Oh, hehe. Won't count on that one then.

Actually, it can be changed. The pale master animate undead ability is controlled by the script x2_s2_sumundead and summon greater undead is defined by x2_s2_sumgrund. Changing the creatures summoned is easy enough, however custom creatures would have to be made to replace the standard ones and that would be a lot of work. I don't see that happening either.

Very few of the class abilities are hardcoded and they can be modified via scripting. This is true for the summoning class feats and many other special abilities. Even something like bardsong could be modified if there was a reason to do so, that is.
