Command the Might of the Grave
Barrow Guards harness the power of the dead and spectral energies normally forbidden to the living. Some return from the dead to act as crypt keepers or otherwise serve the whims of the gods. Why do you serve?
Level 3
Ghastly Retinue.
Action: If neither are present, you can summon your Spectral Steed or Grave Squire (d12 minions). Both use your actions to attack and interpose for allies within Reach 2 (movement is free). In addition, while they are active:
