While this is true, it can also be true that a ghost (of any rank) also possesses an Undying Soul, by nature of existence. Literally speaking. But when it comes to mechanically applying this particular SQ, I'd use it sparingly, and only on higher-ranked ghosts.Rotipher wrote:Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is something we can accurately apply to interpreting ghosts' abilities in general. This sounds far more like one of Tristen's powers as a darklord -- even the special quality's name is exactly the same as we find in other darklords whose spirits migrate to another host-body upon defeat, like Hazlik or Harkon Lukas, IIRC -- than as a ghostly power inherent in his (already unique) creature-type.
Final Rest (Van Richten's Arsenal, page 125) still applies to the ghost of course, as it does each and every Dark Lord, in their own unique way.
Like I said, it's just an alternative to a merging of souls (the Malevolence SA). A scary alternative indeed...
One-up the ghost! :twisted:
