Ability

Curse Ye Scallywags!

(curse, divine, necromancy) When the ghost pirate captain is reduced to 0 HP, all creatures within 60 feet are subjected to a DC 25 mariner's curse spell. The locations of those that critically fail are known to the ghost until the curse is removed. This curse ends if the ghost is permanently destroyed.

 

Ability

Rejuvenation

(divine, necromancy) When the ghost pirate captain is destroyed, they re-form after 2d4 days within the ship or location they're bound to, fully healed. They can be permanently destroyed if their desires are fulfilled, which could involve being defeated in a great battle or ensuring their treasure has been hidden.

The creature attempts a DC 25 Fortitude save. If the creature fails its save, it remains conscious but is controlled by the ghost until it loses its dying condition. It continues to attempt recovery checks as normal for the dying condition. The effect ends if the creature loses the dying condition.

Trait

Ghost

Lost souls that haunt the world as incorporeal undead are called ghosts.

 

Trait

Incorporeal

An incorporeal creature or object has no physical form. It can pass through solid objects, including walls. When inside an object, an incorporeal creature can't perceive, attack, or interact with anything outside the object, and if it starts its turn in an object, it is slowed 1. Corporeal creatures can pass through an incorporeal creature, but they can't end their movement in its space. An incorporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against physical creatures or objects—only against incorporeal ones—unless those objects have the ghost touch property rune. Likewise, a corporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against incorporeal creatures or objects. Incorporeal creatures usually have immunity to effects or conditions that require a physical body, like disease, poison, and precision damage. They usually have resistance against all damage (except force damage and damage from Strikes with the ghost touch property rune), with double the resistance against non-magical damage.

 

Trait

Spirit

Spirits are ephemeral creatures defined by their spiritual self and often lacking a physical form.

 

Trait

Undead

Once living, these creatures were infused after death with negative energy and soul-corrupting evil magic. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, an undead creature is destroyed. Undead creatures are damaged by positive energy, are healed by negative energy, and don't benefit from healing effects.
