Message: <blockquote data-quote="Particle_Man" data-source="post: 3201212" data-attributes="member: 892">The Detect Evil spell will only detect undead that are actually evil, either by alignment or sub-type.  The list in the table that includes Undead shows how strong their aura is, if they are evil, but will not be applicable to the non-evil undead.  Note how Detect Good, Detect Chaos and Detect Law use the same table (unless you think that all undead would detect as evil, good, lawful and chaotic).Whatever the common folk believe about undead, we are talking about Wee Jasians, who presumably take a different view.  That said, the spell "Animate Dead" *is* evil, so paladins would have trouble with that (much as they would with wizards that summon fiendish creatures).</blockquote>
