This page is part of the character sheet for Starfinder, covering Undead creatures.

Undead are defined as, quite simply, any and all creatures animated by negative energy, rather than the positive energy that animates everything else. Usually — but not always, strictly speaking — they start out as some other type of creature and end up this after dying and being reanimated by any of a number of processes. Beyond that, undead are quite possibly the most diverse category of creatures in-game — they come in both corporeal and incorporeal variants; they occupy the entirety of the spectrum between mindless automata and prodigiously intelligent post-mortal entries; they can be raised from a single intact body, an amalgamation of corpses or separated body parts and organs; and can be raised from almost any other living thing, making them potentially as diverse as all the other categories combined.

Each personal upgrade item has a model number: mk 1, mk 2, or mk 3.

This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary. To properly wield a 1+ weapon, you must hold it in one hand and also have a hand free. Weapons requiring two hands typically deal more damage.
