SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blighted Despot (Su)
This Burst Mode empowers Scarmiglione Z to drag his enemies kicking and screaming to their graves. Upon activating this ability, he may select any number of enemies within 60 feet and inflict them with the Weighted status (no save). He may also relocate them to any point within the affected area he chooses and inflict them with the Immobilize status, so long as they are touching the ground upon reaching their destination; airborne creatures are brought to the ground, but do not take falling damage. A Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Charisma modifier) negates the relocation and the Immobilize status. In addition, for a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 round for every four HD, Scarmiglione Z’s black aura ability triples in range, deals 8 points of shadow damage, deals 2d6 shadow damage whenever struck in melee, and any and all attacks Scarmiglione Z makes deal an additional 1d6 points of shadow damage.
Black Aura (Su)
All creatures within a 10 ft. radius of Scarmiglione Z take 2 points of shadow damage per round. When struck in melee, all adjacent creatures, as well as the one who struck him, take 1d6 shadow damage.
Bloodreaver (Su)
Scarmiglione Z can feast upon the essence of his enemies with but a touch. As a standard action, he makes a melee touch attack; if successful, the enemy takes 8d6 points of shadow damage, and he is healed as much. The target must also make a Fort save (DC 24), or be staggered for 1 round. If used on undead or creatures immune to shadow damage, it still functions, dealing non-elemental damage instead, and they must still roll a Fort save to negate the stagger effect. Blue Mages can learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 27).
Curse (Ex)
Tentacles — injury; save Will DC 24; frequency 1/round for 1d6 rounds; effect unable to perform Limit Breaks; cure 1 save.
Curse (Su)
Scarmiglione Z can curse those around him in a 30-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect must make a Will save (DC 22) or be inflicted with Curse status for 1d6 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 23).
Disease (Ex)
Claw — injury; save Fort DC 24; frequency 1/round for 1d4 rounds; effect prevents from receiving healing; cure 1 save.
Grave Consequences (Su)
When either creating or summoning undead creatures through a spell, Scarmiglione only spends a standard action to do so, if the spell normally takes longer to cast.
Necrotic Feedback (Su)
When Scarmiglione Z is struck by a ranged attack, he may, as a free action, respond with a ranged touch attack upon the one who attacked him. If it hits, the target takes 2d6 shadow damage.
Sap (Ex)
Bite — injury; save Fort DC 24; frequency 1/round for 1d6 rounds; effect 2d4 non-elemental damage; cure 1 save.
Shriek (Su)
Scarmiglione Z can give voice to an unsettling shriek. All creatures within a 30-foot spread of him must make a DC 20 Will save or become nauseated for 1d4 rounds. This is a sonic, mind-affecting ability. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 2nd level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 19).
Vindication (Ex)
When Scarmiglione Z takes fire or holy damage, he may use his curse ability as a free action.
Zombie Breath (Su)
Scarmiglione Z can breathe out a nasty, foul breath in a 30-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area of effect must make a Fortitude save (DC 25) or be inflicted with Zombie. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 7th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 29).
