Background

Non-Corporeal or Incorporeal beings are those who have no true physical form. Although they may have avatars or physical bodies, their true essence exists non-physically, whether as a soul, as energy, or as an abstract concept. Being non-bodily is very different from most intangible forms because the body of an intangible being is its true body, it simply can not be affected by conventional physical forces. A non-corporeal being has generally no concrete and definite form and can appear in many different forms if he so desires, although the destruction of these bodies is of little importance to the entity that hides them.

Note

Incorporeal beings can be killed through;

Among other means. Some Non-Corporeal beings, for example, need bodies to survive and can be killed by destroying their bodies and preventing them from receiving hosts.

Abstract beings are typically non-corporeal as well.

Characters with Immaterial Intangibility may also be non-corporeal.
