Unfeeling Empath

Creature 2 (uncommon) — undead, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

WeaverShadeLANDundeadunholy

The soul of a gnome killed by tragedy sometimes becomes so entangled in conflicting emotions that it becomes trapped and reanimates its own corpse. Known as unfeeling empaths, these undead wander in search of others' emotions. When they find thinking prey, they relentlessly goad that creature to elicit and consume their feelings. Though initially harmless, feeding drives an unfeeling empath into an expressive frenzy as they overload the victim's mind, resuming their senses only after their prey

Abilities

Empathic Sense (Precise) 60 feet (occult) — The unfeeling empath perceives all creatures affected by an emotion effect at the listed range.
Emotional Extremes — If a creature rolls a success at a check to affect an unfeeling empath with an emotion effect, the creature gets a critical success instead. If a creature rolls a failure to affect an unfeeling empath with an emotion effect, the creature gets a critical failure instead. Likewise, when an unfeeling empath rolls a success at a Will save against an emotion effect, it gets a critical success instead. When a unfeeling empath rolls a failure at a Will save against an emotion effect, it gets a critical failure instead.
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.
Cathartic Howl (auditory, emotion, mental, sonic) —
Drink Emotions (emotion, healing, mental) —
Goad (emotion, mental, occult) — The unfeeling empath floods a creature within 30 feet with countless memories and sensations. The target must attempt a DC 18 Will save.

Failure The target is Stupefied 1 until the end of the unfeeling empath's next turn.
