Rialug's Shadow
Level 7
Nightmare one per day: You pull a horrifying creature from your worst nightmare into the waking world and sic it on your foes. The nightmare persists each round while you use your action concentrating on it (or until you disperse it or it is destroyed). It has one of the following abilities, which you choose when you call it.
Confusion. Instead of making a normal attack, the nightmare’s attack confuses the target for one round. On its next action, the target attacks an ally.
Horrify. Instead of making a normal attack, the nightmare’s attack horrifies the target, which drops to its knees (or similar appendages). The target takes 3 points of damage that ignore Armor and is dazed for one round, during which time all its tasks are hindered.
Pustule Eruption. Instead of making a normal attack, the nightmare’s attack causes rancid painful pustules to rise all over the target’s skin for one minute. If the target takes a forceful action (such as attacking another creature or moving farther than an immediate distance), the pustules burst, dealing 5 points of damage that ignore Armor. Action to initiate, action each round to concentrate.
Speaker for the Dead (once per body): You can ask a question of a dead being whose corpse you are touching. Because the answer comes through the filter of the being’s understanding and personality, it can’t answer questions that it wouldn’t have understood in life, and it can’t provide answers that it wouldn’t have known in life. In fact, the being is not compelled to answer at all, so you might need to interact with it in a way that would have convinced it to answer while it was alive. For each additional Intellect point you spend when you activate the ability, you can ask the being an additional question. Action.
Shadow Shroud (three times a day): Ribbons of dark matter condense and swirl about you for up to one minute. This shroud eases your Speed defense tasks, inflicts 2 points of damage to anyone who tries to touch you or strike you with a melee attack, and gives you +1 Armor.
Action to initiate.
Attack are Eased
Damage: 4 + 1 necrotic
Depletion: -
