I remain… because I have been tricked or mislead or I have proven myself to be worthy of life.

Mercenaries devoted strongly enough to a life of war that they carry on in death their endless campaign of destruction. Sword Wraiths appear somewhat insubstantial and have faintly glowing eyes, but they are not truly incorporeal and their eyes do not produce enough light to modify vision penalties.

Prerequisites

A character slain in battle may return as a Sword Wraith if his services were hired under false pretenses or if his exploits were particularly impressive before his life finally ended (at the discretion of the DM).

Character Modifications[edit]

  • Type: The character's type changes to Undead and the character's former type becomes a subtype with the "augmented" modifier. The character also gains the Dark Minded and Unliving subtypes.

  • Skills: The character gains a +2 bonus to his Hide and Move Silently checks.
