Advent Ghost #2: Clawing Wisp

 Clawing Wisp

These ghosts manifest as translucent misty bodies with ice blue claws. They are the souls of those caught in avalanches, crushed under heavy snow, and suffocated while trying to dig themselves out with frozen hands. Clawing Wisps attack the unwary by grabbing the feet of travelers as they trudge through snow drifts. A Strength check must be made to escape the grip of the Clawing Wisp. 

AC Hands 0 [19], Body 4 [15] HD 2* (9 hp), Att 1 × grasping hold (1d3), or ripping claws (1d8), THAC0 18 [+1], MV 90 (30’), SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (2), ML 9, AL Chaotic, XP 25, NA 0 (1d8), TT None

  • Undead: Make no noise until attacking. Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g. poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading.
  • Grasping hold does 1d3 cold damage each round and will grant a +2 to the Clawing Wisp's ripping claw attack until escaped.
  • The body of a Clawing Wisp can only be hit with silver and magical weapons, but the hands are susceptible to mundane weapons.
