 //I know I should probably get her exorcised, but Priscilla doesn't seem to be suffering or unhappy. Sure she sometimes spends the night meowing and tearing about, but she did that when she was alive, too. Besides, I really don't have any better way of dealing with all the ghost mice.//
-Spectres are ghosts, basically, and thus this class is only usually available in campaign worlds where ghosts are a thing (or at least some kind of viable alternative route to the same situation, like an incorporeal spirit or living hologram or something).
+Spectres are ghosts, basically, and thus this archetype is only usually available in campaign worlds where ghosts are a thing (or at least some kind of viable alternative route to the same situation, like an incorporeal spirit or living hologram or something). This also means that it frequently pairs well conceptually with the [[Undead]] archetype.
