Undead


Rules Questions


Can you intimidate undead? Can they become shaken or panicked? Are these or are these not mind effecting?

I'm pretty sure they have to be intelligent undead and able to understand you for them to become intimidated.

Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).

But not 100% sure though because they are immune to morale effects which. Intimidation is certainly something effecting their moral. Unless it's meant for them to be immune to only magical sources.

It's meant to be all effects. If it were only magical sources, the text would spell it out.

Personally, I'd say fear is a mind-affecting effect, but it doesn't spell it out.

Still, Turn Undead says that the targets will flee "as if panicked", not that they're panicked. I'd say this phrasing was chosen because undead cannot be panicked.
