A revenant guide is the undead companion of a necromancer, and is almost never encountered alone. It serves to the best of its ability, while constantly advising the master too look out for his own interests. Some revenant guides are the pale shadows of ancestors or former familiars, companions, or even mates of their master, others are simply undead allies.

Revenant guides serve masters with the Improved Familiar feat who are willing to undergo the gruesome process of binding or creating these beasts.

Husk Guide

The grotesque creature appears as a shrunken baby, with an overgrown head, a mouth full of vicked fangs and monkey-like limbs.

The husk guide serves much like a regular familiar does, but in its own uniquely evil fashion.

Combat

Charisma Damage

A husk guide causes 1d3 points of Charisma damage each time it hits with its bite attack and heals itself for the same amount of hit point damage.

Spirit Guide

You are not sure you even saw it; a transparent image of a leering face, with wisps of smoke instead of neck and hair, flitting around the mage's head.

Sometimes known as ID guides, spirit guides exemplify the dark side of their master's personality, knowing exactly what his vices are and how to make him live them out.

Combat

Wisdom Damage

A spirit guide causes 1d3 points of Wisdom damage each time it hits with its bite attack and heals itself for the same amount of hit point damage.

Light Blindness

The spirit guide is irrevocably tied to darkness. It is not harmed by light, but light hinders it's vision. In areas of dim illumination, it sees just as well as a human does in such conditions. In bright light, it is as hindered as a human is in darkness. It can always see its master, irrespective of light conditions.
