I'm planning on a character that is basically an Aztec priest of death using just Cloistered Cleric and Paragnostic Apostle. One of his main things will be the use of a main undead cohort as his bodyguard. One of the best ways to do this seems to be Undead Leadership since you can basically choose what you get, rather than relying on raising things.
My creature of choice would be an awakened humanoid skeleton. If that doesn't work for some reason, I will go with a ghoul, unless there is another low ECL intelligent undead someone knows about. For my followers I will have a murder of zombie crows, mostly for effect and for some help scouting via aid another.
I would like to make it something simple. I will probably use Fighter, Rogue, or one of the Paladin variants (no ToB since this is not a PC and I don't want to be too powerful).
What I would like to know is:
What would the ECL of an awakened skeleton be? Would it be its HD or does it get an LA?
Is there another intelligent undead with a low base ECL (less than ghoul)?
What are some feats/classes that would help him protect me (maybe like the fighter variant in dragon 310, but not so terrible)?
Thanks.
