SPECIAL ABILITIES
Pallid Bond (Ex) A carrionstorm never initiates an attack on a creature that openly wears a symbol of Ugathoa
or that is itself undead. If attacked first by such a creature, the carrionstorm's swarm attack deals only 1d3 points
of damage to that creature rather than the usual 1d6 points.
Vulnerable to Channeled Energy (Ex) A carrionstorm takes 150% as much damage as normal from
channeled positive energy.
Distraction (Ex) A creature with this ability can nauseate the creatures that it damages. Any living creature
that takes damage from a creature with the distraction ability is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save (DC 10 +
1/2 creature's HD + creature's Con modifier) negates the effect.
Swarm Traits A swarm has no clear front or back and no discernable anatomy, so it is not subject to critical
hits or flanking. A swarm made up of Tiny creatures takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons. A
swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage. Reducing a swarm to 0 hit
points or less causes it to break up, though damage taken until that point does not degrade its ability to attack or
resist attack. Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage. Also, they cannot be tripped,
grappled, or bull rushed, and they cannot grapple an opponent.
A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target

Chap 2 – Part IV – Page 2

spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects,
patterns, and phantasms) if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind. A swarm takes half again as
much damage (+50%) from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash weapons and many evocation
spells.
Description Where the dead walk, the carrion birds follow. In most cases, the unfortunate birds that feast on
the remains of fallen undead creatures simply grow diseased and die. Yet the flesh of some ghouls has an
altogether different effect upon such scavengers, and when they die of the poisoned repast, they do not stay dead
for long. Alone, an undead crow or vulture is little more than a hideous mockery, but in rare cases where
ghoulish activity is thick, entire colonies of carrion birds can succumb to undeath, retaining their flock mentality
yet no longer seeking the flesh of the freshly dead to sate their hunger. Carrionstorms, as these flocks of undead
birds are called, find brief respite from their morbid hunger only when their meals are warm and screaming.
Carrionstorms are typically found near graveyards, haunted structures, or abandoned villages where ghouls have
been active. Many necromancers and cultists of Urgathoa have a particular fondness for carrionstorms, and
since the birds have a strange respect for the symbol of the Pallid Princess, rookeries of them are often found
roosting in the nooks of the goddess of undeath's macabre cathedrals.
Although the individual undead birds that make up a carrionstorm are little more intelligent than they were in
life, as a while, a carrionstorm forms a rudimentary hive mind that grants its members a slight bit more intellect
than the typical bird. This not only allows the undead birds to utilize basic tactics, but allows rudimentary
speech as well. Most carrionstorms understand a few dozen words in Necril, the language of the dead, and the
sound of thousands of these undead carrions birds croaking out strange words can be truly unsettling to those
who aren't prepared for the horror. This same hive mind allows necromancers to treat an entire carrionstorm as
a single undead creature with regard to the effects of spells like command undead and control undead, or feats
like Command Undead. The swarms make excellent scouts, and even better threats against small towns and
superstitious c0mmunities

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Power Attack (Combat) You can choose to take a –2 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver
checks to gain a +4 bonus on all melee damage rolls. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack
roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do
not deal hit point damage.
Cleave (Combat) As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe
within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack
bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach. You can only make one additional attack
per round with this feat. When you use this feat, you take a –2 penalty to your Armor Class until your next turn.
Baleful Shriek (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, a revenant can shriek as a standard action. All creatures within a
60-foot spread must make a DC 18 Will save or cower in fear for 1d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.
The save DC is Charisma-based.
Step Up (Combat) Whenever an adjacent foe attempts to take a 5-foot step away from you, you may also make
a 5-foot step as an immediate action so long as you end up adjacent to the foe that triggered this ability. If you
take this step, you cannot take a 5-foot step during your next turn. If you take an action to move during your next
turn, subtract 5 feet from your total movement.

