Ancient Specter (4e Paragon Path)

Ancient Specter

“	Shadows are just a natural as light	”
—Conan, Fenrirborn Ghost Warrior

Prerequisite: Ancient Ghost Warrior, Primal Might: Beserker Wrath, Wrathful School

When nature fights back against civilization, there are many people who view nature as destructive. Some Ghost Warriors saw the savageness and death caused by nature as another power to use to keep order in the world. While other Ghost Warriors turned to dealing vengeance, the Ancient Ghosts looked to keeping the natural order in balance. With their connection with nature, they have grown accustomed to finding their enemies from farther away than their counterparts and began to use bows and crossbows.
