These are some of the many undead creatures in Gemstone IV. While this isn't a complete list it does consist of the majority of known locations and is especially accurate in the higher levels. Starter areas have been excluded as each city tends to have a low level graveyard or crypt areas crawling with undead from levels 1-15 or in the case of a single undead creature that is well represented in other areas, such as the [[Skeletal giant]] (33), have been excluded. |

For over 20 years, no undead creatures existed between the levels of 64 and 75. This "Undead Gap" existed for over 20 years, and ended with the release of the July 2016 release of the [[Red Forest]] and its level 68 [[warped tree spirits]]. |

A long-standing gap from 64-75 has been pointed out numerous times in development requests. Creatures can generate +/- 5 levels, but it remains a popular request among players and is refered to as the Undead Gap. |

The Undead are creatures that are brought to a semblance of life after their death, in a manner that is different from resurrection in that their life is not fully restored. This is usually accomplished by binding a cursed soul to some aspect of the material world, often (but not always) their own corpse. The Undead can range from zombies roltons to phantoms to much worse. They can manifest in corporeal and non-corporeal entities.
Undead are immune to physical damage from unblessed weapons, although most direct damage spells harm them normally. Many are also immune to cold-based attacks unless they take a form aligned with fire. They are immune or highly resistant to many forms of mind-affecting magic. The Cleric spell Smite/Bane (302) may be more or less effective depending on the cleric's deity.
Corporeal and Non-Corporeal Undead
The corporeal undead generally take damage normally from blessed weapons.
While still vulnerable to attacks by blessed weaponry, the non-corporeal undead (e.g. spirits, phantoms) are a little harder to handle. Having no body, they use a special non-corporeal critical table which makes them immune to instant death or debilitating wounds. Many are also immune or highly resistant to stuns and knockdowns. Non-corporeal beings can be forced into a corporeal form by using the sorcerer spell Phase (704). The Order of Voln has an unarmed combat ability called Kai's Smite that also draws them into corporeal form temporarily, and they can be weakened by Symbol of Disruption.
Sheer Fear
- Main article: Sheer fear
Player characters may be incapacitated by sheer fear in the presence of undead creatures with substantially higher level than their own.
Undead Creatures
These are some of the many undead creatures in Gemstone IV. While this isn't a complete list it does consist of the majority of known locations and is especially accurate in the higher levels. Starter areas have been excluded as each city tends to have a low level graveyard or crypt areas crawling with undead from levels 1-15 or in the case of a single undead creature that is well represented in other areas, such as the Skeletal giant (33), have been excluded.
For over 20 years, no undead creatures existed between the levels of 64 and 75. This "Undead Gap" existed for over 20 years, and ended with the release of the July 2016 release of the Red Forest and its level 68 warped tree spirits.
