Tactics

• Poltergeists will initially have the condition  Invisible, and will cause damage by throwing furniture. If a party member has the condition  See Invisibility or  Volo's Ersatz Eye (passive feature), they will become  Revealed for one turn.
• Poltergeists will only be drawn into battle if they are revealed, otherwise they can be ignored entirely (although they will continue throwing furniture).
• They can fly down from the upper levels of the estate, so it may be best to wait for them to come closer rather then traversing into areas where Cursed Skulls are still active.
