[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9140222, member: 57383"] Guess I'll [b][color=blue]blue[/color][/b] the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/8860967']Cairn Shadowraith Working Draft[/URL][/B] then. How's this for the rest: [indent][B][SIZE=6]Description[/SIZE][/B] A spectral figure several times taller than a man and completely without color, ranging from the gloomy grey of a shadow to the utter blackness of a sealed tomb, a cairn shadowraith is a wraith-like undead stone giant. It always looks like it's been dead for decades, if not centuries, no matter its age. [I][B]Phantom Flesh & Shadowy Bones.[/B][/I] The appearance and substance of a cairn shadowraith is uncannily mutable. One moment it could be an insubstantial ghostly skeleton, the next a full-fleshed mummy with skin as hard as rock. In darkness it becomes a nigh invisible shadow. This unnatural state of being, neither corporeal not incorporeal, allows a cairn shadowraith to reach an insubstantial hand inside a victim and tear apart their life force, even if the target is outside the shadowraith's physical reach. Shadowraiths can also condense shadow-stuff into rocks to hurl at their enemies or play catch with their peers.
