Humanoid Races With Fractional Hit Die

[supersonic29]

A friend is designing a character which gets a certain number in hit dice of skeletal servants and he's trying to get enough to subsidize the crew of a ship. What are some humanoid races with fractional hit die (preferably 1/4 and not smaller than small) to turn into skeletons and use as a crew? Thanks from the both of us in advance. :smallbiggrin:

Skeletons have a minimum hit dice of 1. Humanoids with less than 2 hit dice trade their hit dice for class levels.

Then why does the table for making skeletons have 1/2 hit dice listed? It doesn't go lower, but it doesn't bottom at one. Also skeletons lose all class levels.

Non-humanoids can still be made into skeletons. Presumably, anything with less than 1/2 HD isn't worth making into a skeleton.

(Stop being so humanoid-centric, gah! :P It's not all about you 2-arms-2-legs-types.)

But whatever it is has to operate a ship! The quadrupeds might not do that so well :smalltongue:

What about aberrations (like Elan or Flayers), or Giants, or Fey?
Ugh, that being said, I don't know of any humanoids that have fractional HD, but don't monkeys? They could presumably manipulate the equipment of a ship. They are unfortunately small creatures however.

Jermlaine and Sprite, Grig are fey with 1/2 HD

The only ¼ HD humanoid I can think is Incarnate Construct Animated Object, Fine (Action figure)

Nope! Incarnate Construct has been explicitly stated to be useless on an Animated Object.

Nope! Incarnate Construct has been explicitly stated to be useless on an Animated Object. "The spell does not work on constructs that are only constructs temporarily (such as objects affected by an animate objects spell)."
Firstly, Animate Objects works with Permanency, so it wouldn't temporal anymore
And second, it's restriction of spell, template itself
