their forms,and twin red glows replace their eyes.As one moves,
a glimpseof its physical body can sometimes be seen through a
haze of mist, although this may only be an illusion of some sort.

Combat: Temporal stalkers usually hunt alone unless they are
after a large group or a exceptionally powerful individual.
They track a single target for months until they are able to
catch him surprise. If a small group of travelers is involved,
the stalkers wait until one separates from the others before
attacking.A successful hit by a temporal stalker causes only

light damage, but also drains one level and all the abilities that
go with it. Alternatively,with the same touch, the stalker can
use paradox on a victim, fouling its past. Often it uses this to
exchnge a spell that a wizardly victim has memorized for one
that is entirely useless in the given situation.

A character drained below level 0 becomes a temporal stalker
himself.Mistsmokebegins to swarm around the victim's body
until, several days later, most ofhis physicalbody is hidden with-
in the shroud. Companionscan prevent the transformation by
bringing the body back to reality before the new stalker awakens.

Habitat/Society: Temporal stalkers have no lairs, and they are

beyond the desire for material wealth. The only thmg a tempo
ral stalker actually possesses is a deep-seated h a b d for linear
creatures and a desire to see them destroyed. These evil
undead are highly intelligent and know much concerning the
Demiplane of T i e , which is one more thing to drive them into
anger, since they can no longer use this information. It's no

good to them if they can never leave the pseudo-plane and
have a n effect upon reality.

Of all linear beings, temporal stalkers hate the Guardians

the most, as these men and women have the most effect upon
reality of any chronomancers. The jealousy the temporal stalk-
ers feel bums brightly in them, and they sometimes organize

small ambushes for a Guardian if they think there is any

revenge.
Zhentarim spirits primarily target their killers.The attack of
a Zhentarim spirit drains the hit points of its victim at a rate of Ecology:Zhentarim spirits have no need for sus
ld8 per strike. The loss of these hit points is permanent for the rest, and they continuously seek the destruction
target of the spirit's vengeance (its killer or killers),while all
others regain lost points normally.

Zhentarim spirits can also take over others through the use
of a magicjar ability that they can attempt once per round; a
spirit can only control one person at a time. A Zhentarim spirit
must be within 60 feet to take over the victim. The spirits often
use controlled victims to get close to their targets and either
kill or injure them. A spirit must relinquish possession of a
controlled person before attacking a victim with its draining
touch.
