Chaplains have been missing a fun toy since the artbox got canned.
The item: A black cloth, not dissimilar to the MD's bedsheet.
The cost: At least 6 TCs
What it does: When placed on a fresh corpse, that player's ghost is upgraded to a wraith subservient to the chaplain.
The restrictions: The corpse must remain fresh, either by cold or embalming fluid injections. If it rots too far, is taken off station z-level, exposed to starlight or the shroud is removed, the wraith will revert to normal ghost. The shroud is reusable, but all Wraiths are subservient to the chaplain alone, regardless of who puts it on the corpse. The chaplain is immune to the effects of his own shroud - it's not a free upgrade to Wraith.
Why it's fun: More wraiths! Everybody wants to give wraiths a try. It comes with an additional game of hide-the-body, so if you suspect a wraith is not natural or seems to be in league with the chaplain, the easiest way is to go corpse hunting and take off the shroud. However, the chaplain will need to infrequently return to his stash to refill the corpse with formaldehyde.
