Editing Geist: The Sin-Eaters (section)

=== Malicious Ghosts ===
It might shock you to learn that being a spirit moored to a piece of your past for too long might drive you crazy. Ghosts in GtSE have distinct ranks that go from 0 to 10. The vast majority are in the 0 to 2 range: with 0 and 1 being barely sapient or stuck in a constant loop, and 2 being just normal people without bodies that you might be able to break out of their in-between state if you know what to do. Where it starts to get hairy are Ranks 3-5; they're where the Geists the game is named after live: They're ancient, marginally human, and very sentient. If they're fucking around in a place, the expectation you should have is for a fight, and it's not going to be an easy one. All those things you've seen ghosts do in horror movies? They can do that. You can too, but they can really mess up your day if you're not careful. Reapers are also in this category.

After Rank 6, you're getting into the realm of rulers of Dead Dominions, and Kerberoi. The long story there is try not to piss them off, if you can. They don't have traits or stats. You just don't fuck with those. We'll talk about it later on the page.
