Mortal Ghost

Congratulations! You’ve lived a full and complete life and earned the eternal rest that you deserve. Unfortunately, there has been a little mix up at the Office of the Registrar for the Dead and Undying and your death certificate is…missing. Fortunately, you are free to continue “living” in your current state until we can locate your paperwork or you die again, whichever comes first. 

POSSESSIONS

None, you can’t take it with you. 

ADVANCED SKILLS

1 Fly

1 Second sight

1 Slight of hand

2 Sneak

3 Spell - Fear

2 Spell - Possession (4 - The target must Test Their Luck (Skill for enemies) or the player inhabits their body. On the player’s turn they may use any of the target’s abilities but none of their own. All damage done to the target also harms the player. At the end of the player’s turn, they must Test Their Luck to continue possessing the target.)

SPECIAL

Despite the fact that you are clearly a ghost, you are quite capable of dying again, for real this time…probably. Your semi-incorporeal nature grants a permanent armor value of 2 but reduces all healing by half. 

Use your last Troika! character, roll or select a background for your past life. You retain no knowledge or abilities and only hazy remembrances from that time.
