Vanth Warrior
Creature 14 (uncommon) — monitor, psychopomp
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
Protecting the Boneyard are the stern and resolute guardians of the dead known as vanths, psychopomps who resemble skeletons with raven-like wings and a mask resembling a vulture's skull. Vanths carry black scythes to fight against those who would disturb the natural progression of souls, and they consider any visitor to the Boneyard a potential troublemaker. When the psychopomp armies go to war, vanths serve as front-line soldiers. They rarely speak and even more rarely show any emotion other t

Frightful Presence
Infuse Weapon (divine) — A vanth's scythe is their symbol of office and gains a measure of their personal power. This scythe becomes a +2 striking scythe and is treated as if it were adamantine while the vanth wields it. A vanth whose scythe is taken or destroyed can infuse a new one with an hour of work.
Reaping Scythe — The vanth throws their scythe, which flies in a 60-foot line, dealing 6d8 slashing damage to all creatures in the area (DC 34 Reflex) and returns to the vanth's hand.
Spirit Touch (incorporeal) — A vanth's Strikes affect incorporeal creatures with the effects of a Ghost Touch property rune and deal 3d6 void damage to living creatures and 3d6 vitality damage to undead.
Vanth's Curse (curse, divine, misfortune) — Frequency three times per day
Effect The vanth bestows a curse on a creature by touching it with their scythe. The creature must attempt a DC 34 Will save.
**Critical Success** The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune to Vanth's Curse for 24 hours.
**Success** The target feels a momentary shudder of doom and is Stupefied 2 for 1 minute by the distracting sensation.
**Failure** The target becomes morose and glum as it accepts its own inevitable fate. For 1 hour, the target is Stupefied 3. Each time the target gains the dying condition, the stupefied value increases by 1, to a maximum value of stupefied 6.
**Critical Failure** As failure, but the effect is permanent.
