    • Thaebas intones blasphemous words to gain control over a zombie he can see within 100 feet. A zombie that is mindless and not under someone else's control falls under his control automatically; otherwise, the zombie or its controller can attempt a 22 Will save to avoid being controlled (whichever has the higher modifier). The target zombie is temporarily immune for 24 hours if successful. The attempt fails if the zombie is the same level as Thaebas or higher. The zombie remains controlled by Thaebas until either is destroyed. Thaebas can control up to 8 zombies at a time. If Thaebas would control a number of zombies over this limit, he chooses which to release.

    • Thaebas can create lesser zombies with a 1-hour ritual. During this time, Thaebas chants and performs an unholy dance over the corpses he intends to animate. Unlike normal rituals, this doesn't require a skill check or Cost. At the end of this hour, Thaebas can create one 1st- or 2nd-level zombie, or two zombies of level 0 or lower. These are automatically under Thaebas's control and count toward the limit of Command Zombie. Any zombies created by Thaebas still count toward the XP budget of an encounter normally.
    • Thaebas has created enough individual zombies to form shambler troops, which are effectively 4th-level creatures.
    • Rather than creating them directly, he needed to train weaker zombies to work as troops.
