Deathjack
Necrovent (Su): A black greasy necrotic ash leaks out of
the Deathjack’s smoke vents and engine seams. Twice per day
the Deathjack can vent this soot to form a 30-foot radius
cloud around the construct. This cloud remains stationary for
2d4 rounds.
Any living thing within the ash cloud must make a
Fortitude save (DC 20) each round. The save is Constitutionbased.
Creatures of 3 HD or less take 1d10 points of damage
with a successful save, while those that fail die immediately.
Creatures with more than 3 HD that fail their saving throw
take 1d10 points of damage as the ash blackens and eats their
flesh. A successful save results in half damage.
The ash cloud is heavy and thick, and attempts to disperse
it with magical winds are half as effective. Visibility in the
ash cloud is 50%, and the ash cloud provides concealment
(20% miss chance).
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability,
the deathjack must hit with its slam
attack. It can then attempt to start a
grapple as a free action without
provoking an attack of opportunity.
Once it has established
a grapple, it will
toss its opponent
into its furnace
through the
black iron
hatch.
Swallow
Whole (Ex): See swallow
whole, MM . Once the
Deathjack has its quarry in its grasp, the
victim is tossed into its furnace. Inside the furnace
individuals suffer 4d6 points of fire damage per round. In
addition the ingested must make a Fortitude save (DC 20)
each round while in the belly of the beast, or lose one level.
The save DC is Constitution-based. It is possible to force a
way out through the Deathjack’s furnace hatch with a Strength
check (DC 25). Attacks made from the inside of its belly are
affected by its damage reduction.
Smite Good (Su): The Deathjack’s fiendish nature allows
it to assault the forces of good with great power. Once per day
the Deathjack can add 20 points of damage to a single melee
slam attack versus a good creature.
Skulls of Hate (Su): Mounted on each shoulder of the
Deathjack is a skull-shaped lantern. The lanterns act not only
34
as spell focuses for the construct, but also provide 360-degree
vision, making it impossible to surprise the construct.
The skulls of hate can cast spells from the Death or
Destruction clerical domains as a 17th-level cleric (including
the number of spells available). They must make a
Concentration check at +10 if they are struck while casting.
These grim lanterns also empower the ‘jack with the granted
abilities of the Death and Destruction domains: detect undead
and smite as a 17th-level cleric. If not casting spells the skulls of
hate make a soft chanting noise, and the flames inside of them
glow a hellish red.
Soul Furnace (Su): The soul furnace metabolizes lifeforce.
This horrid engine can hold one Medium creature or
two Small creatures. Although the Deathjack’s infernal engine
can keep it going without souls, life energy can repair
damage done to the construct.
For every level the Deathjack
drains it can heal 1d10 hp.
It can store life
force like
a battery,
holding
up to 20
levels in
the furnace.
It
can expend
these like charges
(1–4 charges per
round as a free action).
The energy heals 1d10
hit points per charge spent.
When encountered, the Deathjack
usually has 5–10 charges stored in its
fiery gut. These dissipate slowly, at a charge
a day, if unused.
Spawn Undead (Su): Any creatures slain by
the ash vented from the Deathjack’s furnace will rise
again in 24 hours as full-strength zombies or skeletons with a
+4 turn resistance. Imbued with a dark appetite these creatures
slowly wander to areas of civilization to feed off of the living.
Washing a corpse in holy water or casting bless on the corpse
will prevent it from rising as long as the blessing takes place
within the first 12 hours after death.
Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: The Deathjack is a horridly evil device that
kills indiscriminately. It saps the life of the living to power
its furnace.
