Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khisanth the Ancient" data-source="post: 9316722" data-attributes="member: 11368">Welkin TemplateA welkin is one of the greatest undead that currently exists outside the cosmic bindings of the sidereals, blood-hungry animated flesh infused with power from the dimension of entropy that grants it power beyond that of most immortals. A welkin resembles a withered version of its former self, with an aura of shadows clinging to it.“Welkin” is a template that can be added to any character, vampire, mummy, nosferatu or hunefer, overlapping those templates rather than adding to them. Such a character has generally spent millennia as either a nosferatu or a hunefer before achieving welkin status, though it is conceivable that unusual cosmic phenomena or the intervention of a sidereal of entropy could transform a mere vampire or mummy – or even a living mortal – directly into a welkin.It is suggested that the welkin template only be applied to creatures with at least 75 HD/levels but that is not an absolute.Type Becomes undead if not alreadyHD A welkin has d20s for hit dice, and always has double maximum hit points.Initiative Perfect InitiativeSpeed Supersonic (6710 ft.), Fly (Perfect Maneuverability)AC Natural Armor +60Damage Recalculate for four additional virtual size categories … x4 damage. A welkin's natural weapon attacks deal permanent damage.Special AttacksEnergy Drain (Su): Any creature struck by a welkin's natural weapon attack suffers five negative levels.Rotting Aura (Su): 100 ft. + 10 ft./HD radius. All creatures within the aura suffer 1d6 Con drain (Fort negates, DC 10 + ½ HD + Cha mod) every round. If a creature has taken Con drain from this effect, it still suffers the effects every round even after it leaves the aura until a remove disease spell or equivalent effect is applied.Create Spawn (Su): Creatures killed by the welkin's rotting aura rise as mummies (24 or fewer HD) or hunefers (25+ HD) 1d4 rounds later. Creatures killed by the welkin's energy drain rise as vampire spawn (4 or fewer HD), vampires (5-24 HD), or nosferatu (25+ HD) 1d4 rounds later.Spell-Like Abilities: At will— empowered horrid wilting, unholy aura, weird; 3/day— greater ruin (epic spell).Special Qualities Abrogate (Su): A single opponent of the welkin within 100 ft. + 10 ft./HD has its greatest ability negated. This can be an ability score (reducing it to 10) or one of its other abilities (divine, cosmic etc.).Damage Reduction (Ex): The welkin has damage reduction 50/-.Energy Absorption/ Immunities (Ex): Welkin are healed by cold damage and are immune to cold, electricity, and sonic damage.Fast Healing (Ex): Welkin have fast healing 50. A welkin will continue to heal even after being reduced to 0 hit points, even if disintegrated, unless it is coup de graced with an artifact weapon (skull crushed, head cut off or heart pierced) while it is at 0 hit points or below.Half Damage (Su): Welkin take half damage from all attacks and effects.Numinous (Su): The welkin radiates an antimagic field out to 100 ft. + 10 ft./HD (note that this does not affect artifacts or the spells/abilities of immortals)Spell Resistance (Su): The welkin has spell resistance equal to its new CR + 11.True Spawn of the Night (Su): The welkin can summon 1 greater unelemental.AbilitiesStr +60, Dex +20, Int +20, Wis +20, Cha +40.SkillsThe welkin knows all skills and has maximum ranks in all skills.ECL/CR+75 ECL/+50 CR. +50 ECL/+33 CR without increased equipment.WeaknessesWelkin lack the traditional weaknesses of vampires (such as garlic, running water, and sunlight) and mummies (such as fire). A welkin can be permanently destroyed only by an artifact weapon (see Fast Healing).</blockquote>
