Venture 4th Pact of Ghosts.pdf

By Stefen Styrsky

When a creature dies, its soul passes beyond the

realms of the living into unknown planes. However,

either from sheer tenacity, a misapprehension of

their true state, or a need to inish some uncompleted

business many spirits refuse to make this inal journey.

Mortals know these itinerant souls as ghosts, shades

or fetches. Whatever the term, these beings exist in

a half-world between corporeal reality and the cold,

invisible realm of the dead.

LEVEL 1 AT-WILL SPELL

Howling Echoes

Warlock (Ghost) Attack 1

Crying with unearthly pain, the spirits of the dead rise

at your command and circle about your foe. Even

after the phantoms dissipate, their moans haunt your

enemy.

At-Will*Arcane, Fear, Implement, Psychic

Standard Action

Ranged 10

Target: One creature

Attack: Charisma vs. Will

Hit: 1d6 + Charisma modiier psychic damage, and

the target must roll twice for the next attack it makes

before the end of the encounter, taking the lower

result.

Increase the damage to 2d6 + Charisma modiier

psychic damage at 21 st level, and the target takes a -2

penalty to its lowest die roll.

You have forged a pact with these spirits. You can

call upon their special nature to phase through solid

objects, drain foes of life energy, and torment the

living with mind-blasting sounds and images.

Howling Echoes: You know the howling echoes at-

will spell.

Dark Descent: You have the dark descent pact

boon. When an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse

is reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, the passage of the

foe’s spirit from the material world draws you with

it as well. Your body phases in and out of the ghostly

realm. Until the start of your next turn you can choose

one attack that hits you to occur just as you phase out

of corporeal existence. If you roll a successful saving

throw, the attack deals no damage. You must decide to

use this ability before damage is rolled.

This beneit can only be used once before the start of

your next turn, no matter how many foes under your

Warlock’s Curse are reduced to 0 hit points or fewer.
