Ability

Silent Superstition One marvels at the way people misunderstand the most basic facts about the magic of the dead. The absolute silence of certain revenants has led ignorant fools to believe they fear sound. People espousing this folly claim one can simply retreat to noisier surroundings, such as a tavern full of rowdy patrons, to keep the stalker at bay. In truth, nothing can stop a silent stalker, apart from destroying them or killing their murderer.

Constrict

3d8+7 bludgeoning, DC 33

 

Ability

Critical Failure

The silent stalker becomes immobilized as long as the source of their self-loathing is apparent, until they're attacked, or until they see their murderer.

 

Ability

Critical Success

Ability

Self-Loathing

(emotion, mental, visual) If a silent stalker sees their own reflection or any object important to them in life, they must attempt a DC 33 Will save.

Ability

Silent Aura

(aura, illusion, occult) 10 feet. A silent stalker makes no sound, preventing creatures from noticing them using hearing or a similar sense alone. This silence stops all sound within it or passing through. The silent stalker and all creatures in the aura can't use sonic attacks or actions that have the auditory trait) this prevents creatures from casting spells with verbal components or activating items with command components.

 

Ability

Success

The silent stalker is distracted by self-loathing and is slowed 1 for 1 round.

 

Ability

Undying Vendetta

(emotion, necromancy, occult) If the pale stranger's murderer dies, the silent stalker is immediately destroyed. A silent stalker that can't sense their murderer must attempt a DC 11 flat check once every 24 hours to avoid becoming immobilized and prone; they immediately rise again once they can sense their murderer. A murderer who becomes undead does not trigger the silent stalker's destruction until the murderer is finally destroyed. The silent stalker gains a +2 status bonus to checks and DCs against their murderer.
