Shabti votaries are devout clerics of Pharasma who heal and protect their allies while destroying enemies of their faith. Although shabti votaries focus primarily on destroying undead, they remain a potent enemy against living foes. Shabtis are facsimiles of the rich and powerful, patched together from shards of other souls and offered as a sacrifice to the Boneyard to suffer for the sins of their creator. Shabtis are unaware they aren't the person they emulate, and most spend an eternity endur

Abilities
+2 Status to All Saves vs. Mental and Possession —
Discerning Aura (aura, divine) — 30 feet. All undead within the aura glow blue, shedding dim light in a 5-foot radius. Visible undead can't be Concealed while affected by this aura. Invisible undead are concealed while affected by this aura, rather than being undetected.
Gird in Prayer —
Immortal — Shabtis don't age naturally and can't die of old age. Spells and effects that cause aging still affect a shabti as normal. They also can't be turned into undead.
Cremate Undead — A shabti votary's vitality energy sets undead alight. When a shabti votary uses a Heal spell to damage undead, each undead that takes damage also takes persistent fire damage equal to the spell's rank.
Expand Aura (concentrate) — Frequency once per turn
Effect The shabti votary focuses their will, expanding the area of their discerning aura by 20 feet for 1 minute. This expansion is cumulative with other uses of Expand Aura.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable frontline that keeps taking hits gives this support caster a steady stream of damage worth mitigating rather than being forced to react to a fragile ally.
SnareLANDA controller that keeps a dangerous target locked down buys the actions this healer needs to sustain the rest of the encounter.
PUNISHES
✖ attrition tactics✖ sustained low-damage chip✖ reliance on undead allies
Avoid stacking multiple dedicated support casters; redundant healing wastes actions when the encounter lacks additional damage or control.
