Shroud of the Zombie

[sillyguyjim]

Shroud of the Zombie receives about as much love as the Pale Master skeleton summons. While it's only 1 point and available at level 6, it's abilities are rather contradictory.

A) Give a boost to str, con, and damage die (for unarmed) at the cost of important caster stats; favoring melee over casting.
B) Take away any perceived melee benefits by adding on a 20% attack speed penalty.

-------------------------------------
To make this form a little more favorable, I suggest a combination of the following or similar changes be made.

1) Remove 20% attack speed penalty.

2) Decrease unarmed die increase from +2 to +1.

3) Decrease movement speed by 10-20%.

4) Decrease Int by an additional -2 (to -4).

5) Increase the AP cost from 1 to 2 (or 3).

6) Give decrease to Will save and give monsters Command Undead.
