Despair

At the mere sight of a mummy, the viewer must succeed on a DC 16 Will save or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by the same mummy’s despair ability for 24 hours.

Mummy Rot

Supernatural disease—slam, Fortitude DC 16, incubation period 1 minute; damage 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha.

Unlike normal diseases, mummy rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or is cured as described below.

Mummy rot is a powerful curse, not a natural disease. A character attempting to cast any conjuration (healing) spell on a creature afflicted with mummy rot must succeed on a DC 20 Spellcraft check, or the spell has no effect on the afflicted character.

To eliminate mummy rot, the curse must first be broken with break enchantment or remove curse (requiring a DC 20 caster level check for either spell), after which a caster level check is no longer necessary to cast healing spells on the victim, and the mummy rot can be magically cured as any normal disease.

An afflicted creature who dies of mummy rot shrivels away into sand and dust that blow away into nothing at the first wind.

Nachzur

He looked alive. He moved fluidly, but there was something wrong. His blue eyes called to me and I almost believed the sweet words coming from his mouth. That mouth, filled with thin translucent fangs, which somehow did not seem strange to me. I tried to look away, but I could not.

A nachzur is not one of the most powerful beings of the Navirim, but it still has great powers of persuasion over those of Atheles. They prefer to use a banter of words to defeat enemies than to fight outright.

Spell-Like Abilities

Alter Self

When a nachzur takes over a host body, that body transforms to look more like the natural form of the nachzur, semi-transparent skin, enlarged cranium, bright blue eyes, and translucent fangs. They use the Alter Self ability to blend into population that surrounds them. This can be used once per day, but lasts indefinitely. Abilities or items that allow True Seeing, see through the nachzur’s illusion.

Advancement

A nachzur can gain levels as a player class. For each class level, they gain an additional CR point. They gain HP, abilities, and spells as per the class level they advance in.

Immortal

A nachzur can only be killed by being decapitated and then a silver spike hammered through their skull. Otherwise, the spirit of the nachzur will slowly repair the body until it is whole again.

Summon Ally

Once per day a nachzur can summon another from the navirim to aid them. The summoned ally is always CR 2 or lower.

Shadowborn

A nachzur is a creature of the shadows. The Navirim does not have a strong sun. In Atheles, the nachzur must stay out of direct sunlight, or suffer 1d6 damage per minute.

Trapped

Unlike some navirites that possess a creature, a nachzur can not leave the body it inhabits. This makes them more likely to be cautious than other navirite fey.

Demon Fever: Bite—injury; save Fort DC 20; onset immediate; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con damage(target must save a 2nd time or 1 point of the damage is drain instead); cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Dream Haunting

A night hag can visit the dreams of chaotic or evil targets by using a special periapt known as a heartstone to become ethereal, then hovering over the creature. Once it does so, it rides on the victim’s back until dawn. The sleeper suffers tormenting dreams and takes 1 point of Constitution drain upon awakening. Only another ethereal being can stop these nocturnal intrusions by confronting and defeating the night hag.

Etherealness

A Night Hag may become ethereal, along with their equipment. For the duration of the spell, they are in a place commonly called the In-Between, which theoretically overlaps the normal, physical, plane of Atheles (called the Material Plane). When the spell expires, a Night Hag return to material existence.

An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As an insubstantial creature, it can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet. Treat other ethereal creatures and ethereal objects as if they were material. An ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. If the spell ends and the ethereal creature becomes material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), they are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that they so travel.

This effect lasts 10 rounds and can only be used if the Night Hag is in possession of its Heartstone.

Heartstone

All night hags carry a heartstone—a special gemstone worth at least 1,800 gp that is worn as a periapt. A heartstone’s magic is fueled by the hag’s spirit and proximity—once separated from its owner (or upon the hag’s death), a heartstone retains its magic for only 24 hours before becoming a nonmagical gem again. The heartstone instantly cures any disease contracted by the holder. In addition, a heartstone provides a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws (this bonus is included in the statistics block above). A night hag that loses this charm can no longer use etherealness or soul bind until it finds a replacement gemstone.

Pounce

Once per round the Nightcat can leap up to 20’ and attack with both of it claws as a single move action. It may then attempt a normal melee action if it has any actions left.

Scent

This ability lets a creature detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.

A creature with the scent ability can detect opponents by sense of smell, generally within 30 feet. If the opponent is upwind, the range is 60 feet. If it is downwind, the range is 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk, can be detected at three times these ranges.

The creature detects another creature’s presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 5 feet of the scent’s source, the creature can pinpoint that source.
