Homebrew Wraith Species Details

Wraiths are old, restless spirits that have returned from the grave for any reason. They have no true need for sleep other than to regenerate their astral bodies. Wraiths can have the visual appearance of any race that it was before death. This is their default appearance, as they can visually change their bodies. They can turn invisible or mimic the appearance of another creature, this requires a lot of energy. Gravity has little effect on the spectral body because it is almost as light has air. Wraith's have the ability to levitate far off the ground, although it requires energy and most can only make it above 10 feet. 

Most Wraiths live away from the living because common people think of Wraiths as frightening, evil, tricksters, and most are. These wandering souls will sometimes seek adventure to make the best use of their unique abilities and to prove themselves trustworthy to the living.
