The save DC is Charisma-based. ### Negative Energy Aura (Su) A 60-foot-radius negative energy aura surrounds an atropal scion. All undead in the aura (including the atropal scion) gain channel resistance +4 and fast healing 5. Living creatures in the aura gain two negative levels (though theses disappear when they leave the aura). Creatures with 2 or less HD are slain. A _protection from evil_ spells wards a living creature from the atropal scion's aura. ### Unholy Grace (Su) An atropal scion adds its Charisma modifier as a bonus on all its saving throws and as a deflection bonus to its Armor Class. #### tactics A soul-numbing cold comes before and follows an atropal scion. The life energy of heroic creatures is suppressed in its foul aura, and the life force of lesser creatures is extinguished. It directs its spell-like abilities and death gaze upon those foes its mere presence cannot kill. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 10–13 HD (Medium); 14–27 HD (Large) Atropal scions are clots of divine flesh given form and animation by bleak-hearted gods of death. When a stillborn godling rises spontaneously as an undead, a great abomination is born. If that abomination is defeated, but any fragment or cast-off bit of flesh remains, an atropal scion may yet arise from those fragments, lessened in power from its divine beginnings, but no less hateful for its stature. An atropal scion is a power to be reckoned with, and once animate in the world, seeks power over both life and unlife in an unrelenting bid for domination that only its lifeless tissue is able to sustain.
