I have a magic item that lets me check once a day to see if I can animate some dead thing, and this day I got lucky so I got to animate a zombie. Second, he was only intended to do stuff like open doors in case they were trapped. Third, in this combat, he managed to successfully grapple a *pair* of very dangerous bad guys, to keep them from getting away and to (somehow) soak their attacks while we could do the real damage.

He rolled very high on various saves and, when necessary, on the d20 to keep from dying, like zombies do. Sadly, after a couple of rounds of grappling the big bad end guy, he finally missed one of those zombie-death saves, and he perished from the face of the earth. He will be remembered fondly as the MVP of the fight, assuming we survive.

The zombie is part of being a sorceror correct? My friend is playing one on EverWinter so I am getting an understanding of them.
That is a pretty awesome and resourceful escape from peril.


In my description of Wild Mage, I state that their power usually leads to the demise of their friends. Here is the chart for Wild Magic from a mercenary ship to ship battle we ran at GC.
