Create Greater Undead (Alpha)

A much more potent spell than animate dead, this spell allows you to create more powerful sorts of undead (see the Monster Manual for more information on all types of undead available to you; other sources may be allowed based at DM discretion). The type or types of undead you can create is based on your spell slot level, as shown on the table below.

Slot Level        Undead CR

5th                    CR1 and below

6th                    CR2 and below

7th                    CR3 and below

8th                    CR4 and below

9th                    CR5 and below

Created undead are not automatically under the control of their animator. If the Intelligence of the Undead is 10 or higher, the creature may make a Wisdom Save of your Spell DC to fight your influence. If it succeeds, it is not under your control and you will have to reassert your will on it by casting this spell again with the corrosponding spell slot, forcing the creature to reattempt the saving throw.
