Breath Weapon and Undead


Rules Questions


Hello Folks,

in the entry for breath weapon, the following is stated:
"Breath weapons allow a Reflex save for half damage (DC 10 + 1/2 breathing creature's racial HD + breathing creature's Con modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature's descriptive text)."

Now I want to give a specific creature in my setting the lich template. As every other undead template, this means that the Con modifier is set to 0. Now how do I deal with breath weapons? As written, this means my dracolich is much weaker in his breath weapon than the living dragon...

Or, in your experience, does the lich template more than account for that little weakness?

OK, why rules questions? Because I wanted to ask about the first part and if there are any rules I have overlooked. The rest of the post could easily go in the advice section.

Thanks everyone!


Greetings, fellow traveller.

In this case Charisma replaces Constitution, as for bonus hp and Fort save.

See here:

Quote:

An undead creature possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature's entry).

No Constitution score. Undead use their Charisma score in place of their Constitution score when calculating hit points, Fortitude saves, and any special ability that relies on Constitution (such as when calculating a breath weapon's DC).

Oh crud. I've really overlooked that one... Thanks!!
