During Combat The Barrow King charges into combat with Vital Strike and uses Cleave and Step Up to keep from being surrounded.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Create Spawn (Su)

Any humanoid creature that is slain by a cairn wight becomes a ordinary wight itself in only 1d4 rounds. Spawn are under the command of the cairn wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death, at which point they become full-fledged and free-willed cairn wights. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.

Resurrection Vulnerability (Su)

A raise dead or similar spell cast on a cairn wight destroys it (Will negates). Using the spell in this way does not require a material component.
