	Wights are what [[Vampire: The Masquerade\|vampires]] become after their Humanity or [[Path of Enlightenment]] rating drops to 0, and the Beast takes them over completely. They're essentially a smart-ish animal that knows only to kill, feed, and sleep. If their willpower is high enough, they might have a limited grasp of Discipline use and strategy, along with a few vague memories and skills from their previous existence. Unless they were ~~complete~~ monsters before falling, they probably won't kill everything in sight so long as they're not hungry and in immediate danger. Some may even try and pursue interests related to their nature.

	Wights can be pretty threatening - while they're dumb as a sack of rocks, they're also goddamn tough and have no sense of pain, letting them more easily ~~soak damage that isn~~'~~t from fire or sunlight and shrug off~~ mental-focused Disciplines like Presence or Obfuscate. They also have zero compunctions about [[Diablerie]] if they knew about it while sane, is an obvious problem for any poor schmuck running into them.		Wights can be pretty threatening - while they're dumb as a sack of rocks, they're also goddamn tough and have no sense of pain, letting them soak lethal and bashing damage more easily. They're also near-impossible to influence through mental-focused Disciplines like Presence or Obfuscate due to being completely bestial. They also have zero compunctions about [[Diablerie]] if they knew about it while sane, is an obvious problem for any poor schmuck running into them.

	The good news is that they tend to be hit with a Blood Hunt on sight due to the threat they pose to the Masquerade and other vampires, with very few Wight packs lasting for long. They're also extremely susceptible to Frenzy and Rötschreck, meaning that [[True Faith]], fire, and sunlight are very likely to send them screaming for the hills at the mere sight of them.

	In the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] setting, wights are the animated skeletons of ancient warlords and champions who were buried in funeral mounds scattered throughout the Empire. The special treatment given to these corpses at their death makes them stronger and more intelligent than the run-of-the-mill [[skeleton]]s - the lingering enchantments on their weapons don't hurt - and thus they are some of the most potent heavy troopers and champions in the armies of the [[Vampire Counts]] that aren't actually [[vampire]]s themselves.
