=== SPECIAL ABILITIES ===
Basic monsters typically have up to one special ability.  Named monsters could have three to five special abilities.  
; Inflict Weakness
Creatures struck by a wraith must succeed on a Fort save, DC 14, or their Constitution is drained 1d2 points.  In addition, all creatures struck, even those that made their Fort save, become weakened, dealing only half damage from all melee and ranged attacks until the end of their next turn.  (Spell damage is unaffected by weakness.)
 
 
; Incorporeal
Creatures with the [[Incorporeal]] condition do not have a physical body. Incorporeal creatures are immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Incorporeal creatures take half damage (50%) from magic weapons, spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural effects. Incorporeal creatures take full damage from other incorporeal creatures and effects, as well as all force effects.
 
 
; Shadow Glide
Once per encounter, the Wraith may move his full speed as a move action without provoking any attacks of opportunity.  During this move, he may pass through solid objects, ignore corners, and pass through enemies without penalty, though he must end the move in an empty space.
 
 
; Sneak Attack
If the Wraith attacks a creature which is flanked, flat-footed or unaware of the Wraith's location, he adds 1d6 extra damage to his attacks.  This is precision damage, and cannot be applied to creatures immune to critical hits, or those with concealment, or other traits or circumstances preventing precision damage.


Often, the converted creature's special abilities should just be carried forward, with the numeric values adjusted using the numbers above.


Be aware, however, that you don't actually need very many special abilities, even for complex uniques like Orcus. Your monsters probably won't live more than about three rounds. Some creatures you convert may have dozens of listed abilities in their source material.  Just pick a few of the most interesting ones to make the fight memorable.  Your named monsters should be able to do something interesting each round, though there's no rule it has to be a different interesting thing each round.
; Spawn Wraith
Creatures slain by a wraith become a wraith at the start of the creating-wraith's next turn. The new wraith appears in the space where the creature died or the nearest unoccupied space.  Raising the slain creature does not destroy this wraith.


Named monsters can also have 1 or even 2 action points, even if they have no role. Note that you can never spend more than 1 action point in a single round.


Any special abilities which have a save DC should have '''the DC set to 14'''.
; Lifesense
A wraith notices and locates living creatures within 60 feet, just as if it possessed the blindsight ability.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Inflict Weakness

Creatures struck by a wraith must succeed on a Fort save, DC 14, or their Constitution is drained 1d2 points. In addition, all creatures struck, even those that made their Fort save, become weakened, dealing only half damage from all melee and ranged attacks until the end of their next turn. (Spell damage is unaffected by weakness.)


Incorporeal

Creatures with the Incorporeal condition do not have a physical body. Incorporeal creatures are immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Incorporeal creatures take half damage (50%) from magic weapons, spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural effects. Incorporeal creatures take full damage from other incorporeal creatures and effects, as well as all force effects.


Shadow Glide

Once per encounter, the Wraith may move his full speed as a move action without provoking any attacks of opportunity. During this move, he may pass through solid objects, ignore corners, and pass through enemies without penalty, though he must end the move in an empty space.


Sneak Attack

If the Wraith attacks a creature which is flanked, flat-footed or unaware of the Wraith's location, he adds 1d6 extra damage to his attacks. This is precision damage, and cannot be applied to creatures immune to critical hits, or those with concealment, or other traits or circumstances preventing precision damage.


Spawn Wraith

Creatures slain by a wraith become a wraith at the start of the creating-wraith's next turn. The new wraith appears in the space where the creature died or the nearest unoccupied space. Raising the slain creature does not destroy this wraith.


Lifesense

A wraith notices and locates living creatures within 60 feet, just as if it possessed the blindsight ability.


TREASURE

sell value of approximately 1,375 gp
