While fighting defensively or taking the total defense action with a Pale Birch weapon, all undead creatures of a CR of 2 or less are [[At Bay (3.5e Condition)|At Bay]] from you. A creature with undead ancestry or origin, such as a character with the [[Dhampir Blood (3.5e Feat)|Dhampir Blood]] feat, count as undead whenever it would disadvantageous when struck by a attack made with a pale birch weapon. 

If pale birch is turned into paper, any books or scrolls made of it gain protection against undead or creature with undead ancestry or origin.
