Obeah-Man
An obeah-man is a priest of the spirits that are inherent in all things. They seek to use, appease, and learn the lore of these spirits in order to achieve their goals.
Role
An obeah-man is a master of the undead, especially zombies and other unnatural life, as well as a medium to speak with the natural spirits of the land. He is a healer and a destroyer depending upon his alignment. He both serves and is served by the spirits - letting them inhabit dead bodies, protecting them, and in return receiving aid and instruction from them. Obeah-men look at spirits much like druids look at animals… they believe they are unique creatures which must be cared for and propagated. Obeah-Men have a hard time relating to others who live; they much prefer the company of the dead as, they believe, it is a much more natural form.
