Specters

They say that the Ancients walked the world long ago, and they have left only their ruins to our generation. I do no believe this could be further from the truth. They walk among us alright, for they have become ghosts. That Great Collapse has done damage well beyond the confines of our little material corner of the universe.

Overview

Specters, most commonly ghosts, are commonly found in or around ancient ruins. They are widely believed to be the souls of those whose spirits were unable to leave our material realm. They now lurk in the ancient ruins of once living cities. Other kinds of specters can be visitors from the other side, restless spirits unable to let go of their former lives. Still others are visitors from other planes of existence.
Simple swords and spears will wound specters only when they have manifested themselves at a sufficient level. Else, a blade will pass through the specter harmlessly.
Most kinds of specters are difficult to provoke, but others purposefully search for a victim- sometimes having a specific target in mind.
