# Plague Blight >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] > >[!debug]+ *Soft and putrescent, this creature’s form is wrapped in tight circles of cloth, though bloated, swollen tissue still seeps through. The odor of this creature goes beyond the stink of carrion; the putrefaction of its body is like a physical force that moves before it.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Plague Blight</div> <div class="CR">CR 6 (2,400 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Libris Mortis pg. 115</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> NE Medium Undead (evil) **Init** +5 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft.; **Perception** +11 **Aura** stench (10 ft., DC 14) #### defense **AC** 23, 15 touch, 18 flat-footed (+5 Dex, +8 natural) **hp** 27 (4d8+9) **Fort** +3, **Refl** +6, **Will** +6 **Feint** 21, **Demoralize** 16 **Defensive Abilities** resistant to blows **DR** 5/good or slashing **Immune** undead traits #### offense **Speed** 30 ft. **Melee** slam +7 (1d4+6 plus gangrenous touch) **Space** 5 ft., **Reach** 5 ft. #### statistics **Str** 19, **Dex** 21, **Con** , **Int** 14, **Wis** 14, **Cha** 15 **BAB** +3, **CMB** +6, **CMD** 21, **TA** +7, **RTA** +8 **Feats** [[Alertness]]^B, [[Power Attack]], [[Toughness]] **Skills** Acrobatics +9, Escape Artist +9, Intimidate +9, Perception +11, Sense Motive +11, Stealth +12 **Languages** Common, Necril #### special abilities ### Stench (Ex) Living creatures within 10 feet of the plague blight must succeed at a DC 14 Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of Strength damage and become nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Charisma-based. ### Gangrenous Touch (Su) Disease— slam; *save* Fort DC 14; *onset* instant; *frequency* 1/round; *cure* 2 saves. Gangrenous touch is especially virulent, and requires a saving throw every round. It visibly progresses over a period of seconds, turning the afflicted area putrescent and gangrenous. Once it is infected or it successfully saves, a creature can't be infected by gangrenous touch again for 24 hours. The body of a victim claimed by gangrenous touch sloughs into a brittle, stinking mass of putrescent ruin that molders to nothing over the course of 24 hours, unless remove disease is cast on the remains within that time. ### Resistant to Blows (Ex) Physical attacks deal only half damage to a plague blight. Apply this effect before damage reduction. #### tactics In melee combat, the stench of a plague blight sickens its opponents. Far worse is its couch, which brings on a terrible wasting disease in its victims, rotting the flesh in seconds and sending tendrils of dead flesh ever inward toward the heart. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary, pair, or rot (6–10) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 5–8 HD (Medium); 9–12 HD (Large) Plague blights are animated corpses of humanoids who died from plague or rot. In undeath, they seek to putrefy all that is pure. They are wily and may attempt to trick their victims into allowing themselves get close enough to touch.
