Life to Limb
Necromancy
Level: Sor/Wiz 2, Dread Necromancer 2
Component: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One severed limb
Duration: Instantaneous
Saves: No
Spell Resistance: None
By using a tiny spark of necromantic energy, you can animate the severed limb or body part of a living creature. Treat it as an undead creature with a size category, for the purpose of stats and material components, of three less than its owner's size (Medium creatures produce Diminutive limbs, receiving whatever bonuses and penalties apply from size) to a minimum of Fine. It has base attributes of 8 Strength, 8 Dexterity, no Constitution, 10 Wisdom, no Intelligence, and 1 Charisma. It gains a slam attack as a Zombie of its size. Its HD is 1/5 of the owner's, rounded down. If the owner's HD is below 5, use the following table to determine HD:
{table=head]Original HD | New HD
4 | 1/2
3 | 1/2
2 | 1/4
1 | 1/4
1/2 | 1/4
1/4 | 0 (1 hp)
[/table]
For the purpose of undead controlled, animated limbs count towards your animate dead limit (generally 2 HD/CL). Treat fractional HD as 1 HD for the purpose of maximum HD controlled (for rebuking, spells, etc.). No creature can produce more than five limbs (arms, legs, head, tails), but the number of limbs is also limited by the actual amount of limbs the creature has.
Material Component: A shard of black onyx worth 10 gp per size category of limb.
