How do you handle the Zombie-spell? What exactly does control of a
Zombie mean? When i apply the Zombietemplate to a subject, the IQ of
most animals is reduced to 0. In which way can they be controled? Can
they follow simple instructions or are they useless?

I have allowed the mage to give verbal instructions that are up to the
Zombies IQ squared long. This means that a zombie-animal with IQ of
zero (or less...) can not understand even one-word commands. These will
either just stand where they are, or follow their master (50% chance
for either). If they can be physically walked through a pattern of
movement they will repeat that action endlessly (or at least untill
they fall appart too much to do it).

Note, I have only the third edition materials, and there Zombie spell
reduced the IQ of the subject with 2, and only insects have such low
IQ. Is the IQ-reduction greater in the 4th edition?

yup, that's what I've been using for all Zombies where ever they've
appeared, and it's been working quite well. Of course, I've on occation
been quite liberal in the interpretation of the orders given.
For example, a zombiefied alligator (final IQ 1) was given the command
"guard" while in a hallway, making the zombie-alligator guard the
hallway (from -everyone- except it's master). That same alligator was
later given the command "protect" (ie, protect the master).
However, I would say that normally the lower the intelligence of the
creature, the more litteral the interpretation.

no. but one of my players wanted to animate giant bugs.

so it is iq squared words? i guess i will use that. maybe i will let
those beetles just follow their master and on a successful check from
the master (maybe thaumaturgy or will or zombie spell) they will
understand a single word command.
