Animate Dead by Touch

Three times per day, the necromancer can cause skeletons and zombies of humans, demihumans, or humanoids to arise with but a mere touch. These mindless undead can serve the necromancer during the same round in which they were animated. Two skeletons or one zombie can be animated per level of the wizard. The remains of larger creatures can be animated, though they only fight as if they possessed 2 hit dice. In most other respects, this power functions similar to the 5th-level spell animate dead.
