Karrnathi Elite Zombie (3.5e Creature)
A zombie clad in well-crafted half-plate lumbers toward you, brandishing a longsword. The soldier’s rotting flesh looks like it has been well preserved, and its dead eye sockets glare menacingly with a bright red glow.

A Karrnathi elite zombie looks like an ordinary karrnathi zombie. However, it has been infused with unholy energies from the plane of Mabar to increase its speed and toughness.
Karrnathis elite zombies are created from the remains of elite Karrnathis soldiers slain in battle on the night of a full moon. It is said that a grave hunter from the plane of Mabar has helped in the creation of these unholy troops.
Combat
Unlike mindless zombies, Karrnathi elite zombies fight intelligently, using tactics such as flanking, aiding another, and fighting defensively. They fight fearlessly and relentlessly until destroyed. Karrnathi elite zombies can run.
Karrnathis elite zombie archers carry a composite longbow (+2 Str bonus) in addition to their dual sword and shield and have the Point Blank Shot feat instead of the Weapon Focus (Longsword) feat.
Unholy Toughness (Ex): A karrnathi elite zombie gains a bonus to its hit points equal to its Charisma modifier X its Hit Dice.
Unholy Grace (Su): A karrnathi elite zombie adds its Charisma modifier as a bonus on all its saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to its Armor Class.
Unholy Power (Su): A karnnathi elite zombie adds its Charisma modifier as a luck bonus to its melee attack and damage roles.
