Requirements You're a living creature.
Duration 10 minutes
You take death and wrap it about you like a cloakâyour colors wash out and your skin grows cold to the touch. Your heartbeat, breathing, and similar life functions become very difficult to detect. Senses such as
lifesense detect you as
undead unless a creature succeeds at a Perception check against the spell's DC, and on a failed check, they don't detect you at all if they only sense living creatures.
Detection spells that specifically sense living creatures must succeed at a
counteract check against
mimic undead to detect you. You gain a +4 status bonus to
Impersonate an undead but physically intact version of yourself and can add your level as your proficiency bonus even if you're untrained. You don't gain these benefits to Impersonate any other sort of undead. Mindless undead usually don't have a reason to even attempt the Perception check to notice your Impersonation unless you interact with them in some way.
