This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Unbreakable is handled rather clumsily - recommend using the same mechanic as Warforged.

[edit] Physical Qualities
Undead appear just as they did in life: standing as tall as they once did, their eyes appear dead and lifeless. They move in quick jerks and shambles, as well as have pale skin with a terrible odor.
[edit] Playing an Undead
Playing an undead is a second life full of bigotry, since you are constantly hated. You are the unbiased enemy of the divine, while they scorn your existence none send the fleet of her followers more than the raven queen. To encounter a worshiper of the Raven Queen is, without question, an instant fight to the death. Although undead usually have villages or city's mainly comprised of their own, they sometimes find a person that is tolerant enough to be accepted.
Human Undead Characteristics: Undead are brash, impulsive, recluse, off-putting, and reckless. Undead are respected by fighters and barbarians for their bold, brave with a fighting spirit that seems almost devoid of reason on the battlefield. Ally's of undead are usually those of similar nature (fighters & barbarians), or polar opposites (bards & wizards). Reason for this is strictly in combat tactics. Divine classes will almost always refuse partnership with an undead, but when it is done, it can prove to be quite deadly.
Names: Most undead would keep the name they were given in life, yet others may want to start over in which case they give themselves a name that represents their new nature.
[edit] Undead Adventurers
Undead adventures are usually comprised of finding out their purpose in reanimation. Undead who lean towards the path of good can become powerful, however they tend to follow the path of a warrior instead. They find themselves being more greedy and worried about material possessions than they were in life, due to the fact that hunger is their primary thought pattern. This does not only apply to foods: they find themselves wanting anything that others have. They usually are found in dungeons said to have great wealth.
Three sample undead adventurers are described below (not really).
