DEATH GIFTS

Death Gaze

MINOR GIFT

Traits: necromancy, negative

Aspect death Activate ◆◆ envision, Interact; Effect Your stare causes a creature’s flesh to rot and wither away. Target a creature you can see within 30 feet. Your stare deals 1d6 negative damage to the creature for every 2 levels the relic has (minimum 1d6; basic Fortitude save). An undead creature or other creature with negative healing targeted this way is instead healed 1d6 HP per level of the relic and is temporarily immune to this effect for 10 minutes.

Living Death

MINOR GIFT

Traits: necromancy

Aspect death You stand on the threshold between the living and the dead. If you attempt a saving throw against an effect that would deal negative damage to you, such as harm, your outcome is one degree of success better than what you rolled. If you roll a critical success and the effect is capable of healing undead, you regain HP equal to half the spell’s full damage. Any positive spell or effect that would heal you has only half the normal effect. All these effects apply only if you are a living creature.

While this shroud is active, you take on a pallid appearance and gain poison resistance equal to half the relic’s level and a +1 status bonus to saving throws against death effects, diseases, effects that would make you paralyzed, poison, and sleep effects. In addition, the DC for your recovery checks is 9 + your dying value instead of 10 + your dying value.

Pierce the Veil

MAJOR GIFT

While you are holding or wearing the relic, you have the negative healing ability (as though you were undead; positive energy harms you and negative energy heals you). In addition, whenever you are healed by a negative spell or effect, you gain resistance 5 to all damage (except force, ghost touch, and positive) until the start of your next turn. Finally, you gain a +2 item bonus to all saves against death effects while you are the bearer of the relic; this increases to a +3 item bonus at 13th level.

Tide of Death

MAJOR GIFT

Traits: necromancy, negative

Aspect death; Prerequisites death gaze gift

Grim Specter

GRAND GIFT

Traits: necromancy

Aspect death

Activate ◆◆ command, envision; Frequency once per day;

Effect You can call upon the terrifying powers that fuel your relic to transform yourself into a specter of death. You become incorporeal, having no physical body. You are immune to effects that require a physical body, including precision damage as well as exposure to most diseases and poisons. You also have resistance to all damage equal to half the relic’s level; force damage, ghost touch attacks, negative damage, and positive damage ignore this resistance, and the resistance doubles against non-magical damage.

You can move through solid objects. When inside an object, you can’t perceive, attack, or Interact with anything outside it, and you’re always slowed 1 on turns you start in an object. Corporeal creatures can pass through you but can’t end their movement in your space. You can’t attempt Strength-based checks against corporeal creatures or objects, unless those objects have the ghost touch property rune. Likewise, corporeal creatures can’t attempt Strength-based checks against you.

You can Sustain the Activation up to 1 minute.
