In my first sejour into the realm of homebrewed 4th ed. monsters, I decided to remake one of my d20 modern creations (I know there are about 30,001 different zombies out there, but I always preffered my own). My main problem is that I haven't played 4th ed. yet, so I have no idea how well balanced this thing is. I was thinking of adding an immunity to 'turn undead', since the creature's not technically 'powered' by necrotic energy. The entry is fluff lite, pending further analysis. Also, let me know how the 'stat block' looks. I've convereted my old 3.5 block to 4th, and I 'think' it looks passable. Anyways, let me know!

*An ally can not use a heal check in place of the victim's own endurance check.
An extremely potent viral infection spreads through the victim, forcing their body to undergo rapid decay. The disease will not recover on its own, requiring divine healing to rid the disease.

Anyone? I'll take deconstructive criticism too (like: It sucks!). I could try to make something else if the genre is too tired. Looking any kind of feedback.
