Designed to serve as devastatingly powerful foot soldiers against enemies with plentiful magic, facetbound nullifiers shear through magical effects as easily as they slice through flesh and bone. The pale lavender ellipsoid aeon stones they bear are sunk deep into their heads and surrounded by an ugly bruise.
Inspired by the work of the Azlanti and their obsessions with aeon stones, certain necromancers strive to tap into those curious magical items to create undead with powerful abilities. A facetbound is created from a living being with an aeon stone surgically attached to their skull who is killed in a specific, secret ritual. Each facetbound must bear a single aeon stone, and this stone determines the powers the facetbound wields (in place of the normal powers of the implanted stone)
A nullifier's aeon stone can't be Disarmed or removed until the nullifier is destroyed.

Always Ready
The nullifier gains an additional reaction each round that can be used only for Defensive Dispel.
Attack of Opportunity
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.
Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
The nullifier can also make attacks of opportunity against concentrate actions to Cast a Spell, and it disrupts that action on any hit, not just a critical hit.
Defensive Dispel(arcane)
Trigger The nullifier is the target of a spell
Effect The nullifier attempts to counteract the triggering spell, with a counteract modifier of +27. This can be used only on spells that target the nullifier, not area spells that don't have targets. If it succeeds, it counteracts the spell for all targets, if other creatures were targeted in addition to the nullifier.
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.
A nullifier's melee Strikes deal an additional 2d10 force damage (already included in the Strikes above).
Sever Spell(arcane, attack)
Frequency once per round
Effect The nullifier makes a melee Strike against a target. If the attack hits, the nullifier attempts to counteract a spell or magical effect on the target (of the nullifier's choice), with a counteract modifier of +27. The target is temporarily immune to Sever Spell for 24 hours.
