Description
This creature resembles a miniature halfling. They have dusty gray flesh, and bright yellow eyes.
Gravesprites appear to be wizened small halflings. Their skin is a dusty gray and their hair, when they have some, is the same color as their skin. Their eyes are a bright yellow and their vision is very sharp. Typically gravesprites do not wear clothing, though gravesprites that live in a heavily settled area may take to wearing clothes like their neighbors. Gravesprites are reclusive, almost xenophobic. When they are encountered, they attempt to scurry away to hide and escape as quickly as they can.
Gravesprites speak Fey, Sylvan and whatever regional or racial language is common where they live. Exceptional gravesprites can speak more languages.
Combat
Gravesprites are non-offensive, only fighting is forced into a corner with no way to escape. In these cases, the trapped gravesprite uses a shortspear while his comrades use slings from a distance.
Improved Low-Light Vision (Ex): Gravesprites have excellent senses. Their low-light vision can see four times as far as a human can in dim light.
Lay Dead to Rest (Ex): Gravesprites have the magical ability to lay dead bodies to final rest. Once a corpse has been under the care of a gravesprite and buried, the corpse can not be raised as undead. Gravesprites have no similar ability to affect already undead creatures.
Skills: Gravespites have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks.
