The undead have potent natural attacks and defenses, making them feared
opponents for characters of any level. Their spell immunities and debilitating touch make them
stand out from common monsters that fear magic and must strike an enemy with force enough
to break bones or cut flesh. The undead merely saunter into their enemy's reach, reckless of
their attacks and deal death and destruction with a common touch. When these innate abilities
are augmented by magical items, the undead can overcome their weaknesses or use their
horrible attacks in new ways.
Although these creatures and their items are defined in AD&D terms, they are easily
adaptable to any game system. They may appear as major or minor villains for player
characters of different degrees of power. Although they are generally independent and do not
serve a greater evil, they might have temporary allies for any reason.
