Occasionally, the vile and wicked essence of evil coalesces into ebon clouds of thousands of silently screaming, tortured visages that roam the world searching for life to destroy.CombatBlack spawn instinctively move toward any living creature and occupy an area until every living creature there has fallen to the swarm’s strength drain ability or the swarm itself is commanded, rebuked, turned or destroyed. Black spawn are largely unintelligent and have no sense of tactics other than to destroy life wherever it may be found.     Strength Drain (Su): Creature’s caught within the swarm’s space suffer 1d2 points of temporary Strength drain. A Fortitude save (DC 14) negates this damage, but a new save must be made for each round a creature is inside the space of the swarm. The save DC is Charisma-based.     Create Spawn (Su): Creatures that are drained to 0 Strength by the black spawn rise as black spawn under the control of the original swarm. If the black spawn swarm is undamaged, the new spawn form a separate swarm. If the original swarm has suffered damage, the new spawn join the existing swarm.     Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Charisma-based.     Healing Spawn (Su): If the black spawn swarm has suffered damage during the course of an encounter, it can heal 1d6 points of damage to itself for every Hit Die of spawn it creates. A black swarm spawn cannot heal itself beyond its original starting hit points in this manner and any additional spawn created form a new swarm under the original’s control.     Turn Resistance (Ex): Black spawn have turn resistance +2.Black spawn is Copyright 2004 Ian Johnston.
