Undead... made some assumptions which look to be wrong

[Scrogz]

In looking more closely at the beastiary...

Undead are no longer immune to cold? Correct?

Would illusions affect undead, like Mirror Image or displacement? I always thought no based on the mind affecting spells immunity but I am not so sure after reading the description.

Only some undead are, like skeletons. Those spells aren't mind-affecting. The only illusion subschool that is is phantasms.

While Mirror Image and Displacement are both Illusion School spells neither is mind affecting. Mirror Image is a Figmemnt and Displacement is a Glamer.

The Undead category specifically calls them out as being immune to patterns and phantasms, amongst others.

Oh yeah, patterns too.

Yes, I needed to read this more closely. Once again, just making some assumptions and I am still learning pathfinder.

I need to quit making these assumptions =) Since we are getting ready to fight a cave full of shadows and wights I think mirror image might be a life saver!

They are no longer immune to critical hits (and thus sneak attack) in pathfinder, either. Took me a little bit to realize that when I started.
