Veiled Seizeran




Arousing and ailing, sensual and sickly, the veiled seizeran is, at first glance, a comely woman swathed in nigh-translucent veils. What can be seen of her soft skin appears feverish with desire. Up close, however, the beads of diseased sweat clearly shimmer across her multicolored raiment… for it is nothing more than thin flaps of infectious skin sticking to the aberration’s false curves. Those contours too are a lie, consisting of carbuncles and fatty sores. Somewhere under it all remains the humanoid woman the veiled seizeran once was, even if it is her all-too becoming eyes.


Polluted Harem. While The Pariah is incapable of love and even lust, he still gathers paramours who give their heart, bodies, and souls to him. These poor women, often drawn from either the untouchable or most-vaulted classes, end up having all three aspects offered twisted by his ‘adoring’ caresses. The unique boils that break out across their body make it impossible to don even the lightest clothing without excruciating pain. This is fine by the enthralled woman and soon enough their sloughing skin spreads and blooms into an attire more pleasing to the caliph of contamination. Within a week of being accepted into the Pariah’s chambers, such as they are, the humanoid completes their devolving into a veiled seizeran; forever doomed to dance for his pleasure and spread his pestilence.

The Seven Veils.

The veiled seizeran peals off a section of her translucent flesh and flings it at a humanoid she can see within 60ft. This is a ranged weapon attack with a +5 to hit and ignores cover penalties. When the veil hits, the seizeran chooses one of the veil effects below. A creature cannot be affected by more than one effect. The seizeran cannot choose an effect that has a veil currently active.


Veils can be removed by the creature or an adjacent ally by taking an action and succeeding on a DC 13 Strength roll.


The Black Veil. A sheer swath as black as death. At the start of each of its turns, the victim takes 1d6 necrotic damage.


The Consuming Veil. A tooth-lined swatch of flesh that chews on its target. The victim is grappled and takes 1d4 Piercing damage at the start of each if its turns.


The Puppet's Veil. A sallow stretch of skin and moldering bones that fuses to the victim's spine. The victim must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom save or be charmed and forced to defend the veiled seizeran. While charmed the victim uses the movement, physical statistics, and attacks of a zombie.


The Putrid Veil. A slice of rotting flesh which seeps into the victim's skin. The victim must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution save or be poisoned.


The Quaking Veil. A fleshy wrap that sends the creature into convulsions. The victim must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution save or be paralyzed and fall prone.


The Smothering Veil. A red, oozing cut of flesh that wraps around the creature's face. The victim begins to Choke and is Blinded. The Writhing Veil. A meaty segment crawling with ravenous fever fleas. At the start of each of its turns, the victim takes 1d6 poison damage.

Optional Rule: Carbuncle Cortege

After fighting a veiled seizeran, all creatures struct by one of her seven veils must succeed on a DC 13 Consitution save or contract this disease. The creature manifests painful rashes puncutated by clusters of pus-filled boils. These boils make it difficult to move and cause additional agony when popped.


While infected, the creature reducess their Speed by 5ft and cannot take the Dash action. Whenever the creautre is struck with a bludgeoning weapon, they take an additional 1d6 necrotic damage from the bursting boils.


At the end of each day, the creature may repeat this save. After three successful saves, the infection ends. However, some scarring may remain.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
