Back from it, they can see and interact with the spirits of the dead. The abilities gained with this class are cool, such as: - Ghost companion (a third level character, with the ghost template, as friend. This ghost has of course its own personality and is free willed. At higher level, telepathic link is gained – see the netbook for details);- Sense Electromagnetic Disruptions – in short: feel if a ghost is present or was present in the area in the last three days;- Identify haunt – in short, get information about a ghost.Three new feats are well explained and balanced.The class is followed by a ghost template. This template is fun and some of its abilities could give a cool twist to your next ghost apparition: adjust temperature, corrupting gaze, corrupting touch, etc.Then the book ends with a NPC, Marion K Bassett, a d20 Modern hero that has her show on TV. With some adaptation about the media (replace TV by newspaper) and background, this NPC could be an interesting MotRD NPC.I think the book as highly recommended: the class is far from being overpowered, and could be easily be integrated in a Ravenloft campaign. It would made a cool NPC, and hey, even a PC. What I like a lot is that role playing opportunities are endless with the class.</blockquote>
