Info

Following the failure of his Witch Lords to help him conquer the burgeoning Wildlands, Sallous Yar set about developing alternative agents of his depravity. One of the reasons for the failure of the Witch Lords, the dread god believed, was that he had allowed himself to put his faith in mortals, a mistake he would not repeat. Instead, he would create the Necrozen, his Death Bringers, to do his bidding. The Necrozen are Sallous Yar’s champions and are looked upon with disdain, loathing, and envy by the Witch Lords, even those who have themselves died. Once masters of the Magus of Bones’ undying horde, the Witch Lords resent being relegated to the role of aides and lieutenants to the Necrozen, but they are (usually) too smart to plot against Sallous Yar’s new chosen. Instilled with the dark light of undeath, the Necrozen are selected from those mortal warriors who fervently pursued Sallous Yar’s goals in life and sought nothing but the cold waiting beyond the grave as their reward. The Necrozen seek only to please the Magus of Bones by raising him high upon a pile of the skulls of every living creature in all the world. There are currently only six known Necrozen: Bringer Heon the White, a powerful human wizard and alchemist; Bringer Mazstirod, once a paladin of evil; Bringer Cleon Hellwater, previously an orcish black cardinal of Sallous Yar’s priesthood; Bringer Kazagar Stonefrost, a mighty stone giant monk; Bringer Dreg Dellpelt, a dire werefox barbarian-priest convert from the faithful of Dooned; and Bringer Agathbin Stormcrest, a Rilgoth seductress and psion-sorceress of great ability. It is believed that Sallous Yar created so few of these evil servants because doing so drains him greatly.

This towering humanoid wears flanged and burnished armor suggesting something of a fiendish design. Through the visor, you can see pinpricks of cold light, suggesting the wickedness of the armor penetrates into the being inside. Having always feared death, Mazstirod entered the Magus of Bones’ service as a living champion of the evil god with the ultimate goal of catching his lord’s eye and earning eternal unlife as a reward. His wish was granted when Mazstirod was transformed into the first of Sallous Yar’s Necrozen. Despite having served the god of necromancy for almost a millennia, few scholars have been able to learn much else about Mazstirod’s mortal life.

Languages: Common, Old Rilgoth, Orc Combat Aura of Cold (Su): All living creatures adjacent to Mazstirod must succeed on a DC 22 Fortitude save each round or the aura deals 1d4 points of cold damage. The aura deals 2d4 points of cold damage to plants and plant creatures with no saving throw allowed. The save DC is Charisma-based. Aura of Fear (Su): All enemies within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 22 Will save or take a –4 penalty to all saving throws made while in the area. Contagion (Sp): Mazstirod can cause contagion as the spell, four times per week. Use of this ability requires a DC 12 Concentration check. Fearful Presence (Su): All living creatures within 100 feet of Mazstirod must succeed on a DC 22 Will save or become panicked for 15 rounds. The save DC is Charisma based. Harmful Touch (Su): As a standard action, Mazstirod may make a touch aack to deal any amount of damage, up to 75 per points. Using harmful touch doesn’t provoke an aack of opportunity. Mazstirod decides how many of his daily allotment of points to use as damage aer successfully touching an opponent. Alternatively, he can use this ability to heal damage done to negative energy creatures such as undead. Use of this ability requires a DC 10 Concentration check. Smite Good (Su): Four times per day, Mazstirod may make a special aack, adding a +5 bonus to his aack roll against any good-aligned opponent and dealing +15 points of damage on a successful hit. Wrathful Death (Su): If Mazstirod is destroyed, all corpses within 100 feet are instantly animated as zombies or skeletons, with the benefit of an embolden undead (see below) for the first 2d4 rounds. These animated dead remain until destroyed. All living creatures within the same area take 6d10 points of cold damage. A DC 22 Fortitude save halves this damage. Chapter Six: Monsters of the Archduchy Aura of Death (Su): As a standard action, Mazstirod can animate any corpse within 30 feet as a skeleton or zombie. He can control 60 HD of these animated dead. Embolden Undead (Su): Mazstirod can embolden up to 30 HD of undead at any given time. Rebuke Undead (Su): He can rebuke undead up to eight times per day as a 12th-level cleric. Undead Healing (Su): Mazstirod can drain up to 8 HD from targeted undead with a 30-foot radius. The undead can resist with a DC 22 Will save. Each Hit Die drained repairs 1d4 points of damage. Paladin Spells Prepared (3/2/2/2; save DC 14 + spell level; Concentration check DC 10 + spell level): 1st — bless weapon, command, protection from good; 2nd — ghoul touch, resist energy; 3rd — blindness/ deafness, dispel magic; 4th — dispel good, freedom of movement. Possessions: demon armor, Dreadsun (unholy flaming burst longsword +3), cloak of the bat. Paladin’s Mount (Heavy Warhorse): CR 7; Magical beast; HD 12d8+36; hp 102; Init +1; Spd 60 . (12 squares); AC 24, touch 10, flat-footed 23; Atk +14 melee (1d8+6, hoof); Full Atk +14/+14 melee (1d8+6, 2 hooves) and +9 melee (1d6+3, bite); Space/Reach 10 ./5 .; SA command, share spells; SQ empathic link, improved evasion, lowlight vision, scent, share saving throws, spell resistance 20; AL LE; SV Fort +12, Ref +9, Will +6; Str 22, Dex 13, Con 17, Int 9, Wis 13, Cha 6 Skills & Feats: Balance +5, Jump +12, Listen +5, Move Silently +5, Spot +4; Endurance, Improved Natural Aack (bite), Improved Natural Aack (hooves), Multiaack, Run. Command (Sp): Seven times per day the mount can use this ability to command any normal horse, pony, donkey, or mule if it has fewer Hit Dice than the mount. This ability functions like the command spell, but the mount must make a DC 21 Concentration check to succeed if it’s being ridden at the time. If the check fails, the ability does not work that time, but it still counts against the mount’s daily uses. Each target may aempt a DC 22 Will save to negate the effect. Creating a Necrozen “Necrozen” is a template that can be added to any giant, humanoid, or monstrous humanoid with an Intelligence score of 10 or more (referred to hereaer as the base creature). It uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here. Size and Type: The creature’s type changes to undead. Size is unchanged. Do not recalculate base aack bonus or saves.
