Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 1258052" data-attributes="member: 172">Death KnightThis is Gavannon Alderheart, a death knight.He's an old villain of the party. But he wasn't a death knight last time they met. He was a mirror clone of a hero in the PCs kingdom who took his place (see the plane of mirrors in Manual of the Planes). They discovered his betrayal and his efforts to build an artifact called the doom engine that made undead regenerate and spontaneously animate. In my timeline, this was a prototype of the temple in CotSQ.Gavannon was slain falling into a pit of negative energy. You know that couldn't last for a follower of a goddess of undeath, do you? Gavannon has now taken his drow lover's side as a death knight.Incidentally, when the Death Knight template first appeared in the dragon, it's constitution drain applied to its weapon attacks. I don't know why they changed it in the MMII. I keep it.Gavannon Alderheart, male human death knight Nob6/Ftr6/Blk10:  CR ; Medium sized undead (6 ft., 0 in. tall); HD 22d12; hp 143; Init +5 (+1 Dex, +4 Improved initiative); Spd 30 ft.; AC 37 (+5 Natural, +12 armor, +5 shield, +4 deflection, +1 Dex); Attack +36/+36/+31/+26/+21 melee [+2 more vs. good] (1d10+14 bastard sword, +2d6 more against good, +1 con point), or +21/+16/+11/+6 ranged; SV Fort +19 (+14 base, +5 Cha), Ref +14 (+7 Base, +2 Dex, +5 Cha), Will +17 (+10 Base, +2 Wis, +5 Cha); AL CE; Str 25 [31], Dex 14, Con – , Int 16, Wis 14, Cha 21[27].    Languages Spoken: Aborian, Draconic, Dwarven, Giant, Gnome, Infernal, Trade Tongue, Turanian, Undercommon.    Skills and feats: Bluff +15 (+11 Rank, +4 Cha), Concentrate +15 (+10 Rank, +5 Cha), Diplomacy +17 (+13 Rank, +4 Cha), Handle Animal +25 (+20 Rank, +5 Cha), Heal +7 (+5 Rank, +2 Wis), Hide +11 (+9 Rank, +2 Dex), Innuendo +8 (+7 Rank, +1 Wis), Intimidate +23 (+19 Rank, +4 Cha), Jump +14 (+9 Rank, +5 Str), Knowledge (Religion) +17 (+14 Rank, +3 Int), Knowledge (Royalty & Nobility) +9 (+6 Rank, +3 Int), Listen +8 (+7 Rank, +1 Wis), Ride +26 (+25 Rank, +1 Dex), Sense Motive +10 (+9 Rank, +1 Wis), Speak Language +4 (+4 Rank), Spot +7 (+6 Rank, +1 Wis), Survival +4 (+3 Rank, +1 Wis); Blind-fight, Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Epic Weapon Focus (Bastard Swrod), Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword), Improved initiative, Improved Critical (Bastard Sword), Improved Sunder, Leadership, Power Attack, Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword), Weapon Specialization (Bastard Sword),    Constitution Drain: Melee attacks do 1 constitution point each.    Abyssal Blast (Su): 1/day at range of 1280 feet, 20d6 damage, half damage fire, half profane.
