Undead
Undead are creatures that are brought to life after their death in a manner that is different from ressurection in that their life is not fully restored. Undead can be anything from zombies to spectres and worse. They come in corporeal and non-corporeal verieties, though the non-corporeal can be brought into a corporeal form by using the sorcerer spell, Phase (704). Undead are immune to physical damage from unblessed weapons, though most spells harm them normally. Certain spells of a spiritual nature may be more or less effective, especially from the Cleric Base spell circle, in which case their effectiveness may depend on the alignment of the cleric casting the spells. Generally speaking, clerics aligned to Lornon Arkati will be less effective against undead while clerics aligned to Liabo Arkati will be more effective.
Corporeal and Non-Corporeal Undead
Non-Corporeal undead, while vulnerable to attacks by blessed weaponry, still do not take much damage from most attacks. Having no body, they're immune to criticals from the attacks, making them immune to instant death, disabling damage, and the like, and they cannot be stunned. Generally, characters with spells like Bind (214) are ideal for hunting this variety of undead, where professions that rely on criticals, such as rogues, will have difficulty.
Corporeal undead, however, generally take damage normally from blessed weapons, though many are immune to piercing damage.
