Zombie Template

Anything that was once living can become a zombie. If wanting to turn a creature into a zombie version of themselves, apply the following perimeters to the creature’s stats. Creatures that are already undead cannot become a zombie.

Creature Alterations

Remains on the creature as is.

Attack & Damage

Attacks become claw and bite. Accuracy is based on the new fighting statistic. Damage is based on the size of the creature plus their might score.

Essence
