Vincuvicar
Level 18Attacks
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.
A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
A velstrac automatically knows whether a creature it sees has any of the Doomed, Dying, and Wounded conditions, as well as the value of those conditions.
A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
30 feet. When a creature ends its turn in the aura, it feels imprisoned and must succeed at a DC 37 will save or become Enfeebled 1 and Slowed 1 for 1 round.
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
The vincuvicar stares at a creature they can see within 30 feet. The creature must attempt a Will save against the alone and forgotten aura. If the creature was already enfeebled and Slowed, on a failed save, its hopelessness causes it to be Enfeebled 2 and unable to take the Escape action as long as they remain enfeebled. After attempting this save, the creature is then temporarily immune until the start of the vincuvicar's next turn.
A vincuvicar forms a bond with an institution that holds prisoners. This takes 1 day and ends any previous bond the vincuvicar had. While within the area of the prison, the vincuvicar gains a +2 status bonus to skill checks and Perception checks.
Trigger A creature within 60 feet is damaged by the vincuvicar's animated manacles Strike Effect The creature must attempt a DC 40 reflex save. Critical Success The creature avoids being manacled. Success The manacles distract the creature, causing it to become Off-Guard until the end of its next turn. Failure The manacles fuse in place and bind the creature's legs and arms until it Escapes or the manacles are destroyed. Critical Failure As failure, but the creature is also Restrained.
Description
Prison keepers among velstracs, vincuvicar velstracs thrive on depriving others of freedom.
Vincuvicar Thrones
Each vincuvicar possesses a personal, spiked iron throne—a symbol of authority. This iron throne is an object with Hardness 20 and 500 Hit Points. If a vincuvicar's throne is destroyed, the velstrac must return to the Shadow Plane to acquire or construct a replacement.
