Thanks to Finoan's link the GOGW player guide, which includes the description for corpsefolk, I've the confirmation that they don't need to drink, eat or breath. It's specifically mentioned there in a box.

@Kaid: our corpsefolk player is also our mystic healer. Although true, that the vitality network would work to stablize her, she can't use it on herself, especially not if downed ;) So my other players will still need to rely on medpatches, if they want to save her.

Thank's for the vivid discussion!

We play on Foundry VTT with Pathfinder 2e as the game system using the Starfinder Anachronism Module. This is quite good, as it includes a lot of information including from Guilt of the graveworlds (still thx to Finoan for the link to the player guide!).

"Void Surival" is mentioned there, therefore I was aware that my undead player will not be destroyed instantly when downed. But for me the sentence about "stablizing" leaves room for interpretation.

Oni Shogun reminded me of the important fact, that she can only be healed by someone with the "stitch flesh" feat. That implies that without that feat you won't be able to Administer First Aid also. Although the feat doesn't mention "Administer First aid", it makes sense for me that someone who can treat wounds of undead people also knows how to stabilize them. This still significantly limits the chances of being stabilized by someone else, which is propably the idea of that limitation of void survival. The most common solution will still be to use a MedPatch to save them from dying.

Hello all,

I've just started my first Starfinder 2e campaign (never played Starfinder before, Pathfinder so far). One of my players decided to play a corpsefolk character, and I don't want to stop her.

But I've some open questions regarding the rules for corpsefolk PCs:

1. Do they need to eat, drink or breath?
Corpsefolk are alive due to strong necromantic magic, in contrast to Androids for example. I believe that I once read that undead have no need to eat, drink or breath anymore.

2. Can Corpsefolk be stablized by First Aid?
The explanation of Void Survival says "(...) many methods of bringing someone back from the dying condition, such as 'Stabilize' [the spell], don't benefit you."
Does this include "stabilize" by the Administer First Aid action of the medicine skill?

3. Do Corpsefolk bleed/are affected by persistent bleed damage?
By rule, they are only immune to death effects. But as undead they are rotting, might have exposed bones and open necrotic wounds (at least from the descriptions). That implies for me that, they don't bleed anymore. I also read online that persistent bleed damage does not affect non-living creatures.

I hope you can help me do find some answers to these questions.

Thank you

Megge
