Combat
Wyldgeists do not make physical attacks in their natural form
and ignore physical attacks made on them in this form, unless
the attacks bypass their damage reduction. Their first action will
always be to find a dead creature and bond with its fled spirit.
If the wyldgeist already possesses such a form, it immediately
attacks to drive out the defilers of the forest it protects.
Spiritbind (Su): Wyldgeists have the ability to form a
bond with the fled spirit of a dead creature. As a full-round
action, the wyldgeist dissolves the dead creature’s flesh and
replaces it with its own body and will. Using the dead
creatures natural weaponry (or other weapons, if
any), it attacks those who have intruded upon
its domain. No supernatural, extraordinary,
spells, or spell-like
abilities are absorbed
in the transferal.
The
wyldgeist
uses the
speed rating
and mode of
movement of
the bonded
creature,
but retains
its own ability
scores and saves. It
can maintain this form indefinitely if not defeated in combat.
A wyldgeist in this form uses the damage rating of the
creature’s weaponry (the longsword of a fallen warrior, for
example), but uses its own attack bonus (+3 for melee and +4
for ranged). It always functions as proficient with the attack
form it uses, a result of the bond formed with the fallen host.
It also adds any bonuses from armor the host may have been
wearing (i.e., add +5 to AC if it acquired a breastplate).
A wyldgeist defeated (reduced to 0 or fewer hit points)
in this form is not slain. It simply sinks into the earth to heal
itself to the point where it can once again bond with a host. It
heals at a rate of 1 hit point per day. There is no known way to
destroy a wyldgeist permanently.
Acidic Mist (Su): Although not hostile in its natural form,
the wyldgeist’s body is composed of an acidic mist that begins
to dissolve flesh after one full round of contact. 2d4 acid damage,
Fortitude DC 15 half. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Gaseous Form (Ex): Since its base form is composed of
mist, a wyldgeist not bonded to a physical host share some
of the characteristics of a creature in gaseous form, passing
through small holes and narrow openings and having damage
reduction 10/magic.
207
Immune to Mental Influence (Ex): Wyldgeists are unaffected
my mind-influencing effects (charms, compulsions,
phantasms, and morale effects).
Skills: Wyldgeists have a +4 racial bonus on Search checks.
Treasure
Once it is defeated, any gear or treasure that the wyldgeist had
taken through spiritbinding will be left behind for the taking.
Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: None.
Wyldgeist
UNCoMMoN: Wyldgeists are warrior ghosts attracted to feelings
of greed and envy.
RARE: When the wyldgeists are not active, their physical trappings
are secreted away inside of earthen mounds in the deepest
reaches of the forest.
obSCURE: A little known tale claims that the wyldgeists are
not ghosts at all but rather servitors of the Green Man, the
legendary guardian of the forests of northern Immoren. They
are a manifestation of the Green Man’s power, taking root in
a fallen being’s psyche, although seemingly the spirit of the
deceased has since departed.
