==Description==
You can [[summon]] [[undead]] skeletons or zombies with your infernal power. This invocation lasts 1 hour per level.
The type of undead created is dependent on your [[warlock]] level and upgrades at 12 and 21:

*Skeleton: 7 HD, 10 HD, 16 HD (offensive mix of Undead/Fighter)
*Zombie: 9 HD, 13 HD, 19 HD (defensive mix of Undead/Fighter)

Furthermore they can be improved by taking the Ability Focus - Invocations feat.

==Bug Notes==
Like the equivalent [[Animate Dead]] spell, this invocation leaves much to be desired. The summoned undead is not really better then a level 1 fighter. Even the skeleton warrior (summoned at level 10+) has poor equipment, low hit points and statistics; it is a level 3 Undead, with single attack at +2 to hit, which is unlikely to hit many creatures at level 10.

As of 7/29/2010 with OC and MoTB installed and the current patches. The summons are a bit improved over the description. You should have a Skeleton Warrior with 8 levels of Warlock. Haven't tested how is scales from there, however. The minion is pretty good for a level 8 Caster and you get an unlimited supply.

Also, this is not a direct attack. It, therefore, does not break the invisibility of Walk Unseen.
