Undead bloodline


Rules Questions


So, can a sorcerer with the undead bloodline cast charm person on unintelligent undead? I would highly assume not, that it can only be cast on vampires and stuff by I just wanted to make sure.


As long as they were "persons" before death/undeath, yeah.
They can.

yeah, I have the same reading. Humanoid zombies and skeletons are fair game.


Just re-read it.

If they're corporeal, and were humanoids, you're good.


I just reread everything, and I'm more convinced that you can't. You can cast enlarge person on a skeleton, as long as it's a skeleton of a humanoid, but I don't see how the bloodline gets rid of the mind-affecting aspect of the spell, which requires at least 1 point of int. So, I guess I have my answer, unless someone has an argument.

The Undead Bloodline explicitly says "Some undead are susceptible to your mind-affecting spells". It flat-out says that corporeal undead that were once humanoids are not immune to mind-affecting spells cast by an undead bloodline Sorcerer.


How I missed that the first eight times I read it, I'll never know. Thanks, all.
