Type: Necromantic
Source: Dragon #312
By carving or scribing runes of death and destruction on a skeleton or zombie before animation, you infuse it with an unstable mote of necromantic energy. When the resulting undead creature is destroyed, this energy is unleashed in a small explosion.
Benefit: A skeleton or zombie created with this feat detonates upon destruction, dealing id3 points of damage per Hit Die (minimum 1d3) to every creature within a 10-foot spread. A DC 15 Reflex save halves this damage.
Scribing the proper runes upon each skeleton or corpse requires one day of work and 25 gp worth of material components. For the purpose of control, treat the resulting creature as having 2 more Hit Dice than it actually does.
