Undead race

Race undead

Undead -- the general class of unquiet dead: skeletons, zombies, vampires, liches, ghosts, and other violators of funeral rites. The common thread is that they're no longer alive but somehow still mobile.

Dead flesh fears no poison or disease, drowning won't take either -- they're dead already. Dark energy fortifies them rather than harms. Holy power, silver, and bright light, though, cut undead like the living: for them it's a real weapon.

They see by infravision, sense good, evil, the living, and other dead, wounds knit on the move. In battle they go berserk, parry, dodge, and move fast.

The class is used mechanically -- for class abilities of paladins, clerics, and other respected exterminators.
