12-23-04, 07:21 AM I'm playing in a high level game (20th level bard) and the party is about to take on some undead. I've been specializing in Bardic Music and Enchantment spells, both of which are pretty ineffective vs Undead.

I've been thinking of relying heavily on my UMD skill to use something else, likely a staff , to combat the undead I will be facing. Does anyone have some reccomendations on magic items that will be effective in combating Undead?

12-23-04, 07:41 AM Thanks. I can't change any feats or spells though unfortunately. The Lyre of the Restful Sould sounds nice though.

12-23-04, 07:54 AM try also "helm of Briliance" (DMG)125000gp it has this power "It emanates a bluish light when undead are within 30 feet. This light causes 1d6 points of damage per round to all such creatures within that range."

:D
