Homebrew Ghost Walker Species Details
Despite their eerie nature, Ghost Walkers are not inherently malevolent Undead creatures. Instead, they serve as guardians of the border between life and death, ensuring that spirits find their way to the afterlife and that malevolent entities are kept at bay. They are often drawn to places of great spiritual significance, such as ancient burial grounds, sacred temples, and haunted ruins, where they act as protectors and guides for lost souls.

Though they may sometimes be misunderstood or feared by the living, Ghost Walkers are driven by a sense of duty and compassion, using their otherworldly abilities to bring peace and harmony to both the material and spiritual realms.
