Vrolikai

Creature 20 — demon, fiend, unholy

Powerful vrolikais command the untamed armies of demonkind, uniting them behind their one unifying desire for death and destruction. Unlike other demons, the dreaded vrolikai doesn't form directly from a single soul—they instead manifest when a demon devours so many damned souls that their own individual desires are lost in the sinful cacophony. A vrolikai who survives this process gains great power and can claim a region of the Outer Rifts as their own domain. Vrolikais' enthusiastic embrace o

Abilities

Telepathy 100 Feet (aura, magical, mental) — Telepathy
Constant Spells — Constant Spells
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic
Death-Stealing Gaze (aura, divine, visual) — 30 feet. When a non-demon ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 38 Fortitude save. If it fails, it becomes Drained 1. A creature that dies while it has drain from a vrolikai's gaze rises as a ghoul the next midnight. The GM determines what kind of ghoul.
Black Flame Knives (divine, unholy) — The vrolikai manifests a dagger-shaped blade of what looks like crystallized black flame in each of their four hands. These weapons function as +2 greater striking daggers that deal an additional 2d6 void damage. They fade away into nothingness 1 minute after a vrolikai no longer carries them.
Consume Death (concentrate, divine, visual) — The vrolikai focuses their deathstealing gaze upon a single target they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a Fortitude save against death-stealing gaze. **Success** The creature is unaffected. **Failure** The creature is affected by death-stealing gaze and becomes Drained 1. If the creature was already drained 1 by the death-stealing gaze before attempting the save, a failed save increases the value of the drained condition by 1, to a maximum of Drained 4. The vrolikai gains 10 temporary Hit Points, and the drained creature is temporarily immune until the start of the vrolikai's next turn. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the creature increases the amount of drain by 2.
Focused Flames — The vrolikai attacks a single target with all of their black flame knives. The demon makes a black flame knife Strike with the following additional effects. This counts toward the vrolikai's multiple attack penalty as a number of attacks equal to the number of back flame knives the vrolikai used. **Critical Success** The target takes an additional 2d6 void damage for each knife beyond the first (typically 6d6 extra damage) and takes 4d6 persistent void damage. **Success** The target takes an additional 2d6 void damage for each knife beyond the first. **Failure** The vrolikai deals the damage their black flame knife Strike normally deals on a hit.
Mindwarping (emotion, mental) — The sting of a vrolikai is mind-warping. A creature struck must attempt a DC 44 Will save. **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected. **Success** The creature becomes Stupefied 1 for 1 minute. **Failure** The creature becomes stupefied 1. If it's already stupefied, its stupefied value increases by 1 instead (to a maximum of Stupefied 4). **Critical Failure** As failure, plus the creature is Confused for 1 minute.
