Notes
The character becomes immediately corrupted and under the control of Sauron.
Only some heroes and important characters who interest Sauron for some reason are chosen to become Morgul Wraiths.
Elves and Dwarves cannot become Morgul Wraiths.
While in Wraithform the wraith remains mainly in the Wraithworld:
He is invulnerable to sunlight
He causes great fear even if he does not want to. His Intimidate (Fear) score is doubled and he gains the Special Ability Terror, which remains in permanent use until he stops using the wraithform.
He may move at twice his normal movement rate.
He cannot interact with living beings at all, only causing fear among them.
He can be spotted with an Observe (Sense Power) test with TN 10 and can be hurt with magical weapons.
