Mindbound

A nosferatu master exerts a fierce hold over their thrall's mind. If any creature other than the thrall's master targets them with an effect that would give them the Controlled condition, the thrall's master rolls a counteract check against it using their Dominate DC - 10 as the counteract check modifier.

Mortal Shield Reaction

Trigger The thrall's master would take damage from a Strike or spell attack and is in an adjacent square


Effect The thrall throws themself in front of their master, taking half the damage of the attack (before applying any weaknesses or resistances). The thrall's master takes the remaining damage, applying any weaknesses or resistances as normal.

Rally Reaction

Trigger The thrall ends their turn more than 30 feet away from their master


Effect The thrall Strides up to their Speed toward their master.

Swing Back One Action

Frequency once per round

Requirements The nosferatu thrall's last action was a greatclub Strike that missed


Effect The nosferatu thrall makes another greatclub Strike against the same target, using the previous Strike's multiple attack penalty.


Nosferatu thralls are mortals bound to a nosferatu's will. While thralls aren't undead, they stay alive through unnatural means: feeding on the blood of their masters.


Among the most ancient of vampires are the nosferatus, twisted remnants of mortals who died in great plagues of old. Perhaps because of their age, nosferatus can no longer create more of their kind. Yet they still lurk among the living, manipulating the hearts and minds of their prey to either serve them beyond the limits of natural life or to become sustenance for the nosferatu like so many others before.
