Undead type
Undead are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces.
Features[edit]
An undead creature has the following features (mostly PnP information, not relevant to DDO).
- 12-sided Hit Dice.
- Base attack bonus equal to ½ total Hit Dice (as wizard).
- Good Will saves, poor reflex saves, very poor fort saves due to having no con score.
- 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.
- Usually evil alignment. Only known exception is Cholthulzz.
