Minionise [Major] by Iczer

'arise my friend. In death, may you adopt the grace you did not possess when among the living'

The character can reanimate the dead. as potent an ability as this is, it comes with several caveats. The body must be whole. it can have wounds, even grievous ones. But it cannot be missing a head. The dead body does not rot, but it does not repair itself upon resurrection. The body can be dead no longer than 30 days.
The newly risen creature is a walking corpse, held animate by the character's power and as such it has a few limitations to its new life. It will last one week. After that it begins to feel a craving for its creators presence. after one week without being within 30 feet of its creator it begins withdrawal (roll for withdrawal as if it were recovering from drug addiction). It cannot eat, and as a corpse it is pretty cold. the character's power keeps it from rotting, but it cannot heal either. As a corpse it need not breathe either and is pretty much immune to deprivation in all its forms. If the character so wishes it, he can simply stop maintaining the target's power supply, either killing it, or denying it from recovery during its withdrawal.
A newly risen corpse has 50 SDC. as the undead it is immune to critical hits, and any thing that can only affect the living. it has the attributes it had in life, but it lacks most non physical powers. it enjoys a +6 to PS.
A newly risen corpse is free willed, but it has half normal ME and a -4 to IQ and MA. It can be coerced by the creator to serve it, usually by the threat of re-death or regular power starvation. The character can maintain a 'posse' of 3 minions per level. A minion must be destroyed, or willfully slain for the character to make more (minions that are in withdrawal but not slain count toward this total).
