Ghosts: A Revision [PEACH]

[Kyeudo]

Well, that seems harsh.

That's actually part of the original rules

[PlotVitalNPC]

Is there anything in particular that happens right off the bat if a ghost finds themself without any passions/fetters?

On the one hand I want to read this in full right now to see if it gives me ideas for the city I am writing now, on the other hand I really want to finish this...

Lethe and reincarnation, as those are the things holding a soul out of actually doing so as a ghost.

One enjoyable read I found here, thanks!

A little question: how do Grave Goods behave after being designated to new rightful owner? I mean, do they keep regenerative ties to panoply for new ovner, are they affected by grave-robers looting corpse of its original owner, etc.

Ghost-Trapping Shroud (2, Attribute, 3, one hour) - was this "free-for-all" attribute intentional?

From a story standpoint, yeah.
What I see in the thing itself is just that they'd lack a virtue-alike, lack the means to heal agg, and be more vulnerable than normal to Lethe.

Other than the mechanical things you already mentioned above? The ghost will have a very hard time regaining Willpower, which will greatly restrict him in using his more potent Charms.

I've read your city finally and I don't think these rules will change anything about your city. These are fairly backwards compatible.

Well, that seems harsh.

Considering that simple failure sends you to Lethe, which is essentially permanent character death, Oblivion is only slightly more screwed than normal.

If you give a grave good to another ghost, it's as though the new owner was the one with whom the item was originally buried. If I didn't call this out well enough in the rules, I'll have to make that more clear. This would mean that a grave robber removing the original from the grave would cause the grave good to disappear.

Ghost-Trapping Shroud is meant to be based on Manipulation. Thanks for catching those typos for me. I'll get that those fixed in the next version.
