Floating Corpses

A smog wraith's victims are imbued with an eerie buoyancy; corpses of such creatures float up to 30 feet in the air while inside the wraith's noxious smog aura, though the wraith has no control over the corpse's movement.

Lifesense 60 feet

Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the vitality energy animating living creatures and the void energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.

+1 Status to All Saves vs. VitalityNoxious Smog (aura, poison)

30 feet. Creatures within the aura are Concealed, and creatures outside the aura are concealed to creatures within it. A creature that ends its turn within the aura must attempt a DC 25 fortitude save.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is Sickened 1.

Failure The creature is sickened 1 and Slowed 1 while within the cloud.

Critical Failure The creature is Sickened 2 and slowed 1 while within the cloud.

Sunlight Powerlessness

A smog wraith caught in sunlight is Stunned 2 and Clumsy 2.

Void Healing

A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Smog Wraith Spawn

A living humanoid slain by a smog wraith's noxious hand Strike rises as a smog wraith spawn after 1d4 rounds. This spawn is under the command of the smog wraith that killed it. It doesn't have noxious smog or smog wraith spawn and becomes Clumsy 2 for as long as it's a smog wraith spawn. If the creator of the spawn dies, the spawn becomes a full-fledged, autonomous smog wraith; it regains its free will, gains smog wraith spawn and noxious smog, and is no longer clumsy.

Clouds of choking fumes and toxic smog continuously shroud these potent undead. They constantly belch forth noxious vapors and find great humor in the death of creatures too weak to resist their vile fumes. These fetid vapors are so dense the corpses of a smog wraith's victims can float among them.

Though it's possible to create smog wraiths through necromancy, most are the result of industrialists, inventors, and polluters who in life relished opportunities to exploit nature for profit, power, or prestige. In death, these wretched souls can rise as smog wraiths to continue their spoliation.

Traits

Uncommon

Something of uncommon rarity requires special training or comes from a particular culture or part of the world. Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.

Incorporeal

An incorporeal creature or object has no physical form. It can pass through solid objects, including walls. When inside an object, an incorporeal creature can't perceive, attack, or interact with anything outside the object, and if it starts its turn in an object, it is slowed 1 until the end of its turn. A corporeal and an incorporeal creature can pass through one another, but they can't end their movement in each other's space. An incorporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against physical creatures or objects—only against incorporeal ones—unless those objects have the ghost touch property rune. Likewise, a corporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against incorporeal creatures or objects. Incorporeal creatures usually have immunity to effects or conditions that require a physical body, like disease, poison, and precision damage. They usually have resistance against all damage (except force damage, spirit damage, and damage from Strikes with the ghost touch property rune), with double the resistance against non-magical damage.

Undead

Once living, these creatures were infused after death with void energy and soul-corrupting unholy magic. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, an undead creature is destroyed. Undead creatures are damaged by vitality energy and are healed by void energy, and don't benefit from healing vitality effects.

Unholy

Effects with the unholy trait are tied to powerful magical forces of cruelty and sin. They often have stronger effects on holy creatures. Creatures with this trait are strongly devoted to unholy causes, and often have weakness to holy. If a creature with weakness to unholy uses an unholy item or effect, it takes damage from its weakness.

Wraith

A wraith is an incorporeal undead creature infused with void energy and driven by a hatred of all life.
