Necrology (1 slot, Wis)

A character with this skill is well versed in the lore of undead creatures. This proficiency may be used to help determine the probable lairs, dining habits, and history of such creatures (no ability check needed). Whenever a character with this skill confronts an undead, he or she may be able to specifically identify the creature (discerning between a ghast and a common ghoul, for instance). In addition, providing the character makes another successful ability check, he or she recalls the creature’s specific weaknesses and natural defenses or immunities. At the DM’s discretion, a failed ability check (in either of these cases) will reveal misleading or even completely erroneous information which may actually strengthen or otherwise benefit the undead.
