Is there a way to count as undead for spell effects?


Advice


Hey guys simple question. Is there a way for a character to count as an undead creature for spell effects?


Not a full blanket effect, as far as I know, outside of actually being undead.. However there are ways to be treated as undead for different spell effects, or for purposes of healing/channel energy. Are you looking for something specific?

Guide of Unlife (Vigilante Talent) works for knowledge checks and divination type spells.
Undead Anatomy (Spell) takes the form of undead, detect as, Cure spells, inflict spells, spells that specifically target undead.


My goal is simply to count as undead for spells.
My group is doing a 3.P game and I was looking at the Fell Energy spell feat and thought it was nifty and water to toy around with it.

But ideally if there is a way to have the undead type for spell purposes and retain a con score that would be awesome.

However, I will take anything that would achieve the effect of being undead for spell purposes.


Either become a Vampire or a Lich and you'll gain the undead descriptor. If you're just going for Negative Energy affinity, you can go lvl 8 Cleric with Death Domain.

Can you link that Fell Energy spell feat? I googled it and came up with something that didn't look like what you're talking about.


Fell Energy Spell
( Dragon Compendium)

[Metamagic]

You add a dose of raw necromantic energy to your beneficial spells, making them especially effective for undead creatures.

Prerequisite
Benefit
Any numerical bonus granted by a spell modified with this feat increases by +2 for all undead creatures it affects. This increase does not apply to factors such as range, save DC, healing, or other numerical factors relating to a spell. Only effects described as bonuses gain this benefit.

A fell energy spell takes up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.


That does indeed look fun...
I'm not seeing any good first party help, I've checked Damphir, undead bloodline, undead anatomy, and nothing that mentions death or rot in the title for druid archetypes has anything useful in them (if there are any with other less helpful names I assume they reference undead anatomy anyways).

Next up, someone needs to hammer out magical items search and then we enter the realm of 3pp and Homebrew. In the meantime, good luck and good night.

I've got a pretty much up to date package of Herolab (it has a rather good search feature) and I checked most spells, domains, class features, archetypes, and magic items (even alchemical ones). Nothing covers the blanket "treat" as undead the OP is looking for. Only certain abilities in certain ways.

I can't speak for 3pp or 3.E. I don't use them.
