Unhallowed Minion

A LA+0 Template to make intelligent but weak minions that explode when they disobey you.

The Unhallowed Minion is a unique creature, not very strong, but smarter than many lesser undead. Unlike other lesser undead, who are completely mindless, the Unhallowed Minions have an average intelligence. This means that they can be given more complex commands. A Unhallowed Minion's appearance varies, and they can look like Skeletons, Zombies or even NecropoliticiansLM. Their appearance does not affect the Unhallowed Minion in any mechanical way.

Creating a Unhallowed Minion

A Pseudo-Undead is created with the Create Undead spell.

Size and Type

The creature’s type changes to Undead.Size is unchanged.

Hit Dice

Increase all current and future hit dice to d12.

Special Qualities

Undying Loyalty (Su): Unhallowed Minions were created to be intelligent minions, and unlike mindless undead, if they were left unchecked, might defect. If the creator of the undead has the Leadership or Undead LeadershipLM and chooses to have the Unhallowed Minion as one of his followers, the creator shares a minor mental link with the follower. If the Unhallowed Minion has plans to carry out an act of betrayal on his creator (not just simply thinking about it) in any way, the creator instantly knows which Unhallowed Minion was planning it, and how severe of a betrayal it was. An example of a minor betrayal would be taking an extra 10 minutes off on his cigarette break* or killing the human slaves without permission, and a major betrayal would be something like attempting to defect or hitting on the creator's girlfriend.

Remote-Destruction (Su): If the Pseudo-Undead has a mental link with its creator via Undying Loyalty, and if it’s going to betray its creator, or if its creator is simply bored, he can, as a standard action, cause one of his Pseudo-Undead to explode, bringing him to 0 HP (or -10, if the Pseudo-Undead dies like a living creature). If the Pseudo-Undead was killed in response of him betraying his creator, the creator does not gain a penalty to his leadership score for causing the death of his followers.

Necrotic Sacrifice (Su): Whenever an Unhallowed Minion is destroyed, he explodes in a burst of negative energy. As an immediate action after the Unhallowed Minion is destroyed, everyone within 10 feet of the Unhallowed Minion is hit with 1d6 Negative Energy damage. For every 2 HD after their first, the Unhallowed Minion's Necrotic Sacrifice increases by 1d6 (So a Necrotic Minion with 3 HD deals 2d6, 5 HD deals 3d6, and so on and so forth). No matter how many Unhallowed Minions die within one round, a creature cannot be affected by Necrotic Sacrifice more than once per round (When a creature is within 10 feet of multiple exploding Unhallowed Minions, use the Unhallowed Minion with the highest HD to determine how many d6's are used.

It Sucks To Be Me (lol): All Unhallowed Minions are aware of this their Special Qualities, and because of this, 90% of all insubordination attempts never happen.

*I don't care about the fact that Undead don't breathe. Vampires in Buffy the Vampire Slayer could smoke cigarettes, but couldn't give mouth to mouth resuscitation, but you could see their breath (that supposedly doesn't exist) when it's cold outside.
