Welcome
Danse Macabre in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Replacement Series
Danse Macabre
5-level Necromancy
Your shadow splits, reaching out and reanimating up to five Tiny, Small or Medium corpses of challenge rating 1/4 or higher that you can see within range. Each corpse immediately transforms into an undead creature of the same size, which takes your choice of form (Skeleton or Zombie) using the Corpse Puppet stat block below.
The puppets are allies to you and your companions. In combat, they share your initiative count, but take their turns immediately after yours. As a bonus action, you can issue one command to any number of puppets within the spell's range. If you don't issue a command, they take the Dodge action and use their move to avoid danger.
The puppets are under your control until the spell ends, after which they become inanimate once more.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell 6th level or higher, you animate up to two additional corpses for each level above 5th.
