X (Battle) Action “Rally a corpse into a Marionette”
Declare any dead body within 9 paces of you. The body must not have been Overkilled.
Roll your Will, Leadership, & 2d6 vs. 3d6. If you are successful, the corpse becomes a Hurt, Injured Marionette under your control. If the body is still fresh, treat it as a Typical Zombie; if the body is nothing but bones, treat it as a Typical Skeleton. (You may also use your ability to unleash undead to turn the animated corpse into a Berserk monsters – in which case, you no longer control it.)
After five minutes, the body returns to lifelessness.
