Special Abilities

Soul Consumer (Su)

The soulgorger is empowered by the shredded remnants of soulstuff it shreds away from its foes. Whenever a creature gains a negative level from the soulgorger’s energy drain, the soulgorger gains 1 soul point. The soulgorger can have a number of soul points equal to its Hit Dice (14 for the average soulgorger).

The soulgorger gains a profane bonus to its AC for every 2 soul points it has and fast healing equal to the number of soul points it has. The soulgorger may spend 3 soul points as a free action to regain martial focus. This does not allow the soulgorger to regain martial focus more than once per round.

The soulgorger is vulnerable to effects which provide protection against possession (ex. the Fate sphere Hallow (word)) or heal negative levels (ex. the Life sphere Restore Soul (cure) talent). When targeted by such an effect, the soulgorger must succeed at a Will save against the sphere effect’s DC or take 1d6 points of damage for each soul point it possesses and lose all soul points.

About

Environment any
Organization solitary, pair
Treasure double

This malignant, aberration-like body glows softly with a malicious light, its eyes empty sockets, as its bones and appendages twist and contort, sinuous tentacles writhing within its flesh.

The soulgorger is a foul creation of malice which consumes the souls of the living for its own sadistic desires. Its body, warped by painful necrotic energy, can absorb the lives of those it preys upon, strengthening itself. These wretched abominations of thaumaturgy are often the product of sick and twisted experiments gone awry by necromancers.

A creature whose soul has been partially or entirely consumed can be identified by the sickly striations that will form as rings around the victim’s neck with a DC 25 Knowledge (religion) check.

Rarely created on purpose, the sighting of a soulgorger is often a matter of mortal peril for any ill-equipped towns or nations, warranting the most skilled of exorcists and undead hunters to set out and destroy it before the soulgorger can cause too much harm or grow too strong.
