Im Dm:ing a group consisting of:

NE Half-black dragon, insectoid, soulguard (variant monk, no difference except alignment requirements) ECL 6, soon 7
CE Drider, Favoured Soul of Nerull, ECL 6
CN Human Wizard 4
CE Half-fiend Fighter ECL 4

(And to my group, this may or may not be a spoiler warning. Suit yourself)

To the minor problem:
I have had some nice complaining about a high percantage of undead and their ilk (necromancer etc) in my encounters, but thats the way I like it, and it wont be like that forever.

And then I saw the Vasuthant from MM3 and fell in love. I knew I had to have a couple of these ruining my players day/endlessly dark subterranian night. And its not that obvious that theyre undead either.

Got any cool ideas of what I could do with the Vasuthants? (except advancing them to CR 5-6?) Would it be fair to grant the vasuthant the horrific vasuthants Alter Past (su) once per day/week/millenia at CR 6?
Would the Create Undead spell (or whatever) be sufficient to create a vasuthant?
