"PHANTOM FOLLOWER (a.k.a. Wuss Spirit)
Description: A Phantom follower appears as a ghostly apparition of its former self. These undead creatures are the spirits of dead hirelings, followers, and level-0 NPC's.
Combat/Tactics: Phantom followers have returned from the Land of the Dead to accomplish a mission that could not complete in life. Sometimes it is to exact revenge on a cruel master who mistreated him. Other times it is to warn a good master of an impending doom.
Should it be prevented or misunderstood it becomes and wails a Howl of Despair. All those who hear the the howl become profoundly sad. Those affected get -4 to all morale rolls, save against Fear at -2, and get -2 to their AC."
Anyone seen Godric lately?
Okay, let's be totally honest for a second here. We should have like a shitload of these bastards following us around by now.
ReplyDeleteI would say, 'Oh well, he wasn't my hireling', but I notice the effects aren't limited just to their former master. No problem, we can just have the cleric tu...oh wait. Well, surely his former master will be able to show his love and appreciation...oh wait. Shit, we're be screwed.
That is Awesome!
