Abilities

Grave Weapon (divine) — The wight is bound to a dagger it was buried with. Other wights can be bound to different weapons.
Final Spite
Fueled by Spite — Each time a creature loses Hit Points due to a corrupting spite curse the wight inflicted, the wight gains 3 temporary Hit Points.
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Corrupting Spite (curse, divine, void) — The wight's unarmed attacks and bound weapons inflict a curse that makes a creature grow weak and spiteful. If a wight inflicts corrupting spite on a creature already afflicted by it, the victim attempts a new save, ignoring the result if it's better than a failure. A living humanoid that dies while under the curse rises as a wight after 1d4 rounds, controlled by the wight that killed it. The wight spawn can't inflict corrupting spite and is Clumsy 2. If its creator dies or after roughly a month of existence, the new wight becomes autonomous and turns into a normal wight Saving Throw DC 17 Fortitude; Stage 1 Drained 1 (1 round) Stage 2 Drained 2 and doesn't treat any creatures as allies (1 round) Stage 3 As stage 2, except Drained 3 (1 round) Stage 4 As stage 2, except Drained 4 (1 round).
