Blinding Undead

[daemonslye]

{I am sure this has been asked before; Sorry}

I.
Color spray states:

"(Only living creatures are knocked unconcious.)"

Now I know undead and constructs are immune
to patterns and mind affecting but why the statement?

II.
Blindness spell (Wiz2): Though a transmutation,
this requires a Fort save (so undead and constructs
are immune, correct?).

III. Power word blind (Sor8): No save, and it is
Conjuration.. Can undead be affected?

IV.
Magical darkness - Can undead somehow "see"
through this? Do the undead require organs to
see? What do they see? It states in the MM that
they use darkvision.

VI. Can undead be blinded? Does this depend on the
undead?

Skeletons - No organs... Can they be blinded by
magical darkness?

Spectre - Well it is incorporeal, but this does not
give it blindsight as far as I can see..

Zombies - Could have organs, maybe not.


Thanks for your help.

Probably left over from an earlier draft.

II.

Correct.

III. Power word blind (Sor8): No save, and it is
Conjuration.. Can undead be affected?

Yes.

Undead use darkvision, and darkvision cannot see through magical darkness. Undead are affected just like everyone else.

VI. Can undead be blinded? Does this depend on the
undead?

Yes, undead can be blinded by any "blindness" effect that is not a fort save or mind affecting.

Skeletons - No organs... Can they be blinded by
magical darkness?

Spectre - Well it is incorporeal, but this does not
give it blindsight as far as I can see..

Zombies - Could have organs, maybe not.
