Urdefhan Blood Mage
Level 8Attacks
Abilities
A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
When an urdefhan dies, its invisible flesh quickly rots away and sublimates into a foul-smelling gas that fills a 5-foot emanation around the body. This gas deals 8d6 void damage to creatures in this area as their flesh curdles and rots as well (DC 24 fortitude save).
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.
Frequency once per round Effect The blood mage cuts themself and takes 8 slashing damage. If the blood mage's next action is to Cast a Spell, the action can't be disrupted, and if the spell has a range, the blood mage can increase that spell's range by 30 feet.
Requirements The urdefhan damaged a creature with a jaws Strike on its last action
The urdefhan maintains contact, turning the creature's flesh translucent around the site of the injury. The urdefhan chooses one of two options, each of which requires a fortitude save. If the jaws Strike was a critical hit, the creature suffers both effects, using the same save result for both. • Drain Blood DC 26 fortitude The urdefhan drinks some of the creature's blood. On a failed save, the creature is Drained 1 and the urdefhan regains 10 healing HP (or, on a critical failure, it's Drained 2 and the urdefhan regains 20 healing HP). • Drain Vitality (necromancy) DC 26 fortitude The urdefhan draws out some of the creature's vital essence. The creature becomes Enfeebled 1 for 1 hour on a failed save (or Enfeebled 2 for 1 hour on a critical failure).
Description
Hardened masters of occult power, urdefhan blood mages trade their blood for magical might. A heavily scarred blood mage is held in esteem by their fellow urdefhans, as it shows they have survived many bargains with eerie occult patrons.
Translucent-skinned scourges of the Darklands, urdefhans are remorseless killers and foot soldiers of the world's end.
