For those mortals who cannot abide the thought of separation from their earthly possessions, the undead existence offered by transformation into a cairn wight can be tempting. Perhaps as frequently, particularly avaricious and wealthy royalty or merchants seek out victims to transform into cairn wights to guard their precious wealth for all time. Only in the rarest instances is the greed of a mortal strong enough to spontaneously transform them into a cairn wight without a dark ritual or the intercession of a powerful divine being. On those occasions, however, the resultant wight exhibits unmatched viciousness and likely owns rare treasure indeed. As guardians of material possessions, cairn wights are supernaturally bound to the armaments they wore during the ritual used to create them. They can spread their necromantic powers into the weapons they wield. A slash from a cairn wight''s sword channels life from the victim into the wight. **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 21' hp: 67 hp_misc: null immunities: - death effects - disease - paralyzed - poison - unconscious items: - longsword - studded leather armor languages: - Common - Necril level: 4 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d8+7 type: slashing name: longsword plus_damage: - formula: null type: drain life to_hit: 14 traits: - versatile P - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d6+7 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: - formula: null type: drain life to_hit: 14 traits: - agile name: Cairn Wight perception: 11 ranged_attacks: null rarity: Uncommon saves: fort: 12 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 10 ref_misc: null will: 11 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision size: Medium skills: - bonus: 12 misc: null name: Athletics - bonus: 11 misc: null name: Intimidation - bonus: 9 misc: null name: Religion - bonus: 12 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '292' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 25 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - Undead - Wight
