Ghosts 01

Here are four of the ghosts found in the N.O.W. supplement, Ghostbreakers:Spirits of Manhattan.

At the far left is Emeline Holt, an empathic 135 year old half-ghost drifter who seeks true love. Emeline was once a school teacher in the quiet rural town of Harper's Hollow, who enjoyed teaching children of all ages. She fell in love with a local man, Edward Barry, who promised he'd return from his trip to the city to marry her. She waited for his return in a storm and died of exposure. That was 1876. As a ghost, she chose to seek Edward and came to New York hoping to find her one true love. She was one of the first ghosts that Dr. Wheeler tried the anti-plasm particle accelerator on - though they worked too well and Emeline is completely corporeal now. Not "alive" but solid and unable to move on. She has difficulty with modern technology, but is learning how to answer the "telephone" and assign the Ghostbreakers team to their emergency call-outs. Despite being 135 years old, she has the appearance of a young woman in her late twenties. She is rank grade:5 with 5d6. Her figure is a Wargames Foundry Victorian Lady, which I bought very recently.

The other three ghosts are enemy NPCs with the following properties. Flight. Spirits can freely fly, although many are locked into old habits and do not. Incorporeal. This means that they can pass through solid objects, and are immune to all forms of damage except for anti-plasm and holy damage. Immortal. Spirits cannot be killed. If you can somehow reduce them to 0  HEALTH (by using anti-plasm weapons) they gain the Restrained condition until their HEALTH rises above 0 again. Senses. Spirits have superior dark-sight and life-sense to a distance of 5' per point of INT.
First up is a Grim Reaper, a class 9 (9d6) free-roaming full torso apparition with the True Death exploit. When the Grim Reaper reduces a target to 0 HEALTH, it dies instantly. This figure came from the Horrorclix Basic Set range of figures.
Next in line is a Shrieker, a class 6 (6d6) medium sentient spirit with the Ear-splitting Scream exploit. The Shrieker lets out a shriek in a Cone 3 which does 3d6 sonic damage. This figure also came from the Horrorclix Basic Set range of figures.
Finally, is a Slime Bucket, a class 4 (4d6) free-roaming repeating vapour with the Slimer exploit. The Slime Bucket makes a melee attack, coating its victim in disgusting, caustic slime. This causes 2d6 acid damage and inflicts the Restrained condition. This figure was produced by Crooked Dice Games and costs £4.00 from their webstore.
