== Zombie Horde (CR 12) ==
A zombie horde is a thing of nightmares. It is a cluster of zombies working as a pack, wandering the countryside in a never-ending, never-sleeping quest to extinguish all life.  A zombie horde consists of approximately 16 to 20 zombies acting as a single fighting force.


It is not uncommon for numerous hordes to come together to travel in packs, and such a congregation is apocalyptic for nearby towns and cities. While an individual zombie is little more than a nuisance for a town's normal defenses, several zombie hordes converging on a town can overwhelm it in an hour or so, usually creating dozens or hundreds of new zombies in the process.

  <!-- NOTE: If type or subtype is "Troop", the space will default to 15 ft. + the normal space for the component creature size (e.g. 20 ft. for size medium) -->


; Troop Subtype (Ex)
| NudgeReach =
A troop is a collection of creatures that acts as a single creature, similar to a swarm, but typically as part of a military unit. A troop has the characteristics of its type, except as noted here. A troop has a single pool of Hit Dice and hit points, a single initiative modifier, a single speed, and a single armor class. A troop makes saving throws as a single creature. A single troop occupies a 20-foot-by-20-foot square, equal in size to a Gargantuan creature, though the actual size category of the troop is the same as that of the component creatures. A troop has a reach equal to that of the component creatures based on size or armament. A troop can move through squares occupied by enemies and vice versa without impediment, although the troop provokes an attack of opportunity if it does so. A troop can move through any area large enough for its component creatures unimpeded, but must end its move in a space large enough for its size or it is considered squeezing (-4 to hit, -4 to AC).
  <!-- Values: any positive or negative number, or leave blank. Max recommended is +/-2. This is number of SQUARES; will be converted to feet.     -->
  <!-- NOTE: If type or subtype is "Swarm", the reach will default to 0 ft.                                                                         -->
  <!-- NOTE: If type or subtype is "Troop", the reach will default to the normal reach for the component creature size (e.g. 5 ft. for size medium) -->


Unlike swarms, Troops can be critically hit and are subject to precision damage. Furthermore, troops do not have the swarm Distraction ability, though casting a spell while adjacent or inside of a troop requires a combat casting check.


Multiple troops can move into, stop and occupy spaces that other troops occupy without ever suffering from the squeezing rule. However, no more than two troops can inflict damage or effects on a single target in a single round.


See the [[Troop Traits]] page for details.
<!--  GENERAL ATTACK INFORMATION  -->


| MeleeOrNatural = Melee
  <!-- REQUIRED; Values: "Melee" (has ONLY a Primary attack), or "Natural" (has Pri and Sec attacks) -->


; Troop Attacks (Ex)
| MultipliedDamageType =
Similar to swarms, troops deal automatic damage to any creature within reach or whose space they occupy at the end of their move, with no attack roll needed. Damage Reduction sufficient to reduce a troop attack's damage to 0 or other special abilities can give a creature immunity (or at least resistance) to the troop's attacks. Troops threaten all creatures within their reach or within their area, and make attacks of opportunity (which auto-hit) with their troop attack.
  <!-- Roles only (leave blank if no role); Values: "Attacks" (+atks/rnd), "Damage" (+damage/rnd), or "Hybrid" (default; both +atks/+dmg) -->


Troop attacks still require a standard action or a full attack action to perform. Note that a troop's full attack is equal to the normal single attack damage for its CR, and it's standard attack is half the listed damage for its CR. This is to compensate for the auto-hit nature of the attacks. As with all creatures, a Troop's attacks of opportunity use the single melee listing.




