A Pishacha is a flesh-eating spirit that haunts cremation grounds, ruins, and places where fear has separated people from one another. It whispers in broken voices, distorts its shape, and may enter a vulnerable body to speak through it. Pishachas prefer impurity, secrecy, and social isolation; clean ritual space and companions who refuse abandonment deny them much of their power.
Special Attack
Whispered Possession: one weary or frightened creature within 20 ft makes a Mind save. On a failure, the Pishacha controls its movement until the end of its next turn.
Special Defense
Circle of Companions: a creature adjacent to two allies gains +2 Mind against Whispered Possession. Consecrated fire removes the Pishacha's DR without increasing its damage.
