=== Creating a Simple Zombie ===

Simple zombie is an acquired template that can be added to any corporeal creature (other than an undead) that has a skeletal system (referred to hereafter as the base creature).

==== Size and Type ====

The creature's type changed to [[Type::Undead]].  Do not change BAB or saves.

==== Hit Dice ====

The zombie retains the same HD, but they become d12s and count as having twice as many HD as it actually has for the purpose of interacting with abilities.  They lose all class features.

==== Speed ====

If the base creature can fly, its maneuverability rating drops to clumsy.

==== Armor Class ====

[[SRD:Armor Class|Natural armor]] bonus increases by a number based on the zombie’s size:

{|   class="zebra d20"
|-
| Tiny or smaller|| +0
|-
| Small|| +1
|-
| Medium|| +2
|-
| Large|| +3
|-
| Huge|| +4
|-
| Gargantuan|| +7
|-
| Colossal|| +11
|}

==== Attack ====

A zombie retains all the natural weapons, manufactured weapon attacks, and weapon proficiencies of the base creature. A zombie also gains a slam attack with the damage shown below.

{|   class="zebra d20"
|-
| Fine|| 1
|-
| Diminutive|| 1d2
|-
| Tiny|| 1d3
|-
| Small|| 1d4
|-
| Medium|| 1d6
|-
| Large|| 1d8
|-
| Huge|| 2d6
|-
| Gargantuan|| 2d8
|-
| Colossal|| 4d6
|}

==== Special Attacks ====

A zombie retains none of the base creature’s special attacks.

==== Special Qualities ====

A zombie loses most special qualities of the base creature. It retains any extraordinary special qualities that improve its melee or [[SRD:Ranged Attack|ranged attacks]]. A zombie gains the following special quality.

A zombie can move up to its speed and attack in the same [[SRD:Round|round]], but only if it attempts a [[SRD:Charge|charge]].

''Tough Flesh {{Ex}}:'' Double the normal amount of hp of the creature.  In addition it gains Improved Toughness<sup>CW</sup> gaining +1 hp/level.

==== Abilities ====

A zombie’s [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] increases by +2, its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] decreases by 2, it has no [[SRD:Constitution|Consitution]] or [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] score.
