Erinyes exact vengeance and bloody justice for a creature's crimes, torturing and punishing their victims in ironic fashion before allowing them the escape of death. While an erinys appears as a fallen angel and the first erinyes shared that origin, erinyes now originate in myriad ways, some promoted from lesser devils and others shaped from lemures themselves forged from the souls of torturers and persecutors. The erinyes' origin is entwined with Eiseth, herself a fallen angel and one of Hell's

Abilities

Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical) — A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic
Flames of Fury — Any weapon an erinys holds gains the effects of a Flaming rune while they hold it.
Furious Fusillade — The erinys hovers in place if they are flying and fires one arrow at any number of creatures in a 30-foot cone. Each attack is rolled separately. This counts as one attack for the purpose of the erinys's multiple attack penalty.
Rope Snare — An erinys carries a coil of rope woven of their hair (use the statistics for Rope) that animates in their hands.

When a creature is hit by the erinys's rope, a segment of the rope tears loose and wraps itself around the creature, imposing a 10-foot circumstance penalty to Speed. The piece that tears off is 10 feet long for a Medium or smaller creature, and doubles in length for each size larger than Medium.

When a creature Escapes the effect, the detached segment of rope withers away into useless black sludge.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ low Will✖ melee reliance
Avoid pairing with another aerial ranged specialist; both compete for the same altitude and line-of-sight advantage.
