Soul Journey (divine, exploration)

The dragon spends 1 hour traveling through planar channels to reach the River of Souls, and then reaches any point along the river. This has the effects of Interplanar Teleport, except that the dragon can arrive precisely where they like on any major plane.

Status Sight

The requiem dragon automatically knows the Hit Points of all creatures they can see.

Soul Anchor (divine)

A creature within 60 feet would drop to 0 Hit Points

---

Effect The dragon anchors the triggering creature's soul to its body. The creature remains at 1 Hit Point, becomes Doomed 2, and gains fast healing equal to the dragon's level for 1 minute. The creature becomes temporarily immune to further Soul Anchor usages for 24 hours.

Effect: Soul Anchor

Withhold Death (divine)

Trigger The dragon is critically hit by an attack

---

Effect The dragon resists the loosening of its own soul, preventing some of the damage. The dragon gains resistance 15 to all damage against the triggering attack.

Dooming Breath (divine, spirit)

Energy from Creation's Forge erupts from the dragon's mouth, dealing 12d8 spirit damage in a 90-foot line (DC 36 reflex save). Undead creatures who fail the save must also succeed at a DC 36 will save or become Doomed 1. If the target is already doomed, the doomed value increases by 1 (to a maximum of Doomed 4). The dragon can't use Dooming Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Soul Shield (concentrate, divine)

Frequency once per day

---

Effect The requiem dragon uses their life essence to create a shield of spiritual energy around a creature within 60 feet. The shield creates a link between the dragon and the creature with the effects of Share Life except that the effect doesn't end regardless of distance and remains for 1 hour. In addition, the creature gains resistance 5 to physical and spirit damage that applies to the half of damage it receives. The dragon can Dismiss the effect.

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained

---

Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.

The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.

Requiem dragons are stewards of the River of Souls and the process through which souls reach their final destination in the afterlife. The safe journey of a soul is of utmost importance to a requiem dragon, and some will follow individual souls from their first entry into the river through to their judgment in the Boneyard and eventually to their ultimate resting place. Most requiem dragons tie themselves to specific planes and shepherd any souls bound to that plane, leading to dragons linked to places like Heaven or Hell, though these dragons never swear true allegiance to these planes. Requiem dragons fill their lairs along the River of Souls—patchworks of somber architecture rescued from other planes—with invaluable records and mementos of great accomplishments.
