Living Undeath (MH) and Grave Strike (CV) interaction

[Scharlata]

Hi, fellow spellcasters!

I've a question regarding the interaction between Living Undeath (Miniatures Handbook, p. 37) and Grave Strike (Complete Adventurer, p. 150).

Last session the party encountered a large group of evil priests, (mostly) all of them under the effect of a Living Undeath spell that modified not only their appearance but the susceptibility to sneak attacks and critical hits as follows: "The subject becomes not subject to sneak attacks and critical hits, just as undead are." One of the PCs (a favored soul/rogue) cast Grave Strike to counter the Living Undeath because: "For 1 round, you can deliver sneak attacks against undead as if they were not immune to sneak attacks".

I, as the DM, allowed the PC to sneak the priest. Was I wrong?

Thanx for your input and kind regards

Your ruling seems reasonable to me, and fully in line with the intent of both spells. That's how I'd do it.

It's specifically the immunity that undead have, which is specifically countered by the other spell.

Agree.
