Hovering before you is a transparent insubstantial figure of a kender. The edges of the creature are blurry, wispy and hard to distinguish. Yet the face of the kender is one of abject despair. Its dejected expression is one of complete hopelessness.

Moaners are the poor lost souls of those kender killed unjustly. The Desolation has a way of trapping their souls and binding them to the prime material plain. They wander alone or in families weeping and moaning in despair. Their chilling sadness can usually be heard before they appear, sometimes drawing forth a would-be-hero into their waiting arms. They seem to approach living beings out of a need for their warmth and comfort, not fully comprehending that they are harming that person with their touch.,Moaners are the poor lost souls of those kender killed unjustly.

Combat
Moaners do not usually appear threatening they merely seem to be seeking comfort from the living. They gravitate toward any living being to feel the warmth of their life force.


Intelligence Damage (Su): Any target that is touched by the moaner loses 1d4 points of Intelligence. Any creature that has their Intelligence reduced to 0 is helpless until they have their Intelligence returned to at least 1 point. On a successful attack a moaner gains 5 temporary hit points.
Despair (Su): Moaners can emit a wail every 1d4 rounds that brings about despair to all that hear it. Those individuals that hear the wail and fail a Will save (DC 18) receive a -2 morale penalty to saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks and weapon damage rolls. This ability may be countered by bardic music or the spell Emotion (hope). This ability lasts for 2d4 rounds and the effects of additional bouts of despair stack.
