Haunts are a form of ghost. Haunts are spirits that decided to stay spirits for a very specific reason: to make some mortal's life miserable. If an individual becomes the target of a haunt, the haunt will use all the tricks it has learned to make life unbearable for them. If any breaks occur in this harassment, it will be so that the haunt can go to learn other spells and tricks to further haunt the individual. The haunt does not seek to kill, only to torment. Many of the targets of haunts, in time, become poor, unfortunate, babbling wretched individuals that walk the street swearing and striking at the air. Haunts themselves are spirits that have become addicted to this form of sadism an are, in fact, desperately wretched themselves. If a haunt is destroyed, a stroke of 'good luck' will follow that will last 6 months. Depending on the state of the victim of the haunt, curing from this level of abuse may be impossible.
Because haunts expend all of their energy tormenting, they spend very little time learning and therefore grow at a much slower pace than the other spirits around. Haunts may have a level in magic experience and some, at the most, may have two. They have a basic understanding of manipulating their physical environment. They can make sound and push small objects.
Haunts may punch or kick for up to 3 points of damage. This method of attack is draining on the haunt and may only be performed once per minute. Haunts may become invisible and inaudible at will. Give any individual attacking a haunt a -10 modifier to their strikeroll.
As with all other ghosts, strictly material objects do no damage to haunts. However, magical weaponry will do normal damage to them. Spells will do their normal amounts of damage if the force causing the damage is magical (i.e. a rock telekinetically thrown at a haunt will do no damage.) All ghosts can function well at anytime of day in any climate.
