HP 0 [-20]

For a total cost of -10 points. It also means the spectre can effectively increase HP for 1 point for every level of Will.


Incidentally, I love the idea of a race that uses Will instead of HP. I may have to steal this for my games.
Yup. Pretty much this. I was posting late when I should have tried to sleep. Apologies for confusion.

That would be the general idea.

Thanks. I'll think about this. What I'd prefer is some kind of Fragile disadvantage. Since Will is unlikely to vary hugely... -10? -20?
-10 seems about right. You know, this gives me an idea for a blog post (you really need "Muse of Ravens" underneath your name, Anders!). Hmmm.
