Yeah, Reborn should absolutely be counted as Undead. One of their origins is, LITERALLY, "you were once a necromancer's servant, until one day your soul returned."

“Erm acktchually-“
Silence fools they are undead, skeleton divine death blast!

[ColtonRMagby]

The undead were removed after playtests? THAT'S CHEATING!

There is the benefit of being able to be healed. Still, that is rather disappointing.

For buffs no one is talking about. How about the Rune Shaper feat (that you can get from the Rune Carver background) that gives the Rune Knight more power.
They both give you rune you can inscribe onto objects and nothing stopping you from benefiting from both features from each rune as long as the rune is on both features.
A level 10 Rune Knight with the Rune Shaper feat from the Rune Carver Background can have the hill, stone, frost, fire, cloud and storm runes, get all 6 benefits from the Rune Knight and get 6 spells they can cast once per long rest (7 with comprehend languages).
And maybe more from the magic items with runes from Bigby's (although only 2 say that the rune is inscribed onto the item)

Hear me out, a party of oath breaker paladins and a cleric

We play with them as undead at my table, but allow them to heal with spells and stuff. We’ve been workshopping treating inflict wounds as cure wounds for them, but we haven’t really decided that yet.

[durff]

Yeah they could have applied the same rules that Autognome got to allow for healing. But even then, there are many spells and effects that mess up undead, so it would be a very risky player option. Not a bad thing, but definitely doesn’t have broad appeal.

[raphaelgomes]

Me: They are Undead...
D&D: Yes, but also no....

[waleyboi]

Thats why im the dm fuck that rule of cool let do it

[DevilousCipher]

And that's where homebrew comes in to save the day lol

[WhiteFyreLeo]

My all time favorite buff is rule of cool, granted it changes all the time, the changes aren't always good/bad it's just whatever would be the coolest

[NewDays]

Thats when you naw thats undead screw as written I AM THE DM I AM THE CAPTAIN NOW!

[daytonbenson]

The mayan world music from banjo going crazy

[lockwoan]

Would of been funny to play as a Dhampir, or Reborn Cleric that had to run away from themselves.

[pandas]

As Barbosa once said the code is more of guidelines than rules.

[TheZombunnehLives]

I long ago houseruled that reborn count as undead. It's silly to say otherwise. In fact, there is a reborn NPC in my game that has an entire story arc and questline around the fact that he's undead.

[wintersolace]

We take any new update that changes player creature types and make them dual so you're character isn't immune to spells. Looking at you changeling. Changelings get the humanoid tag, undead get the humanoid tag, etc.
It keeps things balanced for everyone, and fair.

[Aether_Veilborne]

Play as a Sidekick and choose an Undead.

"Nah screw that noise, we got some work to do"
