Ability

Power of the Haunt

If a geist is within 100 feet of a haunt that isn't disabled or destroyed, they gain a +2 status bonus to AC and saving throws and deal an additional 1d6 negative damage with bite Strikes. A creature that succeeds at a DC 20 check to Seek or Recall Knowledge about the geist sees that the tendrils from the geist's cloak grow thicker and more agitated the closer it gets to the haunt.

 

Ability

Terrifying Laugh

Frequency: once per minute

Effect: The geist unleashes soul-piercing laughter in a 20-foot emanation, lasting until the beginning of their next turn. Any creature in the area or entering it must succeed at a DC 26 Will save or be overcome with panicked laughter, becoming frightened 2 (or frightened 3 on a critical failure). A creature attempts only one save per Terrifying Laugh, and a creature that succeeds on its saving throw is temporarily immune for 24 hours.

 

Ability

Wrath of the Haunt

Circumstance: The geist is within 100 feet of an active haunt; Frequency: once per round

The haunt feeds necromantic power into the geist, becoming inactive until the end of the geist's next turn and deactivating the power of the haunt aura until the haunt becomes active again. The edges of the geist's cloak transform into whip-like tendrils that lash out at nearby creatures. Any living creature within 10 feet of the geist takes 4d10 slashing damage plus 4d6 negative damage (DC 28 basic Reflex save).

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

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.
