[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9679316, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/336405/Oathbound-Complete--d20?affiliate_id=17596]Oathbound Domains of the Forge[/URL] 3.0 [b]Lector:[/b] It is not entirely known how a lector forms, though it is believed that a lector is created when an ordinary skeletal undead creature comes into contact with a powerful evil object. When such an event occurs, the skeleton is endowed with a powerful intelligence and a desire to seek out and find other such items and absorb them into themselves. The items that the lector acquires bestow it with intense power, making it a dangerous and frightening opponent. [b]Lector, Intelligent Undead Creature, Dangerous Frightening Opponent, Skeletal Abomination:[/b] ? [b]Undead, Undead Creature, The Dead:[/b] For example, a sword caused all slain by it to rise again as an undead under the control of the Warlock that created the sword. [T]hose that fail during the process are later animated as undead sentries, and live on in undeath to further guard Zul’s holdings.

[b]Nasty-Cloud-God, Fiendish Caller in Darkness, Great Psionic Storm of Undeath, Nasty Cloud God, Undead Manifestation, Evil Red Cloud That Possesses a Myriad of Screaming Demonic Faces Within its Form:[/b] Deep beneath Urdur’s ruined castle, in the ruins of Fort Glory, the cerebrillith and most of the demons were slain, leaving behind a Caller in the Darkness, a great psionic storm of undeath. In reality, the god is nothing more than an undead manifestation of the many tanar’ri that were suddenly smashed to bits during the cataclysmic sinking of this area. However, the Caller in Darkness that was formed by the death of the cerebrillith and many other demons is definitely real, and attacks anyone it detects entering the room other than the Queen.
