fiat territory here.
