Gallowdead
CREATURE 15The first gallowdead were hung from enormous, hooked chains from atop the Whispering Tyrant's prison, Gallowspire, and magically bonded to their chains after death. After Gallowspire's destruction, the gallowdead who remained were left to wander the ruins.
Gallowdead are the eyes and ears of the Whispering Tyrant, so Tar-Baphon can see through them at any time as long as they're on the same plane of existence as him.
30 feet. A gallowdead is surrounded by an aura of blasphemous whispers. A creature who hears them understands them to be mutterings of its most closely guarded secrets and private failings laid bare. A creature that first enters the area must attempt a DC 34 Will save. Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to aura of whispers for 1 minute. The frightened condition from this aura can't be reduced while in the aura.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is Frightened 1.
Failure The creature is Frightened 2 and Stunned 1.
Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 3 and Stunned 3.
The spiked chain of a gallowdead is wrapped around and through their body, imbuing it with foul necromantic powers. The spiked chain can't be disarmed, deals an additional weapon die of damage, and has a greater reach while wielded by the gallowdead.
Those who destroy gallowdead are subject to a powerful death curse. When a creature reduces a gallowdead to 0 HP, the creature must attempt a DC 34 Will save. A creature that fails this saving throw is Doomed 1 and can't remove the condition until the curse has been lifted.
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.
