Feat: Body Assemblage

Body Assemblage [General]

The discarded husks of life are nothing more than a building material to you.

Source: Body Assemblage (3.5e Feat)

Prerequisites: Caster level 1st, ability to cast at least one 1st-level necromancy spell

Benefit: You may animate and control skeletons and zombies as though using the animate dead spell, except as noted here.

You may control a number of undead created with this feat whose total Hit Dice do not exceed 2 × your Charisma modifier (minimum 2 HD). This control pool is separate from and does not stack with any control granted by spells such as animate dead.

No undead created with this feat may have a Challenge Rating higher than your character level – 2.

Special: If you are 2nd level or lower, any undead you create with this feat counts as double its normal Hit Dice for the purpose of your control limit.

Undead created through this feat remain under your control indefinitely, but if you exceed your control limit, newly created undead become uncontrolled immediately.
