Ranks of Pale Bone
Effect
The theurge imbues corpses or other remains with an animating force,
raising them as soulless lesser undead. For each hit die or level of the
caster, 1d6 hit dice worth of lesser undead can be raised, assuming
sufficient raw materials are available. The corpses need not be intact,
as bones and tissue will merge and flow under the sorcery. Undead
that have already been destroyed once, however, are no longer useful
for further necromancy.
The great majority of human-sized corpses rise as 1 hit die undead,
though the corpses of terrible beasts or fearsome Misbegotten may
be more dangerous. The raised creatures are mindlessly loyal to the
theurge or any lieutenants they nominate, but otherwise act as do
most lesser undead. They remain animate until destroyed or until
the invocation that fuels their existence is dispelled. If their creator
is slain, the risen creatures will run rampant against the living.
