Undead type

Undead Type Undead are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.

Features An undead creature has the following features.
 * 12-sided Hit Dice.
 * Base attack bonus equal to ½ total Hit Dice (as wizard).
 * Good Will saves.
 * Skill points equal to (4 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per Hit Die, with quadruple skill points for the first Hit Die, if the undead creature has an Intelligence score. However, many undead are mindless and gain no skill points or feats.

Traits An undead creature possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).
 * No Constitution score.
 * Darkvision out to 60 feet.

 * Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), as well as to fatigue and exhaustion effects.
 * Cannot heal damage on its own if it has no Intelligence score, although it can be healed. Negative energy (such as an inflict spell) can heal undead creatures. The fast healing special quality works regardless of the creature’s Intelligence score.
 * Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
 * Uses its Charisma modifier for Concentration checks.
 * Not at risk of death from massive damage, but when reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed.
