Xp Animate Dead

This spell creates an undead servant or servants worth a combined total of 50xp. An undead creature worth less than 50xp cannot attack. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the GM has the creature’s game statistics). You can also select to raise a different creature with an XP value of 50 or less, which becomes a Zombie or skeleton subject to the template below.

A corpse becomes an undead under your control. An unremarkable humanoid corpse automatically becomes a standard form of the selected undead, costing its usual cost (for instance a zombie has an XP value of 50), but more remarkable humanoids and other types of creatures can retain some abilities in their undead form, and thus cost their own XP value if it is greater than the typical form of undead.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any undead creature you animated if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures.

Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over 200xp worth of creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating new ones.

Casting this spell on the same corpse once a day for 4 days allows you to instead raise a corpse with an XP value of up to 150xp greater than the 50xp. This allows you to raise and control more individually powerful creatures, such as a Zombie Brown Bear (XP value of 200xp)

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over an additional 100xp worth of creature for each slot above 3rd.
