[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9489087, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/199835/Nemesis-Unleashed?affiliate_id=17596]Nemesis Unleashed[/URL] Pathfinder 1e [b]Corpsetearer:[/b] The vaguely canine Corpsetearer is a collective undead created from the mingled and fragmentary souls of those killed en masse. They might emerge upon distant battlefields, at the sites of horrid genocides or mining collapses, rising unsteadily from the earth. [b]Emperor of the Burning Eye, Cruel Paranoid, Tyrant, Ghost of Flame and Shadow, Colossal Imposing Figure, Shadow Within Armor, Skillful Commander, Daring General:[/b] Using his vast mastery of magic and own fertile imagination, the Emperor transformed himself into something like a deathless God, and transformed his subjects into foul war-creatures. The Emperor’s first defeat was a near thing, only accomplished by a potent coalition of every good hearted creature on the plane, and many of the nobler monsters as well. That defeat cost the Emperor his beauty and the last remnants of his fading Elven nature. However, the great spells the Emperor worked preserved his existence as a ghost of flame and shadow, skulking the halls of his black fortress. [b]Gilded Necromancer:[/b] The path of the Gilded Necromancer is a dark rival to the better understood rites of lich-hood. [b]Perch, Undead Remnants of a Thief Betrayed By Their Own:[/b] Perches are the undead remnants of thieves betrayed by their own- framed, ratted out to the law, or simply throat-slit by some bastard who wanted the thief’s cut. A season in Hell only pissed the Perch off more, and the soul made some foul bargain that allows it revenge and more. [b]Riotblood:[/b] Though called Riotblood, these nasty little undead can congeal anywhere large amounts of blood are spilled in anger. A street riot might produce a few Riotblood, while the grand melee of a gladiatorial arena might spawn dozens, and a horde of hundreds might congeal in the wake of an especially horrific battle. Riotblood are masses of blood, saliva, broken bones, spit teeth and other ichors animated by a dim and malicious instinct. [b]Wax Ghoul:[/b] A Wax Ghoul formed from an articulated and mostly complete human-like skeleton, joined together by expensive golden wire, which is dipped in viscous, milky wax. Wax Ghouls are only dimly intelligent, but it’s a common rumor among necromancers that a soul whose body was used to animate a Wax Golem burns forever. Thus, many necromancers sculpt defeated rivals into Wax Golems for the sheer malicious pleasure of the deed, even if they have far more powerful undead at their disposal.
