HAUNTED Haunted environs include homes burdened by dark deeds, the sites of mass killings, and locations where individuals died while experiencing powerful fear, sorrow, or hatred. Haunted places bear echoes of the past and, like ghosts, harass visitors even as they seek respite from age-old traumas. Few places are meaninglessly haunted, and you can easily customize the general results on the following table to suit all manner of macabre tales. Consider rolling on the Haunted Effects table when the following circumstances occur in the region: • A creature gains the frightened condition. • Multiple creatures are unable to see. • A creature is alone. • Midnight or another ominous hour arrives. • A ghost or other creature tied to the region's grim history menaces the party. HAUNTED EFFECTS d100 Effect 01-05 A violent thunderstorm begins, centered over the region.

Sources that provide dim light, such as candles, do not shed any light. 21-25 The temperature in the region drops by 10 degrees Fahrenheit every hour for the next 1d6 hours, after which the temperature returns to normal.

The creature or someone else can free it with a successful DC 13 Strength (Athletics) check. 41-45 One random creature in the region is targeted by the levitate spell (save DC 15) for 1 minute. 46-50 A nonviolent but unsettling ghost-perhaps a pet, an accident-prone child, or a dismembered big toe-appears and follows one random creature for 24 hours before vanishing. The ghost vanishes if reduced to O hit points. 51-55 One player character's appearance changes for the next 24 hours to reflect the region's haunted history. For example, they might manifest the distinctive facial scar associated with a notorious tyrant who died in the region. 56-60 For the next 24 hours, any humanoid killed in the region rapidly decomposes and rises as a skeleton 1dl0 minutes after dying. 61-65 Over the next 24 hours, whenever any creature is wounded, its blood (or similar fluid) spreads to form a short message or grisly tableau. 66-70 A spirit inhabits one character's simple or martial weapon, making it a sentient magic item until the character leaves the region. Randomly generate the item's properties as described in the "Sentient Magic Items" section of the Dungeon Master's Guide. 71-75 A spectral force manifests to one character in the region, allowing them to ask one question and receive a short answer as through the augury spell.
