The Shattered Knights are fearsome undead of unknown origin. Legends say that they had been a group of virtuous knights who had been sent to apprehend an evil wizard. But, as legend tells it, the wizard's lair was a trap and the king who sent them knew they would die. The wizard's tower was destroyed in a huge magical explosion just as the knights learned of their betrayal.
Now they are undead creatures caught between life and death forever.
They are semi-intangible and can only be hit by magic weapons. Like all undead, the knights are immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells. They can attack with the weapons they had in life and also a powerful touch attack that drains 1 point of Wisdom per touch (no save). This must be done with their hand, not a weapon and it is the only attack they can make that round.
The knights are never fully in or out of normal reality so they may opt to make a phase movement instead of an attack. They move at twice their normal speed and can move through solid objects. When in phase they cannot attack or be attacked by physical means.
The Knights are Turned by Cleric as if they were Spectres. The knights are always accompanied by 1d4 wights.
If four or more knights are encountered then one will be the Knight Commander.

The Knight Commander is the leader of the Shattered Knights. He has all the same attacks and powers as his knights. When he is present with a group of knights their Moral increases to 12.
Characters slain by a Shattered Knight or the Knight Commander will become wights under their command.
Sadly I fear more shattered knights may join their ranks before I figure this out.

I feel your pain man. I got one last October and am STILL working out the kinks. But way to leverage that creativity man!
The temperature isn't right and the filament is moving too-fast. Or maybe not.
