 It’s just me, or it’s not fair that a shaman cannot be a lord of undead? Let’s rectify that.

Spirit Specialization: Juju

Associated Spirit: Bones

Spirit Magic Spells: command undead (2nd), create undead (6th), create greater undead (8th)

Replacement Hex: The following bone spirit hexes replace the bone lock and deathly being hexes that a shaman can select from the bones spirit.

False Death (Su): Any creature under the effect of a spell with charm or dominate in its name that the shaman casts appears dead to any examiners. Although affected creatures do not detect as undead, they look pale and death-like while under the effects of the shaman’s magic, and are treated as undead for the purpose of being affected by other spells or effects. Additionally, an affected creature ordered to lie still gains a +20 circumstance bonus on Disguise skill checks to look like a corpse.

Spirit Vessels (Su): When using the animate dead spell, the shaman can control 6 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level rather than 4 HD. In addition, any zombies or juju zombies the shaman creates using animate dead, create undead, or similar spells possess maximum hit points.

Spirit Ability: The following spirit ability replaces the touch of the grave ability of the bones spirit.

Undead Servitude (Su): The shaman gains Command Undead as a bonus feat and can channel negative energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier, but only to use Command Undead. The shaman can take other feats to add to this ability, such as Improved Channeling, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Alignment Channel.
