About

Most folks are afraid of the denizens of the undead world. However, the friendly ghost only has good intentions. This creature is destined to remain in the mortal realm and assist others. They are often found in old castles or spacious manors.

Good Ghost. These ghosts were good-aligned creatures when they died. They know they have more work to do and go about it in a humble fashion.

Protective Nature. Friendly ghosts will always protect any non-evil creatures close to them. They will even seek out those individuals who are in danger.

This can complicate matters as those being protected don’t always know the ghost’s motives.

Undead Nature. A friendly ghost doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
