Shadow Chasers and the Undead

Kirowan

First Post
I was checking out Shadow Chasers the other day when I noticed that undead creatures aren't considered to have wound points because they don't possess a constitution score. Instead, all they have is vitality points, and when they're gone, the creature dissapates. That seems pretty silly to me given the description they provided when defining vitality points. Vitality points in D20 Modern allow characters to narrowly avoid devastating damage through skill and energy use. I don't see undead characters being worn down until they just dissapate. It would have been better to just rule that their HPs are all wound points and they have to be hacked apart to stop them from functioning.

Who here agrees/disagrees?

For corporeal undead, that's probably best.

For incorporeal undead, I would think that they would have no wound points.
 

I think that undead should have infinite VP, and be only affected by WP damage. After all, they'll never suffer from fatigue and would ignore minor scratches and such. Only telling blows would be able to hurt them - a simple slash won't cut it, they have to be ripped up so badly that it's impossible for them to continue fighting.
