[QUOTE="Neo, post: 1576315, member: 4139"] [b] THE RISEN FIEND: [/b] Contrary to popular belief not all Draegloth half fiends occur due to the union between a Drow and a glabrezu during a ceremonial ritual. Indeed now that a number of Draegloth over the generations have occurred within Drow society the genetic propensity for draegloth to occur in any bloodline that can trace a draegloth in their family line now exists for any Drow children from that point on to at some point spontaneously undergo a transformation into a draegloth as their fiendish bloodline takes over and the Drow matures. The risen fiend is one such individual, one of their ancestors was a draegloth who later sired children with a normal Drow and the dormant trigger for the draegltoh transformation was passed through each successive generation until the character, in whom it is active. Risen fiends are commonly followers of lolth, having a tendency to also be sorcerers (explaining their predisposition to magic use), but do not necessarily have to be lolth worshippers all the same.

Initially the risen fiend must choose one resistance from among the following Acid, Cold, Electricity or Fire and they receive a resistance 5 in it. Upon reaching 5th level they choose a second one from the list (cannot choose the one they chose previously again) and the resistance in this and the previous choice are now both resistance 10. When the risen fiend reaches 7th level they choose a third resistance from the remaining two and all three resistances now become resistance 15. Finally when the risen fiend reaches 9th level they gain the final resistance and all four resistances become 20. [b]Desecrate (Sp):[/b] From 2nd level, a risen fiend can cast the spell desecrate 1/day as though cast by a sorcerer of the same level. [b]Large:[/b] When the risen fiend becomes 5th level, they grow in size becoming a large sized creature, as a result of this as Large creatures risen fiends suffer a -1 size penalty to Armour Class and attack rolls, and a -4 size penalty to all Hide checks. They also have double the lifting and carrying limits of a medium creature. [b]Unholy Blight (Sp):[/b] When the risen fiend has reached level 9, they gain the ability to cast unholy blight 1/day as though cast by a sorcerer of the same level. [b]Forever Damned (Su):[/b] Finally upon reaching 10th level the transformation of the Drow into a draegloth half fiend is complete. The character gains a +4 bonus to their Strength score; Immunity to poison, and sleep; they receive a further +2 increase to their natural armour bonus and to complete the transformation their type becomes Outsider.
