Akutenshi Ability

[Arcturus_Rugend]

This may have been covered at some tiime in the past, but I didn't see it with a quick check...

The Akutenshi (a template from Oriental Adventures) is a template that can only be added to an Akutsukai (another template from Oriental Adventures). The Akutenshi has an ability called Breath of Taint that bases it's saving throw DC in part on the Akutenshi's constitution modifier. The problem is that the Akutenshi's creature type is "undead (Shadowlands)" as that was the change made with the Akutsukai template and was not changed with the addition of the second template. In other words, it shouldn't have a CON modifier because it shouldn't have a CON score. This wasn't covered in the OA errata, so am I missing something?

Thanks for the input in advance.

(I know a guy I work with who has Breath of Taint.)

.. and in a more helpful vein, I believe the rule-of-thumb is to use the CHA mod for undead types, and those who lack CON.

In that case...


LOL and Thanks for the feedback, respectively.

Right. Undead with no Con score use Cha instead of Con for everything, except for:

1. Fortitude saves
2. HP adjustments

for which their Con modifier is treated as +0.
