Gohei p’oh, also known as paper ghosts, are spirits that act as servitors and guards for evil wu jen.

In its most common form, a gohei p’oh resembles an ordinary piece of parchment, sized like a page from a book (approx. 1’ wide or so).  The gohei p’oh is always blank.  If a person tries to write on it, the ink disappears as soon as it touches the creature.    Gohei p'oh can erase printed words from any type of book, which can lie up to 1 foot away from the spirit.  Usually, the gohei p’oh assumes its page form and inserts itself inside a thick volume, where it consumes words at the rate of about 1 page per day. 

To create gohei p’oh, an evil wu jen uses any book of evil lore.  He subjects several pages of the book to a series of corrupting ceremonies that binds otherworldly spirits to the pages.  Month by month, the words on the parchments gradually fade.  After six months, the pages are blank, and the gohei p’oh have been created. 

Gohei p’oh cannot speak, but they understand simple phrases in the language common to the area.

Combat
     Subservience (Ex):  A gohei p’oh will obey any simple command of the wu jen who created it.  Typically, the gohei p’oh guards a room, and is ordered to attack any intruder who enters.  He also may be ordered to destroy anyone who touches a particular object in the room, such as a desk or book.  When following such a command, the gohei p’oh will fight to the death.
     Detect Being (Su):  Although they have no sensory organs, gohei p’oh can detect the  presence of all living creatures within an area of 20’ in diameter.  They can detect spirits, and intruders who are invisible.  They are nearly impossible to surprise.  
     Origami Transformation (Su): Gohei p’oh can fold themselves into several different forms (The most common forms are listed below).  A transformation takes a full action, during which the paper spirit remains stationary, even if hovering in midair.  The spirit can fold itself into any of these forms as often as it desires.  Each form has its own speed, appearance, and abilities.
	Page:  This is the gohei p’oh’s natural form, resembling the blank page of a book.  The spirit moves by flapping itself; its fly speed is 20 ft (Clumsy).  It attacks by charging toward a victim’s head.  A successful attack means the spirit has plastered itself over the victim’s face, and has begun to absorb his breath.  The victim suffers an immediate 1d4 pts of damage, and automatically loses another 1d4 points every round thereafter.  A successful strength check (DC 20) allows the  page to be pulled from the victim’s face.   Because this is the gohei p’oh’s most vulnerable form, the spirit seldom uses it unless only a single victim is present.
	Dove: This form resembles a dove made of folded paper.  It has a fly speed of 60 ft (Average).  The dove attacks by slashing victims with the sharp edge of its wing, inflicting 1d4 points of damage.
	Pinwheel: This form resembles a pinwheel of folded paper.  It boasts a fly speed of 30 ft (Clumsy) and can hover in midair indefinitely.  When hovering, it can blast a line of air at any victim up to 10 feet away to inflict 1d4 damage (reflex save DC 12 for half).  The air blast victim must also make a dexterity check (DC 15) or be blown to the ground or against an object, suffering an additional 1d2 points of damage.
   	Box: This form, the gohei p'oh's most dangerous, resembles a small box or satchel.  The spirit has a fly speed of 10 ft (Clumsy).  If the spirit comes within 3 feet of a victim and makes a successful attack roll, the victim is sucked inside the box and is immediately transported to a random location in the ethereal plane (the victim will have to find his own way back).  A gohei p'oh in box form can only "swallow" one victim per day.  Instead of "swallowing" a victim, the boxlike spirit can turn itself inside out.  This maneuver effectively allows it to "swallow" itself and escape to the ethereal plane.  The spirit must then remain there for a full day, after which it can "swallow" itself again and return to its original location.
       Fire Vulnerability:  The gohei p'oh suffers double damage from normal and magical fire attacks.
