Weaponry
The Chosen Undead is very skilled in the use of countless different weapons and forms of weaponry, able to fight against even ancient knights and warriors with many years of skill in their craft.

However, they are not inherently able to use all weapons. For all weapons have a series of stat requirements in order to be used effectively. This does not mean they cannot use them, but they would be slower, and hit with less power.

Ressurection
As a Hollow, they are cursed to eternally be reborn after death. But after their death, they lose all of the Souls they have been holding, and also have their regenerative ability weakened, leaving them weak and lower in constitution.

This also leaves them unable to summon other spirits.

Soul Manipulation
They are capable of collecting the Souls of those that they kill, which they can use in order to further their own strength.
