Advent Ghost #3: Nimble Wraith

 Time got away from me so I'm playing catch up. I'm not surprised it happened, but I was surprised it happened so soon.


Nimble Wraith

Thieves caught and executed, these minor ghosts are obsessed with stealing treasure far past their mortal lifespan. They manifest as a near solid spirit with bulging eyes, purpled face, and often missing a hand (usually the left) which was removed to create a Hand of Glory. They resent this theft and some scholars say it is the reason why they still walk the lands of the living. 

Nimble Wraiths attack as thieves. If their opponents are surprised, the Nimble Wraith will back stab (+4 and double damage) the person in the back of the group. 

When a Nimble Wraith is slain, treasure will drop from their dissipating body. 

AC 6 [13] HD 4* (16 hp), Att 1 × touch (1d6 + treasure stolen), THAC0 16 [+3], MV 120 (40’), SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (4), ML 7, AL Chaotic, XP 125, NA 1 (1), TT L, R, and S

  • Undead: Make no noise until attacking. Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g. poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading.
  • Treasure stolen: 1d10 coins, or 1 gem or piece of jewelry stolen with each hit.
