Soulsight (Su) A Franzenshesiah can see any living creature with a soul if it resides on the same plane as the keeper regardless of any attempts to hide or disguise, magical or mundane, short of a wish spell.
Soultrap (Su) When a sentient mortal creature dies within 100 feet of a Franzenshesiah, the devil may attempt to entrap the soul in a gem before it moves on to its afterlife. The dead creature must make a DC 21 Will save or have its soul captured permanently. While captured the creature cannot be raised or resurrected. The soul can be released by destroying the gem (AC 10, Hardness 1, Hp 5).
Poison (Ex) Claw—injury; save Fort DC 20; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Constitution damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
This red-skinned fiend has a powerful physique and bone spurs that protrude from its flesh. Massive horns curve downward from the crown of its head,and bandoliers festooned with glowing gems adorn its torso.
Franzenshesiahs are very specialized jailers of the Nine Hells, collecting and keeping the souls of the living in gemstone prisons. Souls are both power and currency in the lower planes, with the souls of talented or more accomplished individuals being worth more than that of inconsequential mortals. Franzenshesiah have been known to try to bargain for souls, trade or sell souls. They also will tempt mortals into consigning their souls to the hells though contract or action.
Franzenshesiahs carry no tangible treasure but may have a very rare or unique soul in their collection.
