Natural Invisibility A poltergeist is naturally invisible. It becomes visible only when it uses Frighten.Rejuvenation (necromancy, occult) When a poltergeist is destroyed, it re-forms, fully healed, where it was destroyed after 2d4 days. These Saggorak poltergeists no longer rejuvenate once King Harral no longer exists as an undead ruler of Saggorak.Telekinetic Defense [reaction] Trigger A creature approaches within 10 feet of the poltergeist. Effect The poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike against the triggering creature.
Speed fly 30 feet
Ranged [one-action] telekinetic object +15 [+10/+5] (evocation, magical, occult, range increment 60 feet), Damage 4d12 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing (depending on object)Occult Innate Spells DC 21, attack +15; 6th telekinetic haul (at will), telekinetic maneuver (at will); Cantrips (6th) mage hand
Frighten [one-action] (concentrate, emotion, fear, incapacitation, mental) Requirement The poltergeist must be invisible. Effect The poltergeist becomes visible, appearing as a skeletal, ghostlike humanoid. Each creature within 30 feet must attempt a DC 21 Will save, becoming frightened 2 on a failure. On a critical failure, it's also fleeing for as long as it's frightened. On a success, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute. At the start of its next turn, the poltergeist becomes invisible again.Telekinetic Storm [two-actions] (concentrate, evocation, occult) The poltergeist telekinetically throws numerous small and jagged chunks of stone rubble, either spreading them out among multiple foes or directing them at one target.
  • When this effect is spread out among multiple foes, the poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike at a –2 penalty against each creature within 30 feet. These count as one attack for the poltergeist's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after all the attacks.
  • When this effect has only one target, the poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike against the target, and the damage increases to 6d12. It deals 2d12 damage on a failure, and no damage on a critical failure.
