Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Lifesense 60 feet

Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the positive energy animating living creatures and the negative energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.

Negative Healing

A creature with negative healing draws health from negative energy rather than positive energy. It is damaged by positive damage and is not healed by positive healing effects. It does not take negative damage, and it is healed by negative effects that heal undead.

Bloodshift (conjuration, necromancy, teleportation)

Trigger A creature within 30 feet of the bloodshroud takes damage

---

Effect The bloodshroud transports itself and any items it's carrying to any unoccupied space adjacent to the triggering creature.

Sanguine Shroud (death, necromancy, occult)

The bloodshroud is enveloped by a shroud of flowing blood. If a creature deals damage to a bloodshroud with a melee Strike or touches the bloodshroud, the creature must attempt a DC 30 fortitude save. Any temporary Hit Points the bloodshroud gains from Sanguine Shroud fade after 1 hour.

---

Critical Success As success, but the creature becomes temporarily immune to Sanguine Shroud for 24 hours.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature becomes Drained 1 and takes 2d6 Persistent bleed Damage. The bloodshroud gains 15 temporary Hit Points.

Critical Failure As failure, but the creature becomes Drained 2, and the bloodshroud gains 25 temporary Hit Points.

Spellstrike

Frequency until recharged

---

Effect The bloodshroud channels a spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll into a claw or greatsword Strike. The effects of the spell don't occur immediately but are imbued into the bloodshroud's attack instead. The bloodshroud makes a melee Strike with a weapon or claw. The spell is coupled with the bloodshroud's attack, using the attack roll result to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell. This counts as two attacks for the purposes of determining the bloodshroud's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty is not applied until after the Spellstrike. Using Bloodshift automatically recharges the bloodshroud's Spellstrike.

During the war between Geb and Nex, necromancers conducted dangerous magical experiments to gain every possible advantage over their enemies. One such endeavor attempted to distill the essence of vampiric mists to create a protective shroud for an army of undead maguses.
