ShadeWeaverAERIALbeastundead

In ancient times, a cabal of primalists imbued an amalgam of beasts with both supernatural might and a hatred of magic itself, hoping to achieve a potent weapon for use against arcane spellcasters. Effective beyond expectation, the first leydroths broke free and turned on their creators. Worse, the leydroths bred true, and these reclusive predators have long outlived their original creators. Leydroths look like distorted, apelike felines with many-branching horns growing from the backs of their

Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Dispelling Roar (auditory, emotion, fear, mental, primal) — The leydroth unleashes a bestial roar that reverberates within a 30-foot emanation. It rolls an Intimidation check and compares the result to the Will DC of each creature in the area, with the effects of Demoralize.

It also uses this result to attempt to counteract each spell or magical effect in the area, plus one item or effect on each creature in the area, with the effects of Dispel Magic.

The leydroth can't use Dispelling Roar again for 1d4 rounds.

Dispelling Strike (primal) — Frequency once per round

Trigger The leydroth hits a creature, object, or spell effect with a Strike

Effect The leydroth casts its innate Dispel Magic, targeting one effect on the creature struck.

Spell Feedback (primal) — Any time a leydroth counteracts a spell or item, the spell's caster or the creature holding the item takes 8d6 mental damage (DC 38 Will save).
