[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6886888, member: 2209"] [b]Freeport Companion Pathfinder RPG Edition[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/83359/Freeport-Companion-Pathfinder-RPG-Edition?affiliate_id=17596]Freeport Companion Pathfinder RPG Edition[/URL] Pathfinder 1e [b]Fire Spectre:[/b] Fire spectres are undead creatures that arise when a black-hearted villain is burned alive. Their hatred burns so strong that the fires transform them into supernatural terrors. “Fire Spectre” is an acquired template that can be added to any evil humanoid or monstrous humanoid creature that dies by fire. [b]Fire Spectre Rogue 12:[/b] In life, Captain Kothar was a vicious pirate noted for his bloodthirsty tactics and wanton cruelty. After he and his crew attacked and murdered their rivals, claiming their vessel the Winds of Hell for themselves, they were captured, tried, and executed for their crimes. The Captains’ Council decreed they should be lashed to the deck of their bloody ship while the vessel burned down to the waterline. Kothar’s hate ran hotter than the flames and he refused to go to the Nine Hells until he got his vengeance. [b]Flayed Man:[/b] A flayed man is a vile undead creature created when a mortal necromancer botches his efforts to transcend the mortal coil and become a lich. Flayed men represent yet another pitfall of mortal ambition. The procedure for attaining lichdom is perilous indeed, and those incautious fools who dabble in the black arts are at risk of major mishap when they attempt to circumvent the natural order. Flayed men are created whenever a mortal seeks to transcend death and become a lich, but fails to attain the proper ingredients or is otherwise interrupted while in the midst of the ritual. The flesh sloughs from the necromancer’s body in pieces, leaving curled bits of skin to writhe atop of the glistening muscle and sinew. The newly created flayed man has, in some respects, attained its goal, but lacks the power it held in life. [b]Skin Cloak:[/b] A skin cloak, or hollow man, is the animated skin of a mortal humanoid. It is the animated remains of a skinned humanoid. A hollow man consists of the skinned hide of a human or humanoid creature. The flesh is tanned, with any cut marks closed with a heavy thread, and is often tattooed. The curing process results in shrinking the overall hide and thus these creatures are often smaller than they were in life, standing about four feet tall and weighing twenty pounds or less. A spellcaster with an intact hide of a sentient humanoid or monstrous humanoid can create a skin cloak with a create undead spell. [b]Skulldugger:[/b] ? [b]Ghost Human Rogue 1:[/b] The Sea Lord’s Guard chose this night to begin their war and swept through the Eastern District, rounding up anyone they suspected of being affiliated with the Guild. As the sounds of screams and fighting broke out all around, Melanie fled to her home on the edge of Scurvytown, only to find her house in flames and her friends fighting for their lives against a band of Guardsmen. Melanie grabbed the knife from the pouch and threw herself into the combat, terrified and desperate to get to her boys. She lashed out with the blade, unaware that it slew everyone it touched, her eyes fixed only on the small, smoking shapes on her porch. She nearly reached the bodies of her children when a steel-tipped quarrel punched through her middle, piercing her heart.

The knife flared with sickly green light, growing brighter even as the light in her eyes faded. Melanie Crump’s body died, but somehow her spirit lived on, trapped within the accursed knife, bound by her vow until she gets her revenge. [b]Lich:[/b] The procedure for attaining lichdom is perilous indeed, and those incautious fools who dabble in the black arts are at risk of major mishap when they attempt to circumvent the natural order. Flayed men are created whenever a mortal seeks to transcend death and become a lich, but fails to attain the proper ingredients or is otherwise interrupted while in the midst of the ritual. [b]Zombie:[/b] Living creatures reduced to 0 Constitution by a flayed man’s flense or lifedrain attack gain the zombie template after 1d4 rounds. [/QUOTE]
