Long story short, I am part of a Doomsgaurd party that all heals with negative energy (some by a feat others by DM bonus). So I rolled an undead dread necromancer with Destructive Retribution (Corpsecrafter feat line in Libris Mortis) that cause the undead I create to exploded dealing negative energy when they die. So I am the party healer with a twist.
Anyways, to exploit this further I want to make Undead through animate dead (no outsiders/elementals per my DM....lost this battle after lengthy discussions with arguments made from online forums on the same subject). I am coming in at lvl 15 (one lvl dip in underneathed arcana necromancer for another +2 HP per HD), so Dread Necromancer 14, but I have ways to get my caster level up to 18 for necromancy spells. Anyways, I want to use animate dead specifically (for this at least) so I do not have to worry about the minions disobeying my orders.
The concept is we will be flying more often than not and I will take a zombie off my robe (homebrew robe of many corpses) and chuck it at either enemies and/or allies. I am looking for the following:
1. Something that is exactly 10HD (will become 20HD Zombie)
2. Something that is a common thing so it is easy to find corpses of
3. If it can fly....even better but not crucial.
Then I will damage the newly made zombie until it has approximately 20 HP left so that I can kill it from the falling/bullrush damage (or an attack of opportunity against a charge). Most things we are running up against can easily do 20 damage per round and so I figure this would be a good place to start.
Bodies being the hardest thing here since I can currently animate 200+HD of zombies. I have lists of Outsiders I made before that ruling was finalized but also have easy access to Sigil. So I figure monster X as long as it is not rare, should be something easy to buy if needed. Stats do not matter at all here, just how easy it will be for me to buy/find a ton of these corpses. What monster would you recommend?
Also, on a similar note, any recommendations for material that covers corpse pricing? Would love to buy some hyrdas or some dragons...