; Spew (Ex)
<!--  PRIMARY ATTACK INFORMATION -->
As a standard action, the Zombie Horde can vomit out a glob of Virulent Spew, hitting a 10-foot radius area (4x4 squares) within 50 feet of the Zombie Horde. Creatures in the affected area must make a reflex save versus a DC of 21.  Those who fail the Reflex save take 6d6+1 Acid damage, and must also make a Fort save, DC 21, against Zombie Rot (see below).  Those who succeed on the Reflex save take only half this damage and do not need to make a Fort save against Zombie Rot.


| PriAtkName = Infectious Mauling
  <!-- name of primary attack, weapons or natural attacks (e.g. "Longsword" or "Bite") -->


; Zombie Rot (Su)
| PriAtkNotes = plus Zombie Rot, see below.
Any time a creature takes damage from a zombie horde, he must make a Fort save, DC 21, or contract the Zombie Rot disease. Onset is 1 day, frequency 1/day, effect 1d4 Con and 1d8+5 [[Non-Lethal Damage]], this damage cannot be mitigated by DR or other damage-reducing abilities, nor can it be healed while the creature is still infected. Cure requires 2 consecutive saves.
  <!-- add any specials (e.g. "as negative energy" or "plus filth fever (see below)", etc.) -->


Anyone who is reduced to a zero Constitution while infected rises as a zombie in 2d6 hours. There are no visible warning signs that this transition has occurred other than the ongoing sickness, until the zombie begins trying to eat all his nearby friends.
| PriAtkNotes-FullAtkOnly =
  <!-- use if Primary Attack does something different during a full attack; replaces PriAtkNotes value if not blank -->


Similarly, anyone killed by a zombie though damage will also rise as a zombie in 2d6 hours. If resurrection is cast on a zombie, it returns to life and is no longer a zombie.

  <!-- If to-hit goes against touch AC; Values: Y (for yes), or leave blank (for no) -->


| PriAtkIsAuto-Hit = Troop
  <!-- If attack has no to-hit roll; leave blank (for normal to-hits), or describe (e.g. "30-foot cone" or "swarm") -->


=== COMBAT TACTICS ===
| NudgePriToHit =  
Because they are mindless, zombie hordes will advance and attack, relying on their Mobility feat move into groups of enemies in order to engulf and get adjacent to as many opponents as possible.  If they can't reach any enemies with a single move, but enemies are in range of their Virulent Spew after a single move, they will use that instead of charging.
  <!-- Values: any positive or negative number, or leave blank. Max recommended is +/-4 -->


While quite large, zombie hordes can stack with themselves without impairment and can move through narrow gaps as needed, though only two hordes can attack a single opponent in a given round.  However, this lets hordes easily navigate narrow alleyways, or other closely confined spaces, and still bring their full might to bear against their enemies, as long as they end their move in a space large enough for their size (4x4, Gargantuan). 
| NudgePriDamage =
  <!-- Values: vhi (+4 CR's), hi (+2 CR's), lo (-2 CR's), vlo (-4 CR's), or leave blank -->


Zombie Hordes can move through enemy squares without restriction, though it does provoke attacks of opportunity to do so.  However, this lets the horde close with more foes, so they will do so whenever appropriate.  While a Zombie Horde will frequently provoke attacks of opportunity from its movement, note that it has the Mobility feat, and can only provoke once per enemy from any part of the horde's movement -- it is a single creature making a single move action, thus it can only provoke once. 
| NudgeFullAtkPriDamage = vhi
  <!-- Values: vhi (+4 CR's), hi (+2 CR's), lo (-2 CR's), vlo (-4 CR's), or leave blank -->


Remember that the horde attacks everyone it is sharing a square with AND everyone it is adjacent to. In addition, Zombie Hordes threaten all of their adjacent and internal squares, and they can make attacks of opportunity like traditional creatures.
| Nudge-Pri-Atk-Crit-Range =
  <!-- Values: the text of the crit range, without the crit multiplier (e.g. "18-20", no quotes). -->

| Ability-1-Description = As a standard action, the Zombie Horde can vomit out a horrifying shower of Virulent Spew, hitting a 10-foot radius area (4x4 squares) within 50 feet of the Zombie Horde. 
:Creatures in the affected area must make a reflex save versus a DC of {{#var:Special1SaveDC}}.  Those who fail the Reflex save take {{#var:Special1StandardDmg}} Acid damage, and must also make a Fort save, DC {{#var:Special1SaveDC}}, against Zombie Rot (see below).  Those who succeed on the Reflex save take only half this damage and do not need to make a Fort save against Zombie Rot.

