First character I ever played was in a 2e Mystara game running Wrath of the Immortals (WotI). I think it took us about three years real-time to finish that, and then the campaign continued on for another couple years. I look back now with some amusement that my 2nd(?) level character got handed...

I know this was not likely your intention, but I will thank you for the chuckle your response gave me. 🙂 —- I was thinking in terms of the RC’s non-corporeal and not undead…so not really poltergeisting the place. How is this for a fantastic alternative: a magic effect that causes a PC’s shadow...
