Typical Stats

ST:	12	HP:	15	Speed:	6.5

    Fine Shortsword (16): swing 2d-1 cutting, Reach 1 or thrust 1d impaling (KYOS: 1d+1 impaling), Reach 1.
    Energy Drain: While maintaining ongoing contact (grappling, for example), the sepulchral thief can drain 3 HP per second from the victim, while healing 1 HP per each stolen HP.
    Obscuring Aura: Everyone within 2 yards of the sepulchral thief takes a -2 to Hearing and Vision rolls, including Infravision.
    Reanimation: The greed and malevolence that animate the sepulchral thief cannot be dispersed through mere physical destruction. When the sepulchral thief reaches -10xHP, its life force immediately inhabits the single most valuable item it has on its possession (often but not always a weapon). After this apparent death, the sepulchral thief falls unconscious and heals normally. Once it is at full HP, its fully intact body coalesces at its item’s location. If the item is destroyed or cleansed before the reanimation, the sepulchral thief is destroyed forever. Note that this is not a magical ability – a sepulchral thief will still return to unlife even in a no-mana zone.
    Shadow Jump: The sepulchral thief can jump between the shadows as per the Shadow Jump spell, but without paying its casting cost.
