Does a raised Skeleton or Zombie maintain the movement of the base creature


Rules Questions


Dear all,

In my group there is an necromancer that usually turn creatures undead. An Example: An undead quickling maintain his 120ft speed as a skeleton?

Thank you all


Almost always.

Speed: A winged skeleton can’t use its wings to fly. If the base creature flew magically, so can the skeleton. All other movement types are retained.
Speed: Winged zombies can still fly, but maneuverability drops to clumsy. If the base creature flew magically, so can the zombie. Retain all other movement types.

Also note that they lose all special qualities. So any special qualities that involve movement would also be lost.
Ex. A zombie squid wouldn't be able to use its Jet movement because it's being provided by a special quality.

With you quickling example, he'd be able to retain the 120ft speed but not the blur effect.
