Abilities & Attacks
Saving Throws: +1 status to all saves vs. magic Painsight (divine). A velstrac automatically knows whether a creature it sees has any of the Doomed, Dying, and Wounded conditions as well as the value of those conditions. +1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic Regeneration 10 (Deactivated by Holy or Silver). This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4. Reactive Strike (reaction). Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike. Staggering Servitude (aura, divine, fear, mental, visual). 30 feet. When a creature ends its turn in the aura, it sees a vision of the sacristan groveling in pitiable servitude. The creature must succeed at a DC 27 Will save or become Stunned 1. Focus Gaze (1 action) (concentrate, divine, fear, visual). The sacristan eerily stares at a creature they can see within 30 feet. The creature must immediately attempt a Will save against staggering servitude. In addition, if the creature was already stunned, on a failed save, its revulsion toward the sacristan's presence causes it to be Stupefied 2 for 1 minute. After attempting this save, the creature is then temporarily immune to Focus Gaze until the start of the sacristan's next turn. Shadow Scream (3 actions) (aura, concentrate, darkness, divine, mental, sonic). Frequency once per hour. Effect The sacristan opens their mouth to unloose the wailing howls and mind-twisting darkness of the plane of shadow. This creates a 30-foot emanation of darkness and wailing sounds around the sacristan. Creatures with darkvision can't see through this darkness. The sacristan can Sustain Shadow Scream for up to 1 minute. Non-velstrac creatures in the area when the ability is used, as well as those who enter or start their turn in the area, must attempt a DC 28 Will save. Critical Success The creature is unaffected and is then temporarily immune for 24 hours. Success The creature is Deafened for 1 round. Failure The creature is Confused and deafened for 1 round. Critical Failure The creature takes 20 mental damage, and is confused and deafened for 1 round.
