Works perfectly fine for me.
Start as undead, change to living race, use well to regain undead tag.
Everything works perfectly fine, honestly.

Wow theres lots of bugs related to this mod huh
In my case now characters with the undead tag are now fully unkillable

Yeah we need the "Veiled Undead" status... in for joy Dallis tries to attack me right away but the towns people are fine... so it is very annoying, even with a helmet on to be attacked on sight from some powerful characters early on.

The guy said below poison flasks won't heal you? can you fix this?

I've been looking everywhere for this, I jsut want undead no bleeding/poison and take holy dmg, but as normal char.

This is nonsense, you get the undead tag and that's about it. Poison flasks don't heal you, clouds/terrain does though. And appearance does not change, seemingly also letting you walk about with no mask and not suffering any ill effects. Fake undeath at best, 1/10 would not recommend.

@Wildcard Hendricks and anyone who has a problem with not getting the play dead skill, simply use the book of origins mod, lets you change all the racial abilities and talents of you character. I use it all the time to play a lizard and not build it like a battle mage.

do you get amdia as your god if you use this or the god of the race you picked normally?

This mod would be great if it also forced the "Veiled Undead" status permanently.

@Weisser Falke this seems to have worked for me! Thanks a bunch!

If you become undead through this can you still take the covenant in the 3rd act?

The problem with this is currently you wont get the "Play Dead" skill and even if you are fully clothed Dallis will wreck you, if you can live without the skill, just meet Dallis first then change. Maybe it has something to do with that you do not get the fully clothed status and Dallis checks "If Undead -> Status Clothed"

Hello there,
I found the issue and a way to fix it.
You need to use the debug menu in addition to the fountain to fix this. As follows;

I. Start the game with the undead of your choice (undead lizard, undead elf etc.)
II. Work you way to the "Font of Undeath" interact with it fully even tho nothing will happen.
III. Open Debug menu and change your race to undead of your choice (again but important).
IV. Then use the debug menu to change your race to non-undead version.
V. Use the Font of the undead as normal to become undead.

And you are done, these steps will ensure that your a normal elf or lizard with undead status.
After these steps simply go to the mirror and change your appearance. Your Welcome

There is a bug with this mod, when completey covered Dalis still sees you as an undead and attacks you on sight when you trigger the Alexander and Matusa scene

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss

This mod works great except for one thing, there's no way back. I wish talking to the well again could turn you back to living

Well theres a mod that makes Sabeille a skeleton and theres fane, plus my custom player start as a skeleton, and I have beast as the necromancer, its a cool party

WEW!

So I see.

You can't make them skeletons with this mod but you may be able to with LaughingLeader's Debug Tools mod, which lets you race change.

Good luck.

I want to make a party of skeletons.

It does!

Does this work on the origin characters, too?

so, I use the font, total cover in my body, helm, boots, gloves, etc, and then, when i'm going to dallis she kill because i'm an undeath

Was just thinking I'd love to do a playthrough as undead but didn't want to main Fane or a non-Origins character. Thank you so much!

Oh my god, yes. I was just thinking about how I could do a solo Monster Party save with 4 Undead skelie bois, but Fane was the only other character you could pick up. This will definitely be a good way to solve it and not go Lone Wolf! I'm gonna try this out and, if you're still out there, I'll let you know of any game-breaking bugs!

Hey,
I really like this mod and I love being able to play as an Undead without being a skeleton.
However while playing as Lohse (only tested it with her as main) there have been a few odd encounters in my playthrough of Undead Lohse:

*SPOILERS*
- At first encounter with your demon, when you get the Bless spell. You actually meet Amadia rather than meeting the demon. So the whole encounter plays out as if you were an Undead character all in all. Not as Lohse's origin.

- When you first meet Malady, she will consider you an Undead rather than Lohse. But later on while on the Lady Vengeance she will first speak to you as Undead, then as Lohse, then as Undead and so on.
*SPOILERS*

*SPOILERS*
- You can't acquire the Spider's Kiss in Driftwood Undertavern at all. Dorothy will constantly assume you're Undead, despite changing the appearance with the Mask of the Shapeshifter (she will constantly say that she wont kiss you until you change out of that Undead form. I tested it with all the races, same response).

- While speaking to certain NPC's they seem to see you as Undead first and foremost. So being Lohse seems to be second. Now this might be good for instance if you want to be Sworn and join The Covenant (haven't actually gotten there yet so not 100% sure) But I assume that will hopefully let you join the God King as Lohse.
*SPOILERS*

Hope this helps for those wanting to try it out as Lohse. Might update this the further I get and if I encounter more bugs or weird encounters later on...

doesn't work. I was fully clothed and people got hostile. I killed myself and ressurected and still didn't get Play Dead

Any way to turn a character into a skeleton as well as this? I'm wanting an all undead party but I'd rather not skip companion stories. Lichdom's an option but I don't know how balanced that is and I'd like to keep the game as vanilla as I can for now

Making it over to Zaleskar, he was actually telling me that I'm not wearing a mask.

Yeah I'm having that same issue as mentioned earlier. I can't really get passed Dallis when starting a new game and going to the font. Everyone else is fine, but Dallis attacks.

I honestly have no idea. It's seemingly arbitrary.

How do you mean? We've died and not gained Play Dead. How do you gain it?

Ah, yeah. That's because when characters die with the undead tag and get resurrected they get the Play Dead skill.

I'd love to pretend it's a deliberate choice for flavour (the idea that your character's body gets damaged during death so they can convincingly play dead as an undead) but it's honestly just yet another thing I can't explain.

This mod was kind of a quick hack-job tbh.

Also.. so Ifan, Beast and Sebille didn't get play dead from changing into Undead, but Red Prince did get Play Dead....

The more bugs I hear of the less sense they make.

That's incredibly strange.

Kalvinka, only... no other NPC in the game, or guard, cares if I'm fully clothed or using a helmet. I can walk around fully naked and be perfectly fine. ONLY Dallas seems to take instant issue with out.. And as to your point. I was fully clothed outside of a belt, rings an amulet.

It's not just about a helmet, Elcarim - you need boots, leggings, a chestpiece, gloves and a helmet to cover your spooky nature.

It was at the front gate, where you first meet Dallas. Walking up to her as Beast, Ifan, or Sebille (we tried all 3) after using it to turn undead, even with a hat on, she sees you as undead, and kills you after killing the traitor then walks off.

i currently have ifan, red prince and beast as undead without issues.

So, this mod doesn't work? Dallas instantly sees me as undead and kills me, even with a hat on, it gives the undead tag but we cannot get shrouded. Any thoughts?

Fanes shapeshifter mask might work as a temporary fix

i think the origin characters get the same divine regardless of race.

Finally I can experience the Undead flavour in the game without looking awful. Thanks! Don't know if you fixed this in a later release but I can't confirm the comments saying there's issues with NPCs recognizing you despite not wearing armor. I got the Undead tag but nobody is hostile even when removing armor.

I also tested with an older save and when turning undead Lohse still met her visitor in the bits with the Meistr.

Great mod!

Thank you for saying so! Please enjoy being the edgiest Godwoken you can.

thank you! youre the best ! <3

The mod has now been updated to add a well to Reaper's Coast beach as well.

@kodaxmax

Source: Me good modder. Have three smart.

@Dazzily
