    When I would summon undead, I had mean creatures, level 12, that had 2 attacks per turn. All of a sudden, as I become 'nicer', they are level 3, and can only attack one time, per turn.

    Waaa happened?

    Remember Necromantic Black spells are evil. If you are not evil you will not be able to 'find it in your heart' to cast a truly evil spell. Hence weaker zombies.

    They can be affective though. They take out loads of fatigue damage on their target.

    I started as evil, but I felt bad for people so I started doing stuff for them.
    Even in role playing, I am still a nice guy.

    I am not at all sure that alignment has any effect on spell casting. If Black Necromancy was alignment dependant, Harm would be weaker for good characters- which is not at all the case. Try checking out your MA before you cast summoning spells. It is possible that there are factors affecting your MA that you have overlooked- like what ground you're standing on when you're casting spells.

    Evil or good.... I think those thing are not making your summon undead spell stronger or weaker,..it is only MA.
