He prefers to ride his phantom steed if possible, mounted with his battle standard, which includes his darkskull. As a result, a 40' radius around him typically is under the effects of an Unhallow spell and all extradimensional movement is prevented by Dimensional Anchor. Euain's blade is typically enhanced with an extended Greater Magic Weapon by Ygraine, making it a +4 weapon. He is normally accompanied by at least a few other undead creatures he has encountered or that Ygraine has created.During Combat: Euain is a terrifying opponent in combat. He uses all his abilities and those of his allies in the most brutally efficient manner possible. He excels at sensing and exploiting weaknesses in his opponents, keeping a careful eye on the entire battlefield for signs of vulnerability. Typically, he will lead from the front of a battle, exhorting his skeletal champion minions to great effect with Stand and Fight and None Shall Fall active, giving them DR 4/-, a +4 increase in channel resistance, and the Mettle special quality. He is quick to move around the battlefield, charging an opponent from above with a Mighty Strike-enhanced Ride-by Attack and then devastating them the next round with a full attack routine. If he scores a critical hit on an opponent, he will use his Triumphant Battle Cry and then use Invigorating Battle Cry the next round, giving all his allies 6d6+6 temporary hit points. Ygraine is typically assigned a support role, and usually remains near the skeletal champions to assist them. If Euain is sufficiently injured he will retrieve Ygraine and fly away with her, leaving his other minions behind to cover their escape.STATISTICSStr 24, Dex 13, Con --, Int 15, Wis 16, Cha 22Base Atk +14/+9/+4; CMB +21; CMD 32Skills Bluff +20, Diplomacy +24, Handle Animal +12, Intimidate +32, Kn (Geography) +12, Kn (History) +12, Kn (Nobility) +12, Perception +25, Ride +15, Sense Motive +21Feats Combat Expertise, Commander of the Dead, Critical Focus, Disarming Strike, Improved Disarm, Improved Initiative, Improved Shield Bash, Leadership, Mounted Combat, Power Attack, Ride-by Attack, Shield Slam, Staggering Critical, Two-Weapon FightingLanguage Common, Dwarven, InfernalSQ command bonus +4, command pool powers (16 command points/day, Coordinated Offense, Coordinated Protection, Invigorating Battle Cry, Mighty Strike, None Shall Fall, Stand and Fight, Triumphant Battle Cry, Victorious Battle Cry), Always Prepared +4, Part of the Legend +2 (armor), Born Leader +4, Talented Commander, Tactical Mind, Masterful Commander, Phantom Mount (black steed with icy white mane and hooves, glowing white eyes), Ruinous Revivification (cold)Combat Gear sword of life stealing, +2 bashing spiked heavy steel shield, +2 light fortification adamantine full plate armor; Other Gear darkskull (Unhallow effect contains Dimensional Anchor)</blockquote>
