Description:
Zombies are corpses reanimated through dark and sinister magic. These mindless automatons shamble about, doing their creator's bidding without fear or hesitation. Zombies are not pleasant to look upon. Drawn from their graves, half-decayed and partially consumed by worms, they wear the tattered remains of their burial clothes. A rank odor of death hangs heavy in the air around them.
Spellstitched creatures are undead creatures that have been powerfully enhanced and fortified by arcane means. The undead gain the ability to cast spells, can resist being turned, and become more difficult to attack in melee. The process benefits undead with intelligence far more than it helps those that are mindless, since intelligent undead can discharge their spells tactically. The outward sign that a creature has been spellstitched is its rune-covered body. The runes are carved into the bones of skeletal undead or tatooed on the rotting flesh of other corporeal undead.
