Undead

Undead are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces. Most undead were once living. Knowing details about the phase of existence that preceded a creature's undeath is often invaluable in determining its motives.

Holy water damages undead as though it were acid. Distributed by goodly religious orders the world over, holy water is the only line of defense against undead for many commoners. Undead are also healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy. Undead are typically immune to numerous magical effects, including mind-affecting effects and abilities that affect a creature's physical constitution.

Undead are almost invariably evil or inimical to life, as are the means to create such beings.

 Wight 

humanoids who rise as undead due to necromancy, a violent death, or an extremely malevolent personality. In some cases, a wight arises when an evil undead spirit permanently bonds with a corpse, often the corpse of a slain warrior. They are barely recognizable to those who knew them in life; their flesh is twisted by evil and undeath, the eyes burn with hatred, and the teeth become beast-like. In some ways, a wight bridges the gap between a ghoul and a spectre—a warped animated corpse whose touch steals living energy. Any humanoid creature that is slain by a wight's Life Energy Drain ability rises as a subordinate wight within minutes.
