[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6904504, member: 2209"] [b]Monsters of Porphyra[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/125341/Monsters-of-Porphyra?affiliate_id=17596]Monsters of Porphyra[/URL] Pathfinder 1e [b]Barrow Wight:[/b] Any humanoid creature that is slain by a barrow wight becomes a barrow wight itself in only 1d4 rounds. The barrow wight is a product of material greed. When a being so corrupted by their own greed dies through a covetous action or simple neglect for their own well-being, they possess the potential to rise as a barrow wight. This potential becomes a certainty, if they are buried alongside their wealth. [b]Fukuranbou:[/b] Its own vanity eventually led to the creature’s death and resurrection as an unholy abomination. [b]Iron Lich:[/b] “Ironclad Lich” is an acquired template that can be applied to any psionic creature capable for creating the required mechanical body. An integral part of becoming an ironclad lich is the creation of the body in which the character stores his soul and the soul cages it traps its memory and psionic energy within. Each ironclad lich must create its own ironclad body using the Craft Construct feat and its own soul cages by using the Craft Cognizance Crystal feat. The character must be able to manifest powers and have a manifester level of 11th or higher. The iron body costs 24,500 gp to create and its soul cages for 30,000 gp a piece. The most common form of soul cage is a metal lantern with an embedded crystal that radiates light in a 30 ft. radius. The lantern is sealed and has psionic sigils covering its surface. The soul cage is tiny has 40 hit points, hardeness 20, and break DC of 40. [b]Pattern of Suffering Ironclad Lich Human Cryptic 11:[/b] ? [b]Knollman:[/b] ? [b]Octospine:[/b] The octospine is a hideous creature, believed to be the creation of a demon lord. [b]Sage Whisperer:[/b] Some say, that the sage whisperers are the undying souls of the lost Savants of the Fifth Element, but these are merely speculations. [b]Shebbah:[/b] Shebbah (translated to ‘pitied one’) is the restless spirit of a geniekind, its soul torn from its body by terrible divine magic. [b]Undead Elementals:[/b] ‘Ordinary’ elementals may also be bound to the Material Plane through energy level drain from spell or creature. [b]Vampiric Dragon:[/b] “Vampiric dragon” is an acquired template that can be applied to any dragon. A dragon or magical beast slain by a vampiric dragon’s energy drain attack rises as a vampiric thrall 1d4 days after death. The majority of vampiric dragons have been created by way of a vain, old dragon, or one with a task that needs a very long time to complete, trading a significant amount of treasure in exchange for a necromantic process that leaves the dragon a free-willed, though blood-desiring undead. [b]Auroscruour Ancient Vampiric Gold Dragon:[/b] He allowed the necromancers of The Empire of the Dead to transform him into a vampire. [b]Vampiric Thrall:[/b] A vampiric thrall is normally created when a living creature willingly takes a blood gift from a vampire or vampire scion. The master must give up at least 10 hp in blood (this heals normally), and gains 1 negative level for every 4 HD of thralls it creates (round down). A vampiric dragon can also create a vampiric thrall simply by reducing a creature’s Constitution to 0 through blood drain. It does not incur negative levels for doing so. “Vampiric thrall” is a acquired template that can be applied to any corporeal animal or magical beast. [b]Vampiric Thrall Giant Frog:[/b] ? [b]Vampiric Thrall Axe Beak:[/b] ? [b]Zombie Rat:[/b] Whenever one zombie rat dies, another 1d6 zombie rats spawns from its womb. [b]Ghoul:[/b] The sickness of vanity that consumed the soul of the fukuranbou now manifests itself as a powerful wasting curse that it can inflict with its claws. Several small villages have been lost to this curse. Victims who die this way sometimes come back from the dead as ghouls. [/QUOTE]
