Zombie
Zombie (CR 2)
Zombies are corpses of the (fairly) recently dead, brought back to unlife through necromantic ritual, having been killed by other zombies, or dying on desecrated ground. They have no intelligence, and are driven only by a need to consume the living. While brains may be extra tasty, zombies are happy to eat any living (or recently dead) flesh. Indeed, all but the freshest zombies show extensive bite wounds from being near other zombies (or even themselves).
Zombies are attracted to sounds, but can sense life when it is nearby. Once attracted, zombies will never stop trying to kill and eat their prey.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
- Sense Life
A zombie can sense life within 30 feet, and once detected, are unshakably persistent stalkers.
- Staggered
Zombies have the Staggered condition. They can take only a single standard action per round, though they may convert that to a move action instead of attacking or taking another action.
- Relentless Hunger
Despite being slow-moving, shambling eaters of life, zombies have an unnerving knack for catching their prey. Any time a zombie has come within 30 feet of a living being, but that being has moved out of sight of the zombie, the zombie may teleport as a standard action to the nearest space to that victim that the victim cannot see. Because the zombie is Staggered, this ability may never be used more than once per round, and once done, the zombie can take no other actions this round.
- Zombie Rot
Any time a creature is bitten by a zombie, he must make a Fort save, DC 12, or contract the Zombie Rot disease. Onset is 1d4 days, frequency 1/day, effect 1d2 Con, this damage cannot be healed while the creature is still infected. Cure requires 2 consecutive saves.
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.
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.
- Immortal
Zombies cannot be killed. However, zombies may lie shattered and dormant after being defeated for days or even weeks before rising again to seek to consume the flesh of the living.
