Combat
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a vengeful geist must hit with its touch attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold.
Lifequench (Su): A vengeful geist that begins its turn pinning an opponent engulfs that opponent with its hair, forcing them to make a DC 35 will save to avoid being slain instantly. An opponent that makes the save instead gains 2d4 negative levels (as the energy drain spell).
Energy Drain: Living creatures hit by a vengeful geist's touch attack gain two negative levels. The DC is 35 for the fortitude save to remove a negative level. The save DC is Charisma-based. For each such negative level bestowed, the vengeful geist gains 5 temporary hit points, and for every two such levels, it gains a +1 circumstance bonus on grapple checks against that opponent for 1 minute.
Greater Finesse (Ex): Vengeful geists are terrifyingly nimble, and can apply their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier to grapple checks.
Terror (Su): Target opponent within 30 ft. of the vengeful geist becomes paralyzed with fear for 2d6 rounds (Will DC 35 negates).
Curse Mark (Su): As a free action, a vengeful geist can afflict a creature within 20 ft. with a curse mark. The vengeful geist always the general location of a marked creature, provided it is within 50 miles of the marked creature, and may scry on a marked creature twice per day, with the marked creature recieving a -15 penalty on its Will save against the scrying.
