Zed Ichor (3.5e Equipment)

Zed Ichor
Zed ichor is a unnatural biological hazard produced by an unknown manufacturer. The blue liquid is an injury poison which has a rotting effect on on living tissue, but an even worse effect on the dead. Against the living it deals negative levels which are removed after 24 hours. Against dead corpses, it brings them back as if animate dead had been cast on them, but only as zombies and not automatically under your control. Each dose can cover the equivalent of 1d4 HD; if the amount is not enough to raise the corpse then multiple applications can be made and the result is cumulative.

Creatures killed by zed ichor, or killed 1 minute after being struck with zed ichor, have the effects of possible reanimation occur immediately.

It has no effect on the undead. Dead corpses must be fresh enough to still contain flesh.

Type: Injury DC 14 Initial Effect: 1d3 negative levels. Reanimation as a zombie per animate dead, raising 1d4 HD worth of zombies. Secondary Effect: 1 negative level. Price: Cost::500 gp
