Don't worry, it's ok..:)

What's the difference between number() and range(), I have seen both and
thought range() was more appropiate.

Could be... I'd like it more to have a mob created with the name of the
corpse (and the corpse to be extracted, obviously), and there should be a
high chance of the animated dead becoming a follower of the caster.

I am not sure if this can be done, but maybe the range of mobs could be
only templates (to account for stats) and the actual description of the
mob could be whipped up in the moment of animating the corpse...

Is this feasible?
