First Failed Save: Dead.(I was initially going to say "is not unconcious but fights on with the dazed condition until reaching negative bloodied, and takes ongoing 5damage per tier every round until dead ... but then i realized this is an NPC and all that wouldn't make sense for them, only pcs)Veil of the Soulless: The soulless creature is invisible to creatures with the undead subtype  (or perhaps restrict this to unintelligent undead?)Mark of the Soulless: (minor action; at-will). Target: all adjacent enemies that does not have the Soulless template. The void in the soulless body calls to the target's spirit.  The target is marked by the Soulless until the end of the Soulless's next turn.  While marked, if the target ends his turn further from the Soulless than he started, he takes 5 (per tier) necrotic damage.(or make something similar to the paladin's divine challenge)Anyway, just random thoughts... if i think of others, i'll add more ..</blockquote>
