Requiem (Su) The bardic performance abilities and mind-affecting spells of a bardic lich affect all undead as if they were living, non-mindless creatures.

Touch Attack A lich’s touch attack uses negative energy to deal 1d8 points of damage to living creatures + 1 point of damage per 2 Hit Dice possessed by the lich. As negative energy, this damage can be used to heal undead creatures. A lich can take a full-round action to infuse itself with this energy, healing damage as if it had used its touch attack against itself.
