[edit] Undead

This article needs an image. If you are an artist, or know of any image that would fit this article, please upload a picture and add it. More information...

Undead humanoids are those who have had their soul returned to their bodies after they have died. As such, they are far from mindless, but they still aren't living. While their soul has been returned, their bodies are still dead, resulting in what some consider a form of lesser lich.

[edit] Creating an Undead

This is an aquired template that can be applied to humanoids (referred to hereafter as the base creature).

[edit] Size and Type

Size does not change.

[edit] Hit Dice

All future and current HD change to d12. Do not drop HD attained from class.

[edit] Speed

Speed does not change

[edit] Armor Class

Natural armor bonus increases by a number based on the Undead’s size:

Tiny or smaller +0, Small +1, Medium +2, Large +3, Huge +4, Gargantuan +7, Colossal +11

[edit] Attack

Attacks: An Undead retains all the natural weapons, manufactured weapon attacks, and weapon proficiencies of the base creature. A creature with hands gains one claw attack per hand; the Undead can strike with each of its claw attacks at its full attack bonus.

[edit] Damage

Claw attacks deal damage based on size.

Fine:1 Dimunitive:1d2 Tiny:1d3 Small:1d4 Medium:1d6 Large:1d8 Huge:1d10 Gargantuan:2d6 Colossal:2d8

[edit] Full Attack

If the base creature uses a manufactured weapon, it uses the weapon. If it has a free hand, it uses a claw attack as a secondary natural attack.
