Base Class: Wizard
You have delved deep into the dark and gruesome arts of necromancy. With this new knowledge you have learned to create a powerful undead companion called a thrall. There are three type of thrall, each with various abilities, the Zombie, the Skeleton, and the Shadow. As grow stronger so will your thrall.
Undead Thrall
You magically summon an undead thrall, which draws strength from your bond with the Shadowfell. The thrall is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block-Zombie Thrall, Skeleton Thrall, or Shadow Thrall-which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You also determine the appearance of the thrall. It does not necessarily need to be humanoid.
In combat, the thrall acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the thrall to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the thrall can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the thrall has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The thrall returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different undead thrall. The new thrall appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block and appearance. If you already have a thrall from this feature, it vanishes when the new thrall appears. The thrall also vanishes if you die.

Posted Jan 17, 2023Hello, I was wondering how you added the monster stat block to the subclass and if I would be able to borrow it as I like the way they work but I would like to tweak them along with the subclass as it feels like it’s missing something?
