Does this look balanced? This is sort of a field test of some houserules for making free spirit PCs. The idea is that the character is an Asian-style angry ghost of sorts. I'm using this as a backup character in a Minneapolis-St. Paul campaign. Basically, she was a Hmong woman with exceptionally valuable organs for some reason (genetweaking?) and she got kidnapped and vivisected by Tamanous. In Hmong culture, it's bad news to be buried without all your parts, hence them never being organ donors. So she cannot rest until she gets all her organs back, and in the meantimes is tearing Tamanous and everybody else a new one. She's running essentially for revenge.

The build, the idea is that she delivers Death Touches at melee range and is essentially a melee combatant that can port around. Again, Ringu is an inspiration here. I gave up on the idea of using a sword or something; I think this works better. What do you make of it?
