Combat[edit]
Unnatural Aura (Su): Animals, whether wild or domesticated, can sense the unnatural presence of a wight at a distance of 30 feet. They will not willingly approach nearer than that and panic if forced to do so; they remain panicked as long as they are within that range. Other creature (excluding undead, Maiar, or Maiar Demons, who are unaffected) have to make a will save (DC 20) each round or be paralyzed.
Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid slain by a wight becomes a Barrow-wight in 1d4 rounds. Its body remains intact and inanimate, but its spirit is torn free from its corpse and transformed. Spawn are under the command of the wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
Paralyze (Su): If a creature is hit by a Barrow-wight's Touch Attack, it must pass a DC 20 Will save or be paralyzed for D8 minutes. If it passes, it recovers in D8 Minutes.
Daylight Powerlessness (Ex): Barrow-wights are utterly powerless in natural sunlight (not merely a daylight spell) and flee from it.
