Undead and natural healing
« on: November 03, 2021, 09:36:06 PM »
Do undead benefit from natural healing?  Like does a 1HD skeleton regain 1hp overnight?

Mindless undead (like skeletons) explicitly don't.  It's unclear in regards to other ones.

Thanks.  I thought maybe skeletons and zombies wouldn't, but then I thought ghouls and ghasts and mummies probably would.  "Mindless" makes all the difference, and I didn't think of that.

the SRD type description for Undead says something like  'Undead without an Int score do not' and says that Int is not tied to Fast Healing special ability.
