Abilities

Flammable — A tar zombie requires a successful DC 20 flat check to recover from persistent fire damage. This DC isn't reduced for assisted recovery.
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.
Vomit Tar (primal) — The tar zombie vomits a gout of sticky tar in a 15-foot cone that deals 5d6 bludgeoning damage ((DC 24 Reflex) save). Creatures that fail the save are Slowed 1 and gain fire weakness 5. Both conditions end after 3 rounds or when the tar is scrubbed off (which requires 3 Interact actions). The tar zombie can't Vomit Tar again for 1d4 rounds.
Improved Grab

WORKS WELL WITH

SniperLAND / VERTICALA grabbed and slowed target can't easily reach the backline, letting ranged attackers work safely.
CrasherLAND / VERTICALGrouped foes softened by the tar cone become easy burst targets for a heavy striker.
WeaverLAND / VERTICALFire weakness applied by the tar sets up any caster who can deliver fire damage for outsized effect.
