Ghost special powers

[Doc_Souark]

I need to make a Ghost for a d20 game in a few weeks, I know what I want for it I've found/created the SP for her. Anyway it seems like I just found something like 14 or so supernatul powers for ghosts. The ones in the MM, critters of Feraun and the d20 Ravenloft book. Does anyone know of any more in print or do you have your own ?

Btw besides Manifestion it'll have Telekeintics, Ghost writing( in RL), and phantom Smell( the made up one)

Phantom Smell(su) Like the spell Stench in SSS's spells and Spellcraft, the phantom can manifest any smell from fresh baked bread to rotting human flesh.

There aren't any more that I know of, but you could invent your own (as you did). I would probably change the name though (just a personal preference) to something like "Incorporeal Stench" or "Ethereal Stench"


Also- check the Apparition and Banshee in the Creature Catalog. YOu could use the banshee's wail (wail of the banshee spell) or the apparition's suggestive death touch ability.

Some In Oriental Adventures

There are some suggested in Oriental Adventures, like causing diseases, energy drain, a laughter of madness that does temporary intelligence and wisdom damage, vampiric touch (as the spell), and a withering palm touch attack, spell resistance, and energy resistance and immunity. Oriental Adventures also lists a few common types of Oriental ghosts. You could feasibly have the ghost drain other ability scores, too, ala other undead. A special ghoul touch attack, as per the spell, might go well with your ghost with that phantom spell ability you have.

The Ghost I was wanting to use was the housekeeper at one time and is more kindly then your usale ghost. At least to the heir of the Manor who'll be a NPCs the PCs hopefully will have with them. So some of the more violent and or death dealing abilities would be out of her character thus the more easy going SAs that I gave her. But I think y'all for the other ideas to.

Not so harmful, more subtle powers. There are some more powers that could be used by a ghost suggested in the Ravenloft monster book Denizens of Darkness listed under the Geist template, like Aura of Despair, the ghost displaying itself as per major image spell. or phantom shifting (making people on the prime experiencing ethereal resonance as if the events were really occurring. Perhaps the ghost might make live some of the experiences it went through when he/she was alive, sort of like a magical virtual reality.