:::: Fort DC {{#var:Special2SaveDC}}; frequency: 1/day for 3 days
:::: Effect: {{#var:Special2-Ability-Dmg}} STR damage per interval; Fruition: death (permanent), and victim becomes a zombie of the same type which caused the disease.
 
: There are no visible warning signs of the disease's fruition, other than the ongoing sickness, until the zombie begins trying to eat all his nearby friends.
 
: Similarly, anyone killed by a zombie through damage will also rise as a zombie in 2d6 hours.  If resurrection is cast on a zombie, it returns to life and is no longer a zombie.

Special Abilities

Virulent Spew (Ew)

As a standard action, the Zombie Horde can vomit out a horrifying shower of Virulent Spew, hitting a 10-foot radius area (4x4 squares) within 50 feet of the Zombie Horde.

Creatures in the affected area must make a reflex save versus a DC of . Those who fail the Reflex save take Acid damage, and must also make a Fort save, DC , against Zombie Rot (see below). Those who succeed on the Reflex save take only half this damage and do not need to make a Fort save against Zombie Rot.
Zombie Rot (Su)

Any time a creature is damaged by a zombie horde, he must make a Fort save, DC , or contract the Zombie Rot disease.

Zombie Rot (Injury vector; Diseased intensity)
Fort DC ; frequency: 1/day for 3 days
Effect: STR damage per interval; Fruition: death (permanent), and victim becomes a zombie of the same type which caused the disease.
There are no visible warning signs of the disease's fruition, other than the ongoing sickness, until the zombie begins trying to eat all his nearby friends.
Similarly, anyone killed by a zombie through damage will also rise as a zombie in 2d6 hours. If resurrection is cast on a zombie, it returns to life and is no longer a zombie.
Zombie Horde

Zombie Horde

A zombie horde is a thing of nightmares. It is a cluster of zombies working as a pack, wandering the countryside in a never-ending, never-sleeping quest to extinguish all life. A zombie horde consists of at least 16 to 20 zombies acting as a single fighting force, and can number much, much more.

It is not uncommon for several hordes to come together to travel in packs, and such a congregation is apocalyptic for nearby towns and cities. While an individual zombie is little more than a nuisance for a town's normal defenses, several zombie hordes converging on a town can overwhelm it in an hour or so, usually creating dozens or hundreds of new zombies in the process.

Combat Tactics

Because they are mindless, zombie hordes will advance and attack, relying on their Mobility feat to move into groups of enemies in order to engulf and get adjacent to as many opponents as possible. If they can't reach any enemies with a single move, but enemies are in range of their Virulent Spew after a single move, they will use that instead of charging.

While quite large, zombie hordes can stack with themselves without impairment and can move through narrow gaps as needed, though only two hordes can attack a single opponent in a given round. However, this lets hordes easily navigate narrow alleyways, or other closely confined spaces, and still bring their full might to bear against their enemies, as long as they end their move in a space large enough for their size (4x4, Gargantuan).
Zombie Hordes can move through enemy squares without restriction, though it does provoke attacks of opportunity to do so. However, this lets the horde close with more foes, so they will do so whenever appropriate. While a Zombie Horde will frequently provoke attacks of opportunity from its movement, note that it has the Mobility feat, and can only provoke once per enemy from any part of the horde's movement -- it is a single creature making a single move action, thus it can only provoke once.
Remember that the horde attacks and automatically hits everyone it is sharing a square with AND everyone it is adjacent to. In addition, Zombie Hordes threaten all of their adjacent and internal squares, and they can make attacks of opportunity like traditional creatures. Lastly, every time they inflict damage, it forces a saving throw versus their Zombie Rot.
Bleagh.

Out of Combat

Immortal (Su)

Zombies cannot be killed through normal means. However, zombies may lie shattered and dormant after being defeated for months or even years before their bodies recompose and they once again rise to seek and consume the flesh of the living. Sanctify Corpse (Spell), Consecrate (Spell) or Gentle Repose (Spell) will add a year and a day to the time it takes for a zombie to re-compose. Resurrection (Spell) will bring the person associated with the zombie's corpse back to life, destroying the necromantic bond on its corpse.

In the case of Zombie Hordes, one such spell will affect all the componenets of the horde.
