Unliving Subtype[edit]

Traits[edit]

An Unliving creature is an undead that mimics many of the capacities of a living creature without truly being alive. An unliving creature has the following game effects:

  • Unliving creatures have a metabolism of sorts, and thus have a Constitution score.
  • Unliving creatures require food (often blood or flesh) and sleep, and are vulnerable to magical sleep effects even if they are otherwise immune to mind affecting effects.
  • Unliving creatures have at least one vital organ, and are subject to critical hits from attackers with at least one rank in Knowledge (Religion).
  • Not destroyed upon reaching 0 it points, though its existence still ends if it reaches -10 as normal.
  • Subject to subdual damage, but can benefit from the Regeneration ability as normal.
