Ability

Graveknight's Shield

1. The shield is quasi-independent of the graveknight and automatically protects the graveknight from harm. When the shield is raised, it automatically uses Shield Block to reduce the damage of the first attack against the graveknight each round without the graveknight needing to spend their reaction to do so. The shield automatically rejuvenates with the rest of the graveknight and must be destroyed in the same manner as the graveknight's armor.

Ability

Attack of Opportunity [Reaction]

 

Ability

Channel Magic

The graveknight redirects magical energies through its armor, allowing it to deliver magic through an attack. The graveknight Casts a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll. The effects of the spell don't occur immediately but are imbued into an attack instead. The graveknight then makes a melee Strike with a weapon or unarmed attack. The spell is coupled with the attack, using the attack roll result to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell. This counts as two attacks for the graveknight's multiple attack penalty but doesn't apply the penalty until after it's completed Channeling Magic. The graveknight can't use Channel Magic again for 1d4 rounds.

 

Ability

Clutching Armor [Reaction]

2. The armor can continue to Grapple the creature normally. Since the armor is grappling the creature, the graveknight doesn't need a free hand to do so.

One ally of the graveknight's choice can instead use a reaction to Strike.

 

Ability

Ability

Hungry Armor

A creature that Strikes a graveknight warmaster with a melee weapon must succeed at a DC 31 Reflex save or be disarmed of that weapon. If the creature critically fails, the weapon ends up in the graveknight's space. A creature that hits a graveknight warmaster with an unarmed attack must succeed at a DC 31 Reflex save or become grabbed by the graveknight until the end of its next turn, it Escapes, or the graveknight moves, whichever comes first.

 

Ability

Phantom Mount

(arcane, conjuration) The graveknight summons a supernatural mount as per phantom steed, heightened to 7th level. The steed has AC 34, Fort +23, Ref +20, Will +20, and 85 Hit Points. If the steed is destroyed, the graveknight must wait 1 hour before using this ability again.

 

Ability

Rejuvenation

(divine, necromancy) When a graveknight is destroyed, their armor rebuilds their body over the course of 1d10 days—or more quickly if the armor is worn by a living host (see Graveknight Armor below). If the body is destroyed before then, the process restarts. A graveknight can only be permanently destroyed by obliterating their armor (such as with disintegrate), transporting it to the Positive Energy Plane, or throwing it into the heart of a volcano.

 

Ability

Ruinous Weapons

Any weapon or unarmed attack the graveknight uses gains the effects of the +1 greater striking and greater shock weapon runes.
