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 zombie roltons to phantoms to much worse. They can manifest in corporeal and non-corporeal entities.

Undead possess a natural 25% damage resistance to physical attacks, as well as a +25 bonus to defending against PSM skills. Each tier of Sanctify on relevant offensive combat gear negates 20% of these defenses, removing them completely at the fifth tier (T5). Blessed combat gear removes these defenses entirely. Most direct damage spells harm them normally. Clerics and paladins do not require a bless or sanctify to bypass damage resistance if their weapon is a holy armament.

Many undead 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.
