Cauldron of the DeadSource Ultimate Equipment pg. 287, Advanced Player's Guide pg. 303
Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th
Slot none; Price 30,000 gp; Weight 35 lbs.DescriptionThis cauldron of dark iron is large enough to accommodate a
single Medium creature. When filled with a mixture of water
and rare herbs, the cauldron transforms any dead body placed
in it into a zombie as if animated by an animate dead spell.
Each corpse animated uses up 25 gp in materials per Hit Die,
and the cauldron can animate one corpse per round. The user
of the cauldron commands the undead so created—up to 12
HD worth, unless the user can cast the animate dead spell, in
which case that spell’s limit is used; animating more beyond
this limit causes earlier specimens to become uncontrolled.
ConstructionRequirements Craft Wondrous Item, animate dead; Cost 15,000 gp
