Faithless Ecclesiarch

Creature 6 (uncommon) — undead, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Faithless ecclesiarchs were powerful religious leaders in life—archpriests, hierarchs, oracles, and divine servitors personally blessed by their deities. They are adept at corrupting the pious and inspiring their fellow herexens, often becoming leaders among their kind. This faithless ecclesiarch once worshipped Nethys, god of magic. A herexen is an undead heretic, driven by hate to destroy the deity they once served. Herexens choose their faith willingly in life, rising to become respected rel

Abilities

Final Blasphemy (divine, void) — When the herexen is destroyed, it explodes in a wave of void energy with the effects of a 3rd-level, 3-action Harm spell (DC 24 Fortitude). The herexen is destroyed, so it doesn't gain any Hit Points from this use of harm , and it doesn't need to have any harm spells remaining to use this ability.
Inspire the Faithless (aura, divine) — 30 feet. Other herexens are bolstered by the presence of a faithless ecclesiarch. Whenever a herexen in the aura casts a Harm spell, that harm spell is heightened by 1 rank (to a maximum of 3rd).
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Heretic's Smite (divine) — While wielding the favored weapon of its former deity (such as a staff for an ex-Nethys herexen), the herexen's Strikes deal an additional 2d6 spirit damage against creatures that can cast divine spells. This damages divine spellcasters who follow the herexen's former faith regardless of their alignment.
