I keep telling myself to, and I keep putting it off, and realisticly, I dont think I'll ever quite finish. So I'm just gonna post his half-done stats as is. Which is a littlebit of a letdown for myself and a definite letdown for John.I just... its so terribly difficult to work with highlevel monsters. You change one number, and suddenly there are a million different things that need to be changed- DCs, HPs, attacks, damage, spells, etc. Its just too darn daunting. I'll leave it to Blackdirge, and stick with low level monsters.The Cursed Rogue, Damned Lich Fighter 20Medium Undead (Evil)Hit Points: 20d12Init: +Speed: 30 ft.AC: (+7 NaturalBase/Grapple: +20/+28Standard attack: Long Claw +26 (1d8+6 + unholy touch + corrupting venom + paralysis) ORShort Claws +26 (1d4+3 + unholy touch + corrupting venom + paralysis) ORDeathdealers +28(1d10+10 + 1d6 Flaming + 2d6 unholy (against good)+ unholy touch + paralysis) ORLifetakers +26/+21/+16/+11 (1d10+11 + unholy touch + paralysis)Full attack: 2 Long Claws +24 (1d8+6 + unholy touch + corrupting venom + paralysis) OR2 Deathdealers +28(1d10+10 + 1d6 Flaming + 2d6 unholy (against good)+ unholy touch + paralysis)Bite +19(1d6+3 + unholy touch + paralysis)2 Short Claws +19(1d4+3 + unholy touch + corrupting venom + paralysis) OR 2 Lifetakers +24/+19/+14/+9 (1d10+8 + unholy touch + paralysis)Special Abilities: Long Claws (Ex), Corrupting Venom (Ex),Howl of the Damned (Su), Unholy Touch(Su)DC 25, Fear Aura (Su) DC 25, Paralyzing Touch(Su) DC 25Special Qualities: Aura of Damnation (Su) DC 25, Proof Against Aging, Spell-Like Abilities, Turn Resistance (Ex), DR 15/Bludgoning and Magic, Undead Immunities (Ex), Darkvision 60 ft.

These claws end in what could be called hands, and can hold weapons. When used as natural weapons, they are each primary weapons, and deal regular damage, the unholy touch ability, the paralyzing touch ability, and the corrupting venom ability. When used to hold either a weapon (either or both claws), The Cursed Rogue can channel both the unholy touch and the paralyzing touch through his weapon, but not the corrupting venom. Unfortunately, weapons in these long claws are treated as an extension of natural weapons, and do not gain their full attack progression. Due to the length of these long claws, each claw can be treated as threatening either from the Cursed Rogue’s combat square, or from any unoccupied square within five feet of his square (the eight directly around him). The long claws may both attack from the same unoccupied square, if he wishes. They do in fact “attack” from those squares, allowing the Cursed Rogue a semblance of reach. That is, he can strike an enemy two squares away by attacking with his claws from the square in between himself and his enemy.This also allows him to “flank” an enemy with his long claws, granting each a +2 bonus if they attack from both sides.Corrupting Venom (Ex): To be added... eventually.Howl of the Damned (Su):To be added... eventually.Unholy Touch(Su)DC 25:To be added... eventually.Fear Aura (Su) DC 25:To be added... eventually.Paralyzing Touch(Su) DC 25:To be added... eventually.Aura of Damnation (Su) DC 25:To be added... eventually.Proof Against Aging:To be added... eventually.Spell-Like Abilities:To be added... eventually.Turn Resistance (Ex):To be added... eventually.Undead Immunities (Ex): Cold, Electricity, Polymorph (Can willingly fail saves), Mind-affecting effects, Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Stunning, Disease, Death Effects.
