Questions[edit]
what happens if a lv 14 human wizard PC uses this spell to make a copy of himself? does the simulacra created have PC levels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azerinth (talk • contribs) at
- As written, yes, you'd create a lvl 7 wizard simalcrum.--Tavis McCricket 18:15, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
'nother question. let's say that that lv14 human wizard died and is turned into a zombie, and then later a piece of the zombie's body is used as the material component for this spell. would the resulting simulacrum mimic a lv 7 human wizard, or would the simulacrum created mimic the zombie the wizard's corpse was at the time the piece was taken from him?--Azerinth 22:03, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Firstly, a zombie has twice the hit dice of the base creature, ignoring class levels. So, a zombie of a 14th level human wizard would have two hit dice. Secondly, a simalcrum has half the hit dice of the creature it copies. So the simalcrum of a human zombie (if that's even viable) would have a single hit die. Thirdly, if zombie flesh is the base component, then IMO, a zombie is what you get.--Tavis McCricket 00:48, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

- Good question.
