Ash Wednesday - Ash for Swords & Wizardry Light and Light City

Ash is a comic book character who's (arguably) most famous story takes place in the dark ages. He's also tangle with the Marvel Universe. For this reason I think it's appropriate to stat him out for Swords & Wizardry Light and Light City. Plus I've not done an Ash Wednesday post in a while. Next week I'll do Deadite stats.

Necronomicon Ex-Mortis - This vile bound in flesh and inked in blood dates back to ancient times. Within it's dark pages are many incantations, including ones to unleash a powerful entity known as the Watcher and it's deadite servants.

In addition any cleric, magic-user, witch, or other spellcaster with the tome can cast the following spells as if they were a part of their spell list.

1st level -

• Summon Deadite - Range: 60 ft. Duration: Instant. This spell allows a Kandarian demon to enter the world. It will possess the nearest corpse. If none are found it will seek to possess the nearest living thing. The deadite has no loyalty to the caster.

2nd level -

• Create Skeleton - Range 30 ft. Duration: Permanent. This spell animates a skeleton (use stats from Swords & Wizardry Light/Continual Light). The skeleton is intelligent and may or many not aid the caster.
