Undead are deceased bodies, usually of humans, brought back to life by Necromancy to serve a specific purpose.
They are most commonly encountered in ancient ruins, where magical artifacts left behind by the Tolgethics sustain their life force for tens of thousands of years. The skills and abilities of an undead reflect its skills from its past life. Some undead appear with rotten flesh and gray, decayed skin, while others are simply bare skeletons.
Undead do not appear to users of life detection spells, but can be seen by magic detection and by spells designed to detect undead or death.
Undead creatures are damaged by magical healing effects such as those of the school of Restoration, and are healed by Necrotic damage. (The amount of healing or damage becomes the same amount of the opposite effect.) Other types of damage and non-magical healing work normally against undead.
