[QUOTE="OniDaimyo, post: 7190192, member: 6863160"] AND Undead cannot be healed by cure wounds. Undead are healed by NEGATIVE energy and hurt by positive. Thus Cure Wounds? Hurts all undead unless it says otherwise. The Undying in Eberron for example? They are a different kind of undead. They are fueled by positive energy and as such are good guys and good aligned and are healed by the normal spells. So that's probably another reason why? Undead are probably evil because they are made with negative energy. Good aligned or even neutral undead are super rare as to be like the only one of their kind. So yeah I would honestly call the PC Revenant something else entirely. Call them like "The Returned" "Risen" ect (Risen are a Deadlands reference. in Deadlands are pretty cool but have a lot of downsides, such as they CAN be rotting and obviously undead its a option though not requirement. They do have a evil spirit that sometimes takes them over and makes them do very bad things and the PC usually doesnt remember these things.) So IMO the UA people should have really put far more thought into the Revenant as a PC. They should of named it something else, made distinctions between the MM and this Revenant and probably clarified it's type doesnt turn to undead, if it rots, needs to eat, sleep, breathe, use the potty lol...
