Atropal

• Atropal
• Scion

Summary

Atropals are stillborn godlings who have spontaneously risen as undead. A foul aura surrounds the Abomination, snuffing out weaker life and draining the souls of those near it. When one rises the Gods cringe and seal them in tombs for all time. But sometimes the barriers are broken and one is freed to wreak havoc on the multiverse.

Unlike other Abominations, however, an Atropal is closer to divinity than most realize, making it far harder to kill. If its proper form is slain but its body not completely destroyed, its remaining flesh can reform into an Atropal Scion to furthur its goals of widespread death and destruction.

Notable Attacks and Techniques (Scion)

Death Gaze (Su): Death, range 60 feet; Fortitude DC 19 negates. The save DC is Charisma-based. Humanoids who die from this attack are transformed into wights 24 hours later. Negative Energy Aura (Su): A 60-foot-radius negative energy aura surrounds an atropal scion. All undead in the aura (including the atropal scion) are treated as if they have +4 turn resistance and fast healing 5. Living creatures in the aura are treated as having two negative levels unless they have some sort of negative energy protection or protection from evil. Creatures with 2 or less HD fall dead in the negative energy aura (and, at the atropal scion’s option, rise as wights under the atropal scion’s command 1 minute later). Rebuke Undead (Su): An atropal scion can rebuke or command undead as a cleric of the same level as the atropal scion’s HD. Unholy Grace (Su): An atropal scion adds its Charisma modifier as a bonus on all its saving throws and as a deflection bonus to its Armor Class.

Creatures with 10 or fewer HD or levels perish (and, at the atropals option, rise as spectres under the atropals command 1 minute later).
