Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Site Bound

A poltergeist is tied to a location and can't travel more than 120 feet from the place where it was created or formed. Some poltergeists are instead bound to a specific room, building, or similar area

At-Will Spells

The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.

Natural Invisibility

A poltergeist is naturally Invisible. It becomes visible only when it uses Frighten.

Rejuvenation (necromancy, occult)

When a poltergeist is destroyed, it re-forms, fully healed, where it was destroyed after 2d4 days. A poltergeist can be permanently destroyed only if someone determines the reason for its existence and sets right whatever prevents the spirit from resting.

Telekinetic Defense

Trigger A creature approaches within 10 feet of the poltergeist.

---

Effect The poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike against the triggering creature.

Frighten (concentrate, emotion, fear, incapacitation, mental)

Requirements The poltergeist must be Invisible.

---

Effect The poltergeist becomes visible, appearing as a skeletal, ghostlike humanoid. Each creature within 30 feet must attempt a DC 21 will save, becoming Frightened 2 on a failure. On a critical failure, it's also Fleeing for as long as it's frightened. On a success, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute. At the start of its next turn, the poltergeist becomes invisible again.

Telekinetic Storm (concentrate, evocation, occult)

The poltergeist telekinetically throws numerous small objects, such as dozens of pieces of silverware or books, either spreading them out among multiple foes or directing them at one target.

• When this effect is spread out among multiple foes, the poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike at a -2 penalty against each creature within 30 feet. These count as one attack for the poltergeist's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after all the attacks.
• When this effect has only one target, the poltergeist makes a telekinetic object Strike against the target, and the damage increases to 3d12 damage. It deals 1d12 damage on a failure, and no damage on a critical failure.

Occult Innate Spells (DC 23, +13 to hit)

Cantrips (3rd Level): Mage Hand
2nd Level: Telekinetic Maneuver (At Will)

---

When a creature dies, and for whatever reason its spirit is unable or unwilling to leave the site of its death, that spirit may manifest as a poltergeist: a restless invisible spirit that is still able to manipulate physical objects. Many poltergeists perished in a way that resulted from or has led to extreme emotional trauma.
