(primal)

Trigger A creature within 60 feet Casts a Spell

Effect The leydroth attempts an intimidation check to counteract the triggering spell.

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.

Dispelling Roar Two Actions

(auditory, emotion, fear, mental, primal)

The leydroth unleashes a bestial roar that reverberates within a 30-foot emanation. It rolls an Intimidation check and compares the result to the Will DC of each creature in the area, with the effects of Demoralize.

It also uses this result to attempt to counteract each spell or magical effect in the area, plus one item or effect on each creature in the area, with the effects of Dispel Magic.

The leydroth can't use Dispelling Roar again for 1d4 rounds.

Dispelling Strike Free Action

(primal)

Frequency once per round

Trigger The leydroth hits a creature, object, or spell effect with a Strike

Effect The leydroth casts its innate Dispel Magic, targeting one effect on the creature struck.

Spell Feedback (primal)

Any time a leydroth counteracts a spell or item, the spell's caster or the creature holding the item takes 8d6 mental damage (DC 38 will save).

2nd Level: Darkness

In ancient times, a cabal of primalists imbued an amalgam of beasts with both supernatural might and a hatred of magic itself, hoping to achieve a potent weapon for use against arcane spellcasters. Effective beyond expectation, the first leydroths broke free and turned on their creators. Worse, the leydroths bred true, and these reclusive predators have long outlived their original creators.

Leydroths look like distorted, apelike felines with many-branching horns growing from the backs of their heads. Their thickly muscled limbs end in glowing claws.

Traits

Uncommon

Something of uncommon rarity requires special training or comes from a particular culture or part of the world. Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.

Beast

A creature similar to an animal but with an Intelligence modifier of –3 or higher is usually a beast. Unlike an animal, a beast might be able to speak and reason.

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.
