SPECIAL ABILITIES

Act of Atonement (Su)

If the sinner whose crimes spawned the sinborn dragon’s existence publicly admits their crimes and accepts the consequences, which are usually so severe they result in imprisonment, execution or other ruin, the sinborn dragon is dramatically weakened, and possibly destroyed. The sinborn dragon suffers 3d8 negative levels when the sinner’s act of atonement is complete. If the sinborn dragon gains 14 negative levels or more, it is slain. Otherwise, the sinborn dragon chooses a new sinner to torment, and only when it chooses a new Sinner can these negative levels be removed. The sinborn dragon does not suffer any ill effect if it just decides to eat the sinner. Which it probably will eventually.

Dark Charisma (Su)

The sinborn dragon gains a profane bonus to Armor Class and saving throws equal to its Charisma modifier (+5).

Darkest Secrets (Ex)

The sinborn dragon knows the most shameful secrets and crimes of the sinner it torments, and can break the sinner’s will with just a few, well-chosen words. The sinborn dragon can make Intimidate checks against its Sinner as a free action once per round.

Sin Manifest (Su)

Each sinborn dragon is tied to the sins of a particular figure of great power – always a king, queen, other royalty, respected religious figure or court advisor, or an influential warlord, military commander, or other important individuals. This creature may be a player character or NPC but is always a powerful, well-known and influential individual. This creature is referred to as the sinner, and the sinborn dragon gains a variety of powers to torment the sinner, slaughter the sinner’s allies and defenders, and generally make the sinner’s life miserable.

The sinborn dragon maintains a constant status effect against the sinner, and can use detect thoughts against the sinner, at will. More importantly, the sinner’s physical attacks pass harmlessly through the sinborn dragon, as if the creature were ethereal, and the sinner’s spells and powers have a 50% chance to fail when targeting the sinborn dragon. If the sinner is equipped with ghost touch weapons, they affect the sinborn dragon normally.

The sinborn dragon’s negative energy breath weapon ignores all cover and concealment provided by any structure that the sinner is inside. The sinborn dragon’s breath weapon treats walls and other obstructions as if they simply were not there for determining how its breath weapon affects creatures within a structure shared by the sinner. The sinborn dragon can always choose to exclude the sinner from the area of its breath weapon.
