Why isn't Wight a Template?

[Wolffenjugend]

If wights transform their victims (slain with energy drain) into wights, then why isn't there a template? i.e. like vampires.

If you've got some musclebound 20th-lvl fighter who changes into a wight, he immediately becomes a wimp...

I thinks its because a wight loses it memory of its former life, and solely exists to create murder and mayhem.

Also, the 20-level fighter who succumbs to a wights level draining ability has already forgotten how to BE a 20-level fighter.

Well...there's a Wraith template in Savage Species. I THINK there's also one for Wights.

Before... and after he dies.

I just remembered, Andy Collins made up a wight template.

Wights, along with Wraiths, Spectres, and Mummies, are templates in Savage Species.

Monte Cook published on his web site Templates for Ghouls and Ghasts.

There is a barrow wight template in the Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary (I wrote that entry) and I believe in the Slayer's Guide to Undead and a Dragon Magazine article as well.

Ah... would mention Savage Species, but someone already did.

Well, that's that then.

Wasn't there a wight dragon on the WotC boards long long time ago?
