Revenant
by John Walter BilesIn the lands of the Ethengars and in some other places, it is possible for spirits to pass in and out of Mystara and their home, the Spirit World. Ethengar shamans train to deal with such beings.
Common Spirit Powers (Possessed by all)
Materialise/Dematerialise (standard, at-will)
Spirits may turn immaterial (or back to normal) as a standard action. This gives them Fly 6, the Insubstantial Quality, and Invisibility. A spirit may only effect other dematerialised spirits when immaterial. Dematerialised spirits are not invisible to each other.
Cantrips (standard; at-will)
Spirits may use any of the standard wizard cantrips; the most mischievous spirits use them A LOT to mess with people.
Undead Spirits possess bodies of the dead turning them into horrible undead monstrosities. They lose most of their powers during the day and tend to roam constantly instead of haunting a single spot.

Revenants look just like zombies, until they shrug off enough damage to kill a dozen zombies. They generally open fights by using their leap attack to get right down in the middle of their foes and clobber someone, then start clawing and clawing and using Finger of Death until everyone is dead. They typically command a pack of revenant spectres (see below)
