Alternative to the Strahd Zombie
Hi all, I'd like help with switching up the Strahd Zombie into something a little more 'martial'.
In my upcoming CoS campaign I'm having Strahd amass an army of undead. The Heart of Sorrow is actually a dimensional corkscrew that's about to rip a hole out of the Domain and Strahd wants to be prepared to make himself a new nation as soon as possible. Additional changes to the campaign is the proliferation of gunpowder and 'renaissance' firearms in Berovia.
So I can't see zombie fusiliers in a line with flintlock rifles without some changes to stats, but I'm not apposed, if anyone has an idea... Alternatively what about a play off the old Strahd Zombie ability of loosing limbs but instead a packet of gunpowder is set off?
Anybody have any notions?
