Wraiths are [[SRD:Incorporeal|incorporeal]] creatures born of evil and darkness. In some cases, the grim silhouette of a wraith might appear armored or outfitted with weapons. This appearance does not affect the creature’s [[SRD:AC|AC]] or combat abilities but only reflects the shape it had in life.

A wraith is about as tall as a human, while a dread wraith is roughly the size of an [[SRD:Ogre|ogre]]. Since both are [[SRD:Incorporeal|incorporeal]], they are weightless.

Wraiths speak Common and Infernal.

===Combat===

'''Unnatural Aura ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' [[SRD:Animal Type|Animals]], whether wild or domesticated, can sense the unnatural presence of a wraith at a distance of 30 feet. They will not willingly approach nearer than that and panic if forced to do so; they remain [[SRD:Panicked|panicked]] as long as they are within that range.

'''Daylight Powerlessness ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Wraiths are utterly powerless in natural sunlight (not merely a ''[[SRD:Daylight|daylight]]'' spell) and flee from it.  

'''[[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] Drain ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Living creatures hit by a wraith’s [[SRD:Incorporeal|incorporeal]] [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 14 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or take 1d6 points of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] drain. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based. On each such successful attack, the wraith gains 5 [[SRD:Temporary Hit Points|temporary hit points]].

'''Create Spawn ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] slain by a wraith becomes a wraith in 1d4 rounds. Its body remains intact and inanimate, but its spirit is torn free from its corpse and transformed. Spawn are under the [[SRD:Command|command]] of the wraith that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
