AnvilCrasherLANDundeadunholy

The weight of murder wears heavy on the soul. With souls marked by a lifetime of dealing death, these killers, whether mass murderers, bloodthirsty soldiers, or sadistic executioners, sometimes do not let judgment and lawful execution stanch their slaying sprees. When such individuals are brought to justice, they may rise after death as mohrgs to continue their ruinous work. Drawn to others of their kind, mohrgs prefer to hunt in small groups, occasionally in partnership with weaker free-willed

Abilities

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.
Paralysis (incapacitation, occult) — A living creature hit by a mohrg's tongue Strike must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save or become Paralyzed. The creature can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each attempt.
Grab

WORKS WELL WITH

SniperLANDWhile the spawn immobilizes a target with Grab, a ranged ally can deliver damage from outside the paralysis tongue's reach.
FlankerLANDA mobile melee ally circling a grabbed target provides flanking, making the spawn's paralyzing strikes more likely to land.
MenderLANDVoid Healing makes the spawn dependent on negative healing support to sustain its frontline lockdown.
