Owb Prophet

Creature 13 (rare) — shadow, unholy

SniperSnareLANDAERIALshadowunholycold

An owb who comes into contact and is chosen by one of the Forsaken gains a fragment of that demigod's power and forges a permanent connection with it. This act transforms the owb into a larger, more powerful creature and imbues it with the power of divine transference, allowing the owb to gain followers and grant spells to them. These are owb prophets. Owb prophets may have some portion of the Forsaken's power, but they use their authority to gain more sway over calignis and other worshippers.

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, mental) — 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.
Forsaken Patron — Each owb prophet serves as a conduit to one of the shadowy demigods known as the Forsaken. Forsaken patrons are detailed below, and each grants the owb prophet additional abilities.

Each owb prophet gains its power through a connection with a Forsaken patron. The patron grants the owb additional spells and has its own religious symbol and favored weapons. Each entry notes any ability or occult innate spell the Forsaken grants to its prophets, plus its favored weapon.

Enkaar, the Malformed Prisoner This mutilated horror is the Forsaken patron of fetters, lethargy, and physical corruption.

Light Blindness — When first exposed to bright light, the monster is Blinded until the end of its next turn. After this exposure, light doesn't blind the monster again until after it spends 1 hour in darkness. However, as long as the monster is in an area of bright light, it's Dazzled.
Burning Cold Fusillade — The owb prophet makes three burning cold Strikes.
Clutching Cold — A creature hit by the prophet's burning cold Strike becomes Immobilized in a cluster of binding ice crystals (Escape).
Curse of Darkness — The owb inflicts a curse on one creature taking persistent cold damage from their burning cold Strike, stealing the victim's vibrancy. The creature must attempt a DC 32 Fortitude save.

On a failure, the creature gains Light Blindness and its coloration turns to washed out shades of gray, along with all equipment it carries, wields, or wears. These effects have an unlimited duration. Regardless of the result of its save, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

If the owb uses this ability on a caligni, the curse can't be removed short of a Wish ritual or similar powerful magic.
Shadow's Swiftness — An owb prophet can Cast Umbral Journey as a 3-action activity instead of 1 minute. If they do so, they target only themself.

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLAND / AERIALA melee brute forces the party into close range where the immobilizing ice crystals link up with heavier hits.
ShadeLAND / AERIALA stealthy skirmisher keeps pressure on backline targets the prophet has already cursed.
