Shrine Caretaker

Creature 3 (rare) — fire, undead, unholy

Creatures whose lives end in flames can return as undead called combusted. Still burning even in death, they're consumed by everlasting anguish that drives them to reckless violence. Although combusted can no longer be truly harmed by fire, they endure the final moments of their death eternally, searing them with endless burning pain. Many combusted attempt to douse themselves in lakes or rivers, believing the flames that wreath their forms must be the source of their pain. However, water is mo

Water Vulnerability — When a shrine caretaker is dealt damage by a water effect, the undead is wracked by pain, becoming Stunned 1. Water can't douse the shrine caretaker's flames. A shrine caretaker who emerges into the rainstorm functions as if Sickened 2 as long as they remain in the downpour. They can't lower this sickened condition on their own, but it ends automatically if they end their turn in shelter (such as areas C3b or C3d ).
Blazing Howl (fire, occult) — The shrine caretaker screams in agony, causing creatures in a 15-foot type:emanation to burst into flame, which deals 4d6 fire damage to each creature in the area (DC 17 Will save). A creature that critically fails its save is Frightened 1; this frightened condition is an emotion, fear, and mental effect. The caretaker can't use Blazing Howl again for 1d4 rounds.
