Zombie[edit]
|
Medium undead, neutral evil Armor Class 17
Saving Throws Str +8, Con +6 Spirit Points. The zombie has 8 spirit points which they may expend. All spirit points are regained at the end of a long rest. Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the zombie to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead. Weakness to Radiance. Any time the zombie radiant damage, it takes an additional 7 (2d6) radiant. Sunlight Hypersensitivity. If an amount of skin equal to the surface of the zombie's head or greater is in direct sunlight, they take 9 (2d6 + 2) radiant damage at the end of each of their turns, or every 6 seconds outside of initiative. Creatures attempting to reveal the zombie may do so as the result of a successful shove attempt. Recovering themself requires an action. Additionally, the zombie does not age or need to sleep, and they count as one size larger for the sake of how much you can push, pull, or lift. Flesh Detection. If there is only one creature in a 15 foot radius of the zombie, they automatically learn their alignment, even if they aren't aware of their presence, so long as they produce a scent. Brainstorm. When the zombie is targeted by an effect in which they must make a saving throw or the entity initiating the effect makes any sort of attack roll or skill check, the zombie may spend 1 spirit point to contest it with an Intelligence saving throw, completely ignoring the effect on a success. ACTIONSMultiattack. The zombie makes two Zombie Claws attacks. Zombie Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Extend Claws (1 Spirit Point). As a bonus action, the reach of the zombie's Zombie Claws increases by 5 feet for 1 minute. Zombie Crush (1 Spirit Point). As a bonus action while grappling a creature in two hands, the target becomes restrained until they escape the grapple and automatically 5 bludgeoning damage at the end of each of the zombie's turns. Blood Drain (1 Spirit Point). As a bonus action, the zombie gains the following for 1 minute. On a hit with an unarmed strike, they regain hit points equal to the damage you deal unless the target is an elemental, construct, or undead to a maximum of twice the target's proficiency bonus. When they reduce a creature's hit points to 0 and would regain hit points from this feature, they may instead raise them as an undead after 1 minute. They regain hit points equal to the damage they dealt that reduced to them to 0 hit points, they gain the Zombie feature, and they become charmed by the zombie. Bloody Summoning (1 Spirit Point). While Blood Drain is active, one willing or unconscious creature within the zombie's reach that is not an elemental, construct, or undead is killed instantly and the zombie regains hit points as if they had hit them with an unarmed strike and spirit points equal to half their proficiency bonus rounded down, and fulfilling their daily requirement of food and water.

Zombies are the vile spawn of a vampire, created either by raising the dead or draining the living of their life, reversing the "flow" of their life energy. Very few zombies are able to retain their personalities, but those that do are a much grater threat than a typical zombie. Of those that retain their personality, a select few are empowered by so much hatred to become nearly as strong as a vampire themself.
