Ghosts are the undead and restless remains of a once living being or creature. These spectral entities are the remnants of a person or creature that usually died by violence, treachery, through an injustice, or evil beings attempting to hold on to life at any cost.

Ghosts are normally incorporeal, unable to interact with the physical world. In fact, a Ghost must make a Save vs. Will in order to even touch or move physical objects.

Any damage actually dealt to a Ghost through magical means will heal at a rate of 1 hit per minute. The only way to permanently destroy a Ghost is through burning the mortal remains of the Ghost, or if the Ghost fails its Save against a Repel Undead spell.

Ghosts attack using something called a Spectral Touch. This touch does cold damage to the target and requires the target to make a Save vs. Con or the Ghost will drain some of the target’s Strength. If the target survives the attack of the Ghost, he will recover that Strength at a rate of 1 point per each full day of rest.

Also, Ghosts of intelligent beings may attempt to possess another person (no more than once per hour). If that person fails a Save vs. Will, the Ghost has possessed them and taken over. The target gets another Save once every hour, or anytime that the Ghost attempts to do something that would harm the target. A Ghost may only make 1 attempt per day for each level that it has.
