Rise, creation, follow my command, Come and be my undead right hand. Follow my orders, you will live, Do them well, and you shall outlive. Outlive all those who you come from, And to death you will not succumb. And if I die you will be free, And roam the land for all to see. For all to see, and fuel their fears, All to see, but not see your tears.

Undead. You are considered undead for effects such as turn undead and many healing spells. You are immune to disease and the poisoned condition, and you have resistance to poison damage.

Darkvision. Your sight has been restored by necromancy, giving you unnaturally sharp vision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.
Might of Death. You have resistance to necrotic damage.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, and Notongue. Notongue is the language of the undead, which sounds like the creaking and cracking of bones, and is spoken by almost all undead.
