Shadow Leydroth
Level 17Attacks
Abilities
The leydroth detects the source and school of each source of magic within 60 feet as an imprecise sense.
The Shadow Leydroth can Hide or end its Sneak in a creature's or object's shadow.
Trigger A creature within 60 feet Casts a Spell Effect The leydroth attempts an intimidation check to counteract the triggering spell.
A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
The leydroth unleashes a bestial roar that reverberates within a 30-foot emanation. It rolls an Intimidation check and compares the result to the Will DC of each creature in the area, with the effects of Demoralize. It also uses this result to attempt to counteract each spell or magical effect in the area, plus one item or effect on each creature in the area, with the effects of Dispel Magic. The leydroth can't use Dispelling Roar again for 1d4 rounds.
Frequency once per round Trigger The leydroth hits a creature, object, or spell effect with a Strike Effect The leydroth casts its innate Dispel Magic, targeting one effect on the creature struck.
Any time a leydroth counteracts a spell or item, the spell's caster or the creature holding the item takes 8d6 mental damage (DC 38 will save).
Description
In ancient times, a cabal of primalists imbued an amalgam of beasts with both supernatural might and a hatred of magic itself, hoping to achieve a potent weapon for use against arcane spellcasters. Effective beyond expectation, the first leydroths broke free and turned on their creators. Worse, the leydroths bred true, and these reclusive predators have long outlived their original creators.
Leydroths look like distorted, apelike felines with many-branching horns growing from the backs of their heads. Their thickly muscled limbs end in glowing claws.
