As an Undead Character, you need to wear a helmet on all the time to cover your head. If you take it off, NPCs will attack you on sight.
- Fane, the Undead Origin Character, starts with Fane's Mask of the Shapeshifter
- Custom Undead Characters start with the Tattered Cowl.
Undead characters can lockpick with their fingers; You are not required to carry lockpicks.
Healing Spells, Healing Potions will DAMAGE undead characters rather than healing them. To heal an undead character, you must use poison instead. Poisons damage living characters, but will heal undead characters.
- Certain necromancy spells such as Mosquito Swarm and Blood Sucker also heal undead.

The Grinning Skull in the Laboratory of The Hold at the start of the game only talks to Undead characters. It has no dialogue when playing living characters.
It is a good idea to learn to craft poisons so that you can have them handy to use instead of healing potions.
If you are playing as Fane (Origin Undead Character), you start the game equipped with Fane's Mask of the Shapeshifter, but it gets stolen shortly after. When that happens, look in your inventory and you should see a Tattered Cowl. Equip the Tattered Cowl instead of the mask so that you don't get attacked by everyone. If you sold, or otherwise misplaced the Tattered Cowl, any other helmet will do.
