Sep 25, 2014 2:52:10	I am intrigued that there are other types of zombie and skeleton in the MM but dissapointed that there is no way for the Necromancers to create the variants of these two monsters.   Surely the Animate Dead spell should have included the flexibility not only to make larger numbers of basic zombies and skeletons, but lower numbers of more powerful variants?   And the Crawling Claw is created by necromantic rituals... which no necromancer in the system knows according to RAW...   I hope the DMG has the rules for expanded undead creation, not to mention summoning abilities that cover demons and devils - or what is the point of Iggwilv's advice on how difficult demons can be...?   Finger's crossed!
