I've heard that there's a rule that creatures without Con scores (e.g. undead) cannot have the regeneration special ability. I can see why that would be the case (immunity to nonlethal damage makes Regeneration pretty powerful), but I'd like to see a rules citation for it if it exists.

Remember that they can regenerate hp, they just have the simpler fast healing instead of "true" regeneration. Be back with an answer if I can find a 3.5 source... \$\endgroup\$

It is right there in Regeneration ability description:

[...] A creature must have a Constitution score to have the regeneration ability.
