# Deathlock >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] *Skeletally thin, this figure wears a dramatic cloak fringed with magical sigils. Its cadaverous eyes sizzle with cursed power, and deadly spells dance on its fingertips.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Deathlock</div> <div class="CR">CR 3 (800 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Libris Mortis pg. 94</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> NE Medium Undead **Init** +6 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft.; **Perception** +9 #### defense **AC** 13, 12 touch, 11 flat-footed (+2 Dex, +1 natural) **hp** 20 (3d8+6) **Fort** +3, **Refl** +3, **Will** +4 **Feint** 19, **Demoralize** 14 **Immune** undead traits #### offense **Speed** 30 ft. **Melee** bite +2 (1d6) **Space** 5 ft., **Reach** 5 ft. **Spell-Like Abilities** (CL 3th, Concentration +5) > **At will**— _detect magic_, _inflict minor wounds_, _read magic_ > **3/day**— _cause fear_, _magic missile_, _summon monster I_ > **2/day**— _death knell_, _ghoul glyph_ #### statistics **Str** 11, **Dex** 15, **Con** —, **Int** 14, **Wis** 13, **Cha** 14 **BAB** +2, **CMB** +2, **CMD** 14, **TA** +2, **RTA** +4 **Feats** [[Alertness]], [[Improved Initiative]] **Skills** Intimidate +8, Knowledge (arcana) +8, Perception +9, Sense Motive +9, Spellcraft +8, Stealth +8 **Languages** Abyssal, Common, Infernal #### tactics A deathlock prefers to use its spell-like abilities from a distance, disdaining melee. Thus, it can also use _inflict minor wounds_ to heal itself. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary, trio, or college (5–9) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** By character class Deathlocks are undead born of the corpses of powerful spellcasters whose remains are so charged with magic that they are unable to lie quiet in the grave. Animate, but shorn of the spirit that once ruled their forms, deathlocks seek to bring all those they meet into an intimate embrace with death. Only their knowledge of spellcasting remains, though twisted and changed. Sometimes deathlocks retain a single shred of memory from their former spirits. If the recollection was dear to the spirit that once inhabited the now shriveled and blasted body of the deathlock, the creature usually seeks out the source of that memory, hoping to destroy it, compromise it, or undo the deeds associated with it. Deathlocks stand between 5-1/2 and 6-1/2 feet tall and weigh between 100 and 120 pounds.
