Fogborn Template

Fogborn are undead native to Flame’s Rest, an island in Lach Gwyren’s permanently covered by fog. Atop an ancient tower at its center is the magical silver flame which gives the island its name, a phenomena that bears great weight upon the undead that roam across it. Legends claim the silver flame keeps the undead bound to the island, the monsters only able to escape when the magical barrier is broken. In any event the undead of Flame’s Rest have not been seen in a century, though who would know—with how they float across the water and appear from the fog, few can escape their clutches.

Any undead can become a fogborn. A fogborn retains all its statistics and gains the following traits.

Fogwalk. The fogborn ignores difficult terrain and damaging effects from terrain as long as its movement takes it in a direct horizontal path and ends in an unoccupied space able to support it.

In addition, when the fogborn enters or leaves a square the area becomes lightly obscured by fog that lasts until the start of the fogborn’s next turn.

Water Walker. The fogborn gains a swim speed equal to its Speed, and it can move across water as if it were solid ground.
