A graveyard guardian is a manifestation of the spirit of the first person who was buried in a graveyard. Graveyard guardians appear as chilling apperitions of faceless robed figures surrounded by swirling darkness. Despite their terrifying appearance graveyard guardians are pure good and exist only to protect the cemetary residents and their souls from being disturbed, violated, or harmed in any way. Normally a graveyard guardian is mild tempered and benevolent, but any attempt to defile the cemetary residents throws it into an almost insane rage. Graveyard guardians usually keep out evil undead, particularly ghouls which they destroy on sight. A graveyard guardian will only allow some one to animate a body in its burial are if the body's soul gives the animator persmission via speak with dead.

Vengful storm(sp):Once per day a graveyard guardian can invoke a swirling cloud of spiritual wrath upon the fool who dares break the sanctity of this holy place.

Blood of souls disturbed(su):Once per day a graveyard guardian can cause a river of blood to spring forth from the soil and magically wash away at the offending party's flesh dealing 5d10 acid damage.
