[QUOTE="Altamont Ravenard, post: 1949661, member: 14700"] Hm, well, personnaly, I'd have a hard time justifying evocation spells if you want to make a "ghost" character. I could perhaps see spontaneous combustion, or the surrounding temperature dropping by several degrees, but not [i]fireball[/i] or [i]cone of cold[/i]... (well, actually, [i]cold[/i] spells could work, I guess... so you could take the Energy Substitution (cold) feat...) Note that I didn't have the MM ghost in mind when I made the list. I thought about the usual paranormal phenomenons, and put ghosts, hauting spirits, poltergeists, etc. in the same pot. Spell thematics could be a good idea, if there are enough spells to be affected. What I mean is when I look at the list I produced, a lot of spells don't have visual effects, so the feat might be lost a bit. You'll want to have spells that can make you [i]look[/i] like a ghost (disguise self, invisibility, gaseous form, blur, etc.) but ghost powers, IMO, rarely have visual manifestations. From Complete Arcane, you might want to look into the following feats: - Necropolis born - Night haunt - Lord of the Uttercold Hope this helps! AR [/QUOTE]
