Non Corporeal Undead Horrors pt1: Standard Types

This started as d100 then i got caught up in research but it was something I have planned a long time. Took way too long but the research based stuff does. Enjoy the new undead and I will do corporeal ones some time in future. Feel free to share about. Let me know if there are any screw ups.

Note on my turning rules.
Undead of less HD than cleric - cleric effects d12 per level
Number rolled is number of HD driven away for a ten minite Turn/Lv
If total is double then the undead is destroyed

If Undead is of greater HD than the cleric they get a saving throw and they require double the number of HD to effect them and cannot destroy them.

Weakest undead effected first - after they are turned or destroyed the remaining levels of clerics turning power applied to greater undead

Evil clerics can issue one command to undead instead of driving them away
Instead of destroying undead they can give them a permanent command
Guard something is most common command

This is mod on my previous system to make life harder vs tougher undead

Non Corporeal Undead Horrors
I wanted a spread of varied strength undead.

These are the classic types in ADnD. OA has lots of good ones also. I hadn't used some of these much so this will help. Spectral minions originally in Dragon Lance a useful spirit type with great roleplaying fun for DM's turned by 4th ed into a playable race and ruined. I added animal types for interest to spectral minion. Actually I have made shadows with hound form before with no stat changes. I mostly changed haunt slightly. I added d3 to poltergeist damage as if it can be thrown it can hurt.  Heucuva described as a spirit so I took their polymorph ability as a material form disguise. I would give some spell casting abilities occasionally too.

Interestingly lots of female varieties. It's as if women had more to be unhappy about or more frequently died tragically through all history and fantasy worlds.

Part 2 tables tables no goats (probably) d100 Non Corporeal Undead

Undead are immune to mind effecting spells like charm, mental ilusions, fear spells. Immune to non magical cold and do not breath and cannot be effected by poison. Non corporeal undead immune to non magical acid and fire also.
