Voidwraith [Companion]
« on: May 07, 2014, 11:35:40 AM »
Voidwraith



This creature appears to be a formless cloud of darkness, broken only by two pinpoints of glowing red. A breeze blows toward it, as if it were drawing air into its body.

A voidwraith is an undead manifestation of elemental air. It hungers for the breath of the living.

Voidwraiths vaguely resemble wraiths in their appearance, but are more amorphous and cloudlike. Still, they share the wraith’s hatred for all living things.

Class Features
A voidwraith lurks in dark places until it can sweep out and attack a living victim. Thanks to its stealth and speed, it often surprises targets.

Voidwraith Body
The Voidwraith loses all other racial bonuses, and gains the following Undead traits.
(click to show/hide)

It is an incorporeal medium sized undead with an incorporeal touch attack dealing 1d4 damage with a fly speed of 60 feet (perfect). It gains a natural armour bonus of +5. It has a -2 penalty to its turn resistance against any creature that can also turn or rebuke elemental creatures.

Ability Score Increase
At each level, the Voidwraith gains a +2 bonus to its Dexterity score.

Incorporeal
At 1st hit dice, the Voidwraith can be harmed by all forms of attack, and can attack others as if it was corporeal. it can interact with unattended corporeal objects for one round three times per day and cannot fly higher than 5 feet off the ground, plus an additional 5 feet per 2 hit dice. It cannot completely hide within objects and interacts with water as if it had a swim speed equal to its fly speed. It cannot chose not to be heard by Listen checks though she does receive a +5 circumstance bonus to Move Silently.

Upon gaining its 5th hit dice, the Voidwraith loses the ability to interact with corporal objects, but can now fly and interact with water as per the incorporeal subtype and receive a +10 circumstance bonus to Move Silently. Nonmagical attacks made by corporeal creatures against the Voidwraith, and melee attacks made by the Voidwraith against corporeal targets, are now ineffective. Magical weapons and spells used by corporeal creatures against the Voidwraith have a 10% chance miss chance, increasing by 10% at 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th hit dice. There is a maximum of a 50% miss chance. Positive energy, negative energy, force effects such as magic missile, and attacks made with ghost touch weapons ignore this miss chance. Magical weapons used by the Voidwraith against corporeal targets have the same miss chance if they aren't ghost touch weapons.

Upon gaining its 10th hit dice, the Voidwraith is fully affected by the incorporeal subtype as normal.

Skills
A voidwraith has a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks.

Steal Breath (Su)
Living creatures hit by a voidwraith’s touch attack must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or take 1d2 points of Constitution drain. (Creatures with the air subtype take a –4 penalty on this save.) When a voidwraith drains a victim’s Constitution, it gains 5 temporary hit points, no matter how many points it drains. Temporary hit points gained in this way last for 1 up to hour. The save DC is Charisma-based. If the target creature is holding its breath and fails the save, the number of rounds of remaining breath is reduced by 2 per point of Constitution drained. If this reduction exhausts all of the target’s remaining breath, it creature must begin making Constitution checks or start to suffocate (see Suffocation, page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Airless Aura (Su)
A voidwraith’s body is surrounded by an aura of near vacuum at all times. This means that any creatures adjacent to the voidwraith have no air to breathe and must hold their breath (see Suffocation, page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).
