if it deals the same damage as the balor's then CR+1.

I remember that, but I'm looking mostly to put it onto some Zombies.

CR +1 does make sense, though. I'll probably take the range down a bit and give it HD-dependant damage. Something like 1d6+1d6/2 HD. Thanks!

Again, very hard to tack onto Zombies, especially low-level, high-number mobs.

Hmm... Maybe, then... I dunno, I still would prefer the template, but it sounds like its worth checking out.