Chap 2 – Part IV – Page 4

Reason to Hate (Su) A revenant's existence is fueled by its hatred for its murderer. As long as the murderer
exists, the revenant exists. If the murderer dies, the revenant is immediately slain. A murderer who becomes
undead does not trigger a revenant's destruction. When a revenant encounters its murderer, it gains the benefits
of a haste spell (CL 20th) that lasts as long as its murderer remains in sight. Against its murderer, the revenant
also gains a +4 profane bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, grapple checks, and saving throws.
Self-Loathing (Ex) When confronted with its reflection or any object that was important to it in life, a revenant
must make a DC 20 Will save to avoid becoming overwhelmed with self-pity. This condition renders the revenant
helpless, and lasts until the revenant is attacked or sees its murderer. If a revenant resists becoming
overwhelmed, the revenant becomes obsessed with the source that triggered the saving throw and does
everything it can to destroy it, reacting to the trigger as if the trigger were its murderer and gaining bonuses from
its reason to hate ability.
Sense Murderer (Su) A revenant knows the direction but not the distance to its murderer—this sense can be
blocked by any effect that blocks scrying. Against its murderer, a revenant has true seeing and discern lies in
effect at all times (CL 20th); these abilities cannot be dispelled.
Grab (Ex) If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it
deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply to use the part of its body it used in the
grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and
maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself. A successful hold does not deal any extra
damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each
successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the
attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the
creature's descriptive text).
Creatures with grab receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple.
Unless otherwise noted, grab works only against opponents no larger than the same size category as the creature.
Constrict (Ex) A creature with this special attack can crush an opponent, dealing bludgeoning damage, when it
makes a successful grapple check (in addition to any other effects caused by a successful check, including
additional damage). The amount of damage is given in the creature's entry and is typically equal to the amount of
damage caused by the creature's melee attack.
Description Fueled by hatred and a need for vengeance, a revenant rises from the grave to hunt and kill its
murderer. Devoid of any compassion, emotion, or logic, a revenant has but one purpose, and cannot rest until it
has found vengeance.

rise soon thereafter as a ghast or other undead horror. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Distraction (Ex) A creature with this ability can nauseate the creatures that it damages. Any living creature
that takes damage from a creature with the distraction ability is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save (DC 10 +

Description A rat swarm typically consists of a biting, roiling mass of hundreds of disease-ridden rats driven to

uncharacteristic heights of aggression by fantastic and overwhelming hunger. In such numbers, they become
voracious hunters, capable of killing a full-grown human with hundreds of bites. Rat swarms are often found in
the sewers of large human settlements. Rat swarms surround and attack any warm-blooded prey in their path.

Disease (Su) Ghoul Fever: Bite—injury; save Fort DC 16; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Con and
1d3 Dex damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Charisma-based. A humanoid who dies of ghoul fever
rises as a ghoul at the next midnight (see ghouls).
Screech (Su) Once per day as a standard action, a skaveling can screech as a mobat, save that those who are
affected are stunned for 1d3 rounds unless they make a DC 16 Fortitude save. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Paralysis (Su) This special attack renders the victim immobile. Paralyzed creatures cannot move, speak, or
take any physical actions. The creature is rooted to the spot, frozen and helpless. Unlike hold person and similar
effects, a paralysis effect does not allow a new save each round. A winged creature flying in the air at the time
that it is paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls. A swimmer can't swim and may drown.
Mobility (Combat) You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you
move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if
any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most types of bonuses.
Flyby Attack When flying, the creature can take a move action and another standard action at any point during
the move. The creature cannot take a second move action during a round when it makes a flyby attack.
Description Known in some circles as ghoul bats, skavelings are the hideous result of necromantic
manipulation by urdefhans, who create them from mobats specially raised on diets of fungus and humanoid

flesh. Upon reaching maturity, urdefhans ritually slay the bats using necrotic poisons, then raise the corpses to
serve as mounts and guardians.

Yellow Mold (CR 6): If disturbed, a 5-foot square of this mold bursts forth with a cloud of poisonous spores. All
within 10 feet of the mold must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or take 1d3 points of Constitution damage. Another
DC 15 Fortitude save is required once per round for the next 5 rounds, to avoid taking 1d3 points of Constitution
damage each round. A successful Fortitude save ends this effect. Fire destroys yellow mold, and sunlight renders
it dormant.

rises as a ghoul at the next midnight. A humanoid who becomes a ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it

Description Ghouls are undead that haunt graveyards and eat corpses. Legends hold that the first ghouls were
either cannibalistic humans whose unnatural hunger dragged them back from death or humans who in life fed
on the rotting remains of their kin and died (and were reborn) from the foul disease—the true source of these
undead scavengers is unclear.
Ghouls lurk on the edges of civilization (in or near cemeteries or in city sewers) where they can find ample
supplies of their favorite food. Though they prefer rotting bodies and often bury their victims for a while to
improve their taste, they eat fresh kills if they are hungry enough. Though most surface ghouls live primitively,
rumors speak of ghoul cities deep underground led by priests who worship ancient cruel gods or strange demon

Chap 2 – Part IV – Page 11

lords of hunger. These “civilized” ghouls are no less horrific in their eating habits, and in fact the concept of a
well-laid ghoul banquet table is perhaps even more horrifying than the concept of taking a meal fresh from the
coffin.
