Wraith
Creature 6 — incorporeal, undead, unholy, wraith
SnareCrasherAERIALundeadunholy
Wraiths are malevolent undead who drain life and shun light. Their shadowy forms are covered by insubstantial robes that they wear like a badge of office and marked with peering eyes that reflect their judgment of the living. A wraith can be created by foul magic or direct exposure to the Void, but more often they are the result of death on a tragic scale. When a tragedy is too great for even reality to witness, a temporary manifestation of the Void can leave behind countless wraiths in a horde

Abilities
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.
Sunlight Powerlessness — While in sunlight, a wraith is Blinded and Slowed 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.
Grip of Fear (emotion, fear, mental, nonlethal) — The wraith reaches into an adjacent creature's chest, gripping their heart. The target takes 6d6 mental damage with a DC 24 Will save. On a critical failure, the creature is also Paralyzed until the start of the wraith's next turn.
Robes of Welcome (divine, void) — Frequency once per round
Effect The wraith wraps its robes around an adjacent living creature, exposing it to void's embrace. If any creature is cursed by the wraith's void's embrace, the wraith can't impose void's embrace on another creature.

Void's Embrace (curse, death, divine, void) — If the victim succeeds at a saving throw against this curse while in sunlight, the curse ends. While you have this curse, you bypass the resistance of the wraith that cursed you.
