→The {{Anchor|Curse}} of the Living Dead
# Supernatural means of infection have no incubation time.
|}
Upon failing a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save against the curse, a creature is drained of 1 point of its [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]. This [[SRD:Ability Drain|ability drain]] cannot be reversed as long as the curse is active on the creature, and is permanent until the creature dies or its curse is removed. When the creature dies, it will rise as a Dead 1 minute later. The table above details what kinds of Dead a given creature is likely to transform into.
Only a select few types of living creatures resist the Curse fully. Because the curse does not affect a creature's immortal soul, single-constituent creatures like [[SRD:Elemental Type|elementals]] and non-[[SRD:Native Subtype|native]] [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsiders]], whose physical and spiritual bodies are one and the same, are immune to the Curse. Likewise, creatures that are not flesh and blood ([[SRD:Plant Type|plants]] and most [[SRD:Ooze Type|oozes]]), as well as creatures without a physical body ([[SRD:Incorporeal Subtype|incorporeals]]) cannot be infected.
