Action

Life Drain

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) necrotic damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the warrior must use one hand to maintain the grapple, but can automatically hit the grappled creature with its Life Drain. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain by this attack rises 24 hours later as a zombie under the warrior's control, unless the humanoid is restored to life or its body is destroyed. The warrior can have no more than 12 zombies under its control at one time.

Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (OSR)

 

Special

|Create Spawn|Energy Drain|Resurrection|Vulnerability

Any humanoid creature that is slain by a wight becomes a wight itself in only 1d4 rounds. Spawn so created are less powerful than typical wights, and suffer -4 penalty on all d20 rolls and checks, as well as -2 hp per HD. Spawn are under the command of the wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death, at which point they lose their spawn penalties and become fullfledged and free-willed wights. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.

 

Special

|Create Spawn|Energy Drain|Resurrection|Vulnerability

You sap a living opponent's vital energy automatically when your melee or ranged attack hits. Each successful energy drain inflicts an additional 1d6 points of necrotic damage. If an attack that includes an energy drain scores a critical hit, it inflicts twice this reduction.

 

Special

|Create Spawn|Energy Drain|Resurrection|Vulnerability

A raise dead or similar spell cast on a wight destroys it (Spell save negates). Using the spell in this way does not require a material component.

Special

Energy drain

A successfully hit target permanently loses one experience level (or Hit Die). This incurs a loss of one Hit Die of hit points, as well as all other benefits due to the drained level (e.g. spells, saving throws, etc.). A character's XP is reduced to halfway between the former and new levels. A person drained of all levels becomes a wight in 1d4 days, under the control of the wight that killed them.

Special

Create Spawn (Su)

Any humanoid creature that is slain by a wight becomes a wight itself in only 1d4 rounds. Spawn so created are less powerful than typical wights, and suffer a -2 penalty on all d20 rolls and checks, as well as -2 hp per HD. Spawn are under the command of the wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death, at which point they lose their spawn penalties and become full-fledged and free-willed wights. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.

 

Special

Resurrection Vulnerability (Su)

A raise dead or similar spell cast on a wight destroys it (Will negates). Using the spell in this way does not require a material component.

 

Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (Pathfinder 2e)

 

Ability

Drain Life

(divine, necromancy) When the wight damages a living creature with its claw Strike, the wight gains 3 temporary Hit Points and the creature must succeed at a DC 17 Fortitude save or become drained 1. Further damage dealt by the wraith increases the amount of drain by 1 on a failed save to a maximum of drained 4

 

Ability

Final Spite

Circumstance: Trigger: The wight is reduced to 0 Hit Points.

The wight makes a Strike before being destroyed. It doesn't gain any temporary HP from drain life on this Strike.

 

Ability

Wight Spawn

(divine, necromancy) A living humanoid slain by a wight's claw Strike rises as a wight after 1d4 rounds. This wight spawn is under the command of the wight that killed it. It doesn't have Drain Life or Wight Spawn and becomes clumsy 2 for as long as it is a wight spawn. If the creator of the wight spawn dies, the wight spawn becomes a full-fledged, autonomous wight; it regains its free will, gains Drain Life and Wight Spawn, and is no longer clumsy.

Trait
