If Proposal: You Too Can Be A Necromancer! was not enacted then this proposal has no further effect.
Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Shamblers:
Central to the art of Necromancy is the skill to reanimate corpses.
A Cohort is made up of Shamblers, which may be Skeletons, Zombies or Ghouls. Each Necromancer has a Cohort, which is publicly tracked and which may be expressed in the form ‘xS, yZ, zG’, where x, y and z are numbers, referring to the number of Skeletons, Zombies and Ghouls in that Necromancer’s Cohort, respectively.
As a daily action, a Necromancer may spend 5 Mana to Reanimante a Corpse. Reanimating a Corpse is an atomic action with the following steps:
* If your current location has no Corpses, this action ends with no further effect;
* Reduce the number of Corpses in this location by 1;
* Generate the age of the Corpse by rolling DICE100. If the Corpse’s age is 40 or over, then the Corpse is Reanimated as a Skeleton. Otherwise, generate its malevolence by rolling DICE8; if the result is lower than 6 then the Corpse is Reanimated as a Zombie, and if it is not then it is Reanimated as a Ghoul;
* Add the resulting Shambler to your Cohort.
In the rule Locations, change ‘Each Location has Effects’ to ‘Each Location has Effects, and may also have a number of Corpses’, and give Tower zero Corpses. Add a new Location as follows:
| Graveyard || When roling a dice in a Reanimate Corpses action, may treat a single dice roll as if the result were one greater or lower. As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location by 10. || 10

Minor spelling nit: “Nercomancer”
Are x, y, and z meant to be able to go negative, since they are defined as integers and not numbers? We’ve had this debate before about whether or not stating “integers” is giving a variable a set of valid values.
