Attack of Opportunity Reaction

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.

Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Rejuvenation (divine)

When a graveknight is destroyed, its armor rebuilds its body over the course of [/gmr 1d10 #days] days-or more quickly if the armor is worn by a living host. If the body is destroyed before then, the process restarts.

A graveknight can only be permanently destroyed by obliterating its armor (such as with Disintegrate), transporting it to the Forge of Creation, or throwing it into the heart of a volcano.

Sacrilegious Aura (aura, divine, evil)

30 feet. When a creature in the aura uses a vitality spell or ability, the graveknight automatically attempts to counteract it, with a +27 counteract modifier.

Void Healing

A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Devastating Blast Two Actions (arcane, fire)

The graveknight unleashes a 30-foot cone of energy.

Creatures in the area take 10d12 fire damage (DC 37 reflex save).

The graveknight can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds.

Graveknight's Curse

This curse affects anyone who wears a graveknight's armor for at least 1 hour

Saving Throw DC 43 will save

Onset 1 hour

Stage 1 Doomed 1 and can't remove the armor (1 day)

Stage 2 Doomed 2, hampered 10, and can't remove the armor (1 day)

Stage 3 dies and transforms into the armor's graveknight

Kharnas's Blessing Two Actions

The graveknight carves the sigil of Kharnas onto an adjacent Immobilized or Unconscious creature.

As long as the creature bears the sigil of Kharnas, it takes a -2 status penalty to saving throws against the abilities of any creature that previously served Kharnas, but it can also freely pass through any hazards that can be bypassed by those bearing the sigil of Kharnas, such as Kharnas's glyphs.

Effect: Kharna's Blessing

Weapon Master

The graveknight has access to the critical specialization effects of any weapons it wields.

Traits

Rare

This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world. A rare feat, spell, item or the like is available to players only if the GM decides to include it in the game, typically through discovery during play. Creatures with this trait are rare. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.

Undead

Once living, these creatures were infused after death with void energy and soul-corrupting unholy magic. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, an undead creature is destroyed. Undead creatures are damaged by vitality energy and are healed by void energy, and don't benefit from healing vitality effects.

Unholy

Effects with the unholy trait are tied to powerful magical forces of cruelty and sin. They often have stronger effects on holy creatures. Creatures with this trait are strongly devoted to unholy causes, and often have weakness to holy. If a creature with weakness to unholy uses an unholy item or effect, it takes damage from its weakness.
