DM Needs Help!

[Cowboy_ninja]

I need a template or some kind of ritual type thing that would bring a creature (illithid) back to life enough to use its spell like/psionic abilities.

That catch is i want it to be brought back to life under the control of the person who brought them back to life, and I need it at about a CR6.

I'm already lowering the illithid down to a CR6 using the savage species rules.

ideas?

Make it up as you go along. You're the DM. Just slap a zombie or some other type of Undead Template on it, and give it back whatever powers you want while saying it's under X's control.

Yeah, this is going to be a custom deal. I'd be inclined to make it a custom undead creature, assuming you're cool with it being undead. Otherwise it'll be some (likely evil) version of resurrection that forces the creature back to life under your control, but weakened.
