Abridan Ashau

Abridan is an ex-cleric. While he's lost the magical abilities that come from his connection to Pharasma, he can still use the major staff of healing or any of his scrolls by tricking the item. Since he can't cast spells, he can't recharge his staff, and uses its remaining charges only as a last resort.

Trigger Abridan dies before he's had a chance to atone for his blasphemies or has become an actual cleric of Urgathoa Effect Urgathoa watched Abridan's fall from grace, and if he dies before he finishes his conversion, her disappointment causes his body to decay as if he had been dead for a week. This process also causes all living creatures within 30-foot emanation to take 11d6 void damage (DC 33 fortitude). If steps are not thereafter taken to prevent his soul from returning (such as by casting Peaceful Rest on the partially decayed corpse), Abridan rises as a Dybbuk on the site of his death a minute after the next sundown and seeks revenge on the PCs for killing him.

Abridan attempts to trick his staff or a scroll by attempting a Religion check against the item's Trick DC. Success For the rest of his turn, Abridan can spend actions to activate the staff or scroll as if he could normally use it. Failure Abridan can't use the item or try to trick it again this turn, but can try again on subsequent turns. Critical Failure Abridan can't use the item, and can't try to trick it again until his next daily preparation at sunrise. The trick DCs for Abridan's items are as follows: • Major Staff of Healing DC 30 religion • Scroll of Blindness DC 20 religion • Scroll of Crisis of Faith DC 20 religion • Scroll of Heal DC 26 religion • Scroll of Flame Strike DC 26 religion • Scroll of Sound Burst DC 23 religion
