MET LARP SRD

Few things are more capable of striking fear into the heart of the enemy as a legion of undead bearing down on them. Though this ancient ritual was once commonly used as a final option in times of discord, it has rarely seen use in modern nights due to the severe damage to the Masquerade that it inevitably inflicts.

This ritual draws the discarded remnants of dead bodies that decomposed in the nearby area to provide a supply of vessels for reanimation. To perform this ritual, you must prepare a true corpse by force feeding it food from a funeral repast until its stomach is full. The corpse must then be reanimated using Shambling Hordes (see MET VTM, Chapter Four: Disciplines, page 175). The zombie is then buried as 3 points of your Blood is spread around the area.

One hour later, a number of zombies equal to three times your Occult score will erupt from the consecrated earth. This legion of creatures is composed of 3-point Stock NPCs that act with one mind. The horde will follow simple commands, and functions as a group. For example, you cannot command half of your horde to follow one enemy and half to follow the other. If powers are used to enhance the legion, it may only have a single instance of a power in effect as if the legion were a single target; the legion may not have multiple applications of the same effect or have effects that only target some of the zombies.

All of the zombies are created by summoning remnants of decomposed corpses from the area. This results in a wave of creatures that are unclothed, patchworked together from multiple parts, and appear to be utterly nondescript people. Should one be killed, the creature crumbles to the ground and turns to ash.

The legion does not count against your limit of zombies based on your Occult skill level. A necromancer may only summon one legion within a lunar cycle. At sunrise, any zombies created by this power immediately crumble into dust.
