----- Tactics ----- The Grave-Walker:
- Pre-Combat: She casts False Life (+1d10+10 HP) and Antilife Shell if she expects living melee attackers. She drinks her Potion of Barkskin.
- Minion Shield: She commands her skeletal champions (via Animate Dead) to form a wall. She casts Bone Fists to boost their AC and damage.
- The Touch of Death: She uses her Rod of Reach to cast Harm or Slay Living from 30 feet away.
- Harm: Deals 130 damage (Will DC 24 half). This cannot reduce target below 1 HP, but effectively ends the fight.
- Slay Living: Deals 12d6+13 damage. If they succeed on the save, they still take 3d6+13.
- Spirit Walk: If cornered or needing to bypass a wall, she activates Spirit Walk, becoming Incorporeal for 13 rounds. She can move through objects and takes no damage from non-magical weapons (50% from magical).

Build Notes (52 HD of undead)
- Undead Servitude: She gains Command Undead as a bonus feat. She can take control of enemy undead (Will DC 23) rather than fighting them.
- Spirit Walk: She can become incorporeal for 1 round/level. This is her ultimate escape or infiltration tool.
- Soul Siphon: A ranged touch attack that inflicts a negative level. Great for debuffing the "Boss" of the player party (lowering their saves and attack rolls).
- Curse (Wasting): Her body is slowly rotting or turning to stone. This grants her immunity to the Sickened condition, which is a common debuff players use.
