One of my players, playing a Barbarian just got himself turned into some sort of undead in another game he plays.
Now, if undeads does not have constitution scores (wich is significant to determine how many rounds he will be in rage), wich other attribute will play the CON part?

(thanks in advance and pardon my english)


Charisma


Yeah, Charisma. Page 300 of the MM states that Charisma should be used to replace stats that a creature doesn't have for the purpose of special attack DCs. So no direct reference to rage, but it's a pretty safe bet.


I'd consider letting that Barbarian take the Rage Variant: Whirling Frenzy (class variants, www.d20srd.org) or the Berserker Strength variant ability (PHB2, p. 33) in place of standard rage. Then the lack of Con score goes away. :-)

I'd suggest letting him use the Rage variant in the PHBII, that does not depend on CON, and grants DR and Str Boost when below 50% hit points. Its called Beserker or something like that.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch, drat.

By the RAW, undead barbarians get +0 rounds for having no Con. On the other hand, they are immune to fatigue, so it kinda balances out (until they get to level where they wouldn't get fatigued anyway).
