What other drawbacks are there? Hmm... Besides the weak 7th-level creature, I can't think of anything else! Honestly. But they still exist! It's a pity...
If we consider as a drawback the fact that the stats of the undead warriors were reduced, then... But what really pleased me was the addition of a 1st-level archer (it was sorely lacking), and the improvement of the long-forgotten weak dragon and lich-sorcerer. =)
