Sinister Baleful Apparition

“Dread Unleashed: Witness the Horrors of Baleful Apparition – Can Your Party Survive the Supernatural Assault of Ghastly Images and Unearth the Haunting Secrets Within?”

Bile seeps up from floorboards while horrific images of bloody claws or the gasping faces of drowned victims fade into view and back out again. Such are the haunts that infest torture chambers, ruined castles, and secluded, swampy groves.

Baleful Apparition (CR 6)

XP 2,400 CE haunt (30-ft.-by-30-ft. chamber) Caster Level 6th Notice Perception DC 18 (to feel an ominous presence) hp 12; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 hour

EFFECT

Victims of a baleful apparition are subject to disturbing supernatural images. Mirrors reflect bloody visages, shadows coalesce into terrifying monstrosities, horrifying spectres wail, or decaying maidens plead for help. The unnatural happening targets all witnesses with a fear spell (save DC 16).

DESTRUCTION

The resonance of lingering psychic trauma, these images are usually the result of ethereal residue rather than a specific restless spirit, and can be dismissed with a hallow spell.
