I asked in a previous thread if sunlight effects undead in general. Are undead relegated to only night or dark encounters? The consensus on that thread was that sunlight will not automatically kill undead.
But then I was reading this under the SUNBURST spell description:
The ultraviolet light generated by the spell deals damage to fungi, mold, oozes, and slimes just as if they were undead creatures.
Ok so now I am thinking my initial thought that Sunlight will damage undead is indeed true. Is this codified somewhere? Or is it not even a written rule.
I am having trouble tracking this simple thing down.
many thanks!

Read the whole spell.
From the paragraph directly above the one that you quoted:
An undead creature caught within the globe takes 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 25d6), or half damage if a Reflex save if successful. In addition, the burst results in the destruction of any undead creature specifically harmed by bright light if it fails its save.
The spell itself affects ALL undead creatures in manner different than other creatures--and those undead susceptible to daylight are subject to an instant destruction effect. For the purposes of this spell treat fungi, molds, slimes, and oozes as if they were undead creatures.

Ah right! Thanks! I latched on to one thing.
So I guess that undead are not vulnerable to sunlight in general. I always took for granted that they were.
