The wyrmwraith loses the incorporeal trait for 1d4 rounds, though they can return to their incorporeal form as a free action before then. Once this ability ends, the wyrmwraith can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds. While in their ectoplasmic form, the wyrmwraith's AC increases to 52 and they gain 125 temporary Hit Points. They lose their immunity to precision damage and all of their resistances. Their melee Strikes deal slashing and piercing damage, respectively, instead of negative damage.Phase Lurch [one-action] (divine, move) Requirements The wyrmwraith is in their ectoplasmic form; Effect As the Stride action, but the wyrmwraith can pass through walls or material obstacles as though they were incorporeal. They must begin and end their movement outside of any physical obstacles, and passing through solid material is difficult terrain

The most powerful wyrmwraiths survive for millennia, typically by hiding in remote caverns or wastelands and enacting their far-reaching plots through proxies. Some elder wyrmwraiths dedicate themselves to the pursuit of learning, but they typically only crave knowledge that grants advantages against their enemies.
