Possessing no special spells, maneuvers or tricks, combating zombies is a simple and relatively safe endeavor. With a fairly slow movement speed, players can stance dance for one to two swings, and casters may safely bolt or channel up to three spells from offensive without risk. Being that they are undead (and of course, capable of sheer fear), a bless is required for weapon based combat, and they are immune to standard stuns. They are also able to break out of [[Web (118)|webs]]. The only lingering risk when engaging zombies is a small chance of being [[diseased]] if they successfully hit you with a melee attack. The roll for whether or not this happens is invisible.

Zombie skin is equivalent to Brigandine Armor (ASG 12) in terms of toughness.

Also of note, Zombies do appear to be weak to fire based attacks. Using an unattuned version of Chromatic Circle you can see this effect. Casts with a fire effect are vastly more effective than the others.

Pity the poor zombie, an animated corpse abandoned long ago by her creator. The skin of the zombie has turned a sickly grey, her clothing hangs in tattered ribbons, and she barely keeps control over her death-stiffened muscles. Her mouth, once sewn shut to hold the salt necessary in the animation process, has broken open again, salt dribbling from the parched, thread-covered lips. The zombie verbally threatens and attacks anyone she believes may interfere with her quest to return to the grave.

Hunting strategies

Possessing no special spells, maneuvers or tricks, combating zombies is a simple and relatively safe endeavor. With a fairly slow movement speed, players can stance dance for one to two swings, and casters may safely bolt or channel up to three spells from offensive without risk. Being that they are undead (and of course, capable of sheer fear), a bless is required for weapon based combat, and they are immune to standard stuns. They are also able to break out of webs. The only lingering risk when engaging zombies is a small chance of being diseased if they successfully hit you with a melee attack. The roll for whether this happens or not appears to be a warding check.

Zombie skin is equivalent to Brigandine Armor (ASG 12) in terms of toughness.

Also of note, Zombies do appear to be weak to fire based attacks. Using an unattuned version of Chromatic Circle you can see this effect. Casts with a fire effect are vastly more effective than the others.
