    Question about Summon and focus and more

    Okay I'm making a necromatic spell: Create Lesser Undead (seleton, zombie etc...)

    Was thinking of using summon 8 180 point creatures... Then I started bogging down on the Foci. I want the spell to have a focus. but should it be the bodies or the graveyard/battlefield/whatever.

    That lead me to maybe using Transform instead of Summon. 8 dead dudes to 8 undead dudes...

    What would YOU do....

    Check out the Create Vampire Spell in FREd on page 143. That can easily be duplicated for lesser undead by just changing the point totals and increasing the number of creatures.

    I would do focus...

    Hi Sir Loris,

    I would do a focus that is expended when the summon is used. Definitely also consider adding a limitation of some type to reflect the difficulty of getting the bodies...assuming this fellow doesn't live in a graveyard or something.
    GAME ON!

    If I remember right, Anubis (CKC) has this ability (for mummies, but still).
