Formerly powerful fighters, remnants are undead lords forced into their nightmarish states by powerful wizards or evil demigods who trapped their souls in golden circlets. The sole reason that remnants remain on the Prime Material plane is to search for and recover the circlets that contain their souls. A remnant appears as a cracked and yellowing skeleton covered with shards of decaying flesh. Its eyes are black holes containing pinpoints of reddish light. It is clad in the blackened armor and rotted trappings it wore in its former life. Anyone possessing a remnant's circlet can control its actions, so long as the controller remains within 240 feet of the remnant. The controller is either in active control of the remnant or in a passive mode. When in active control, the controller can see whatever the remnant sees, and he can mentally command it to fight, search for treasure, or take any other actions; however, the controller himself is unable to cast spells, move, or take any other actions while in active control. Remnants are usually found near the areas where they died in their former lives, or where they were buried. A remnant usually has a sizeable collection of treasure, the remnants of a lifetime of adventure. Since a remnant is preoccupied with recovering its circlet, protecting its treasure is not a priority. Remnants are used by their controllers as bodyguards, servants, or workers. Since remnants are obsessed with their circlets and are therefore undependable, evil creatures and other undead seldom associate with them. Undead Nature. A remnant doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
