Not officially. You could allow your undead to have such a life-sense ability, but I'd give the players an extra 5% XP-reward for such enemies.

I don't have a copy of the coppanion rules but the RC says a detect invisible spell on the etheral plane can be used to see the prime plane. Nothing about seeing invisible people. I'm not sure how you would rule in AD&D but I would say that even if a person was invisible on the prime they would not be on the etheral and so could be seen by creatures that could see both planes at once. (etheral natural creatures perhaps like haunts) but I think one can normally see only in one plane unless they use some sort of magic like detect invisibility. > undead, spectres in this > If it was just a case of illusionary hiding, I'd say > no.

You need to specify the once living undead (haunts) and the animated dead (skelitons and zombies) and the not really dead undead (vampires, lich's). Only the first in my book would have any chance of seeing the person while the last one may be able to sence but not pinpoint them and animated dead only being able to see as a person as it is a magical sight. that is of course if the invisible is visible in the etheral and if something can see both at once. To me I would generally rule no. Hope that helps. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That's a weird one. So they also can't be hasted? Moving really fast is mental also? In particular, if a Mystic is immune to slow using Mindblock, they can also not be hasted? (Not that they'd need it.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ville V Lähde" Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 7:05 AM Subject: Immunities and vulnerabilities > I have a suggestion regarding the various vulnerabilities, immunities and > such in the D&D game.
