Undead are once-living beings that come in many shapes and forms, corporeal and incorporeal, sentient as well as non-sentient. Undead may be created by magic, or undeath may be bestowed as a curse and punishment by a Power. Some Undead even rise under their own will.

Aura of Evil
Ghoul Lords emanate evil like a bad odour and all those of good alignment suffer a −4 penalty on all attack rolls when within 30 feet of these creatures. A Remove Fear spell will negate the effects of this foul aura.
Aura of Fear, Banshee
The mere sight of a Banshee causes fear, unless a saving throw versus spell is made. Those affected must flee for 10 rounds.
Aura of Fear, Death Knight
Death Knights constantly radiate fear in a 5-foot radius. Those who fail a save versus spell are overcome and flee. The effects last for 4 rounds.
Aura of Fear, Mummy
The mere sight of a Mummy causes such terror in any creature that a saving throw versus spell must be made or the victim becomes paralyzed with fright for 2 rounds. Humans save against mummies with a bonus of +2.
Aura of Fear, Greater Mummy
Greater Mummies radiate an Aura of Fear that causes every creature who see them to become rigid with terror and unable to move unless they successfully save versus spell at a penalty of −3. The effects last for 4 rounds.
Aura of Fear, Skeleton Warrior
The mere sight of a Skeleton Warrior causes any creature with fewer than 5 hit dice to flee in panic.
Death Wail
Any creature within 30 feet of a Wailing Banshee must save versus death or be instantly slain, their face distorted in horror. A Banshee may wail only once per day and then only at night.
Disease, Ghoul Lord
The bite of a Ghoul Lord causes the victim to contract a horrible rotting disease unless a save versus poison is made. Those affected by this illness will lose 5 hit points and 1 point from their Constitution and Charisma score every hour.
Disease, Mummy
The scabrous touch of a Mummy infects the victim with a rotting disease which is fatal in 6 days. As the disease progresses it causes the victim to lose 2 points of Charisma per day. Cure Wounds spells have no effect on a person infected with mummy rot. Any person killed by mummy rot cannot be raised from the dead.
Disease, Greater Mummy
Anyone struck by the Greater Mummy's attack becomes infected with a horrible rotting disease that is even more sinister than that of normal mummies, for it manifests itself in a matter of hours instead of days and is fatal in a single day. For every four hours the disease goes untreated, the victim loses 2 points of Charisma and 1 point each of Strength and Constitution. The disease causes the person to die within a short time unless the proper medical care can be obtained. No normal healing is possible while the disease is spreading through the body and the shakings and convulsions that accompany it make spell casting impossible.
Disease, Sea Zombie
The putrid water that drips from Sea Zombies contains many bacteria, so any successful hit has a 10 % chance of causing a severe disease in the victim. After an incubation time of 8 hours, those affected have their Strength and Constitution decreased by 1 point.
Disgusting Visage
The visage and stench of decay that surrounds Sea Zombies are so disgusting that anyone seeing a Sea Zombie or coming within 20 feet of one must roll a saving throw versus poison. A failed saving throw indicates that the character is nauseated, suffering a −1 penalty to his attack roll and a +1 penalty to his AC for 5 rounds.
Paralysis, Ghast
Ghasts share the ghoulish ability, to paralyze with a touch, and their attack is so potent that it will even affect elves. This effect lasts 7 rounds.
Paralysis, Ghoul and Lacedon
The touch of a Ghoul or Lacedon causes humanoids to become rigid for 5 rounds unless a saving throw versus paralyzation is successful. Elves are immune to this paralysis.
Paralysis, Ghoul Lord
Those hit by the Ghoul Lord's claws must save versus paralyzation or be unable to move for 9 rounds. Even elves are not immune to this effect.
Putrid Presence
Ghasts exude a carrion stench in a 10-feet radius which causes retching and nausea unless a saving throw versus poison is made. Those failing this save will attack at a penalty of −2.
Hover
This ability is available to a creature that can fly with either perfect or near perfect maneuverability. The creature can halt its movement while flying, allowing it to hover. This effectively prevents ground-based spells such as Earthquake, Entangle, Grease and Web from affecting the creature. Furthermore, creatures with this ability can cross lava and acid pools without taking damage by hovering above them.
Skeletal Traits
Skeletal undead suffer no damage from cold-based attacks. The fact they are mostly empty means that edged or piercing weapons inflict only half damage.
Undead Traits
Undead are completely immune to charm, sleep, paralysis, poison, disease, stun, fear, negative energy, petrification, the effects of fatigue and death magic.
Wall of Ice
The casting of this spell causes a horizontal sheet of ice to appear above the designated area. The sheet immediately falls down, crumbling into ice blocks, which inflict 2d10 points of cold damage and 1d10 points of crushing damage upon any creatures within a 40 foot radius.
