During Combat Cthugha favors a simple application of overwhelming force. Even creatures ordinarily immune to fire wither under Cthugha’s touch, and his unspeakable presence causes phantom flames to spring up, feeding on their victim’s minds. In order to distract opponents and split up their efforts, he can calve pieces of his body off to form fire elementals with grotesque, half-fleshy forms. The faithful of Cthugha refer to such creatures as fire vampires, and view them as sacred. Fire vampires rapidly fall apart unless they can fuel their own permanence with the body of a living creature, spurring them to fight ferociously on Cthugha’s behalf.

Enthralling Dreams (Su) When Cthugha uses its nightmare spell-like ability, it can target any creature it has effected with its spell-like or supernatural abilities, or anyone who has ever killed a sentient creature with fire, regardless of the distance between the creature and Cthugha—even across planar boundaries. In order to use its enthralling dreams against a target, it must first successfully affect the target with its nightmare spell-like ability. If the victim fails its save against the nightmare, it must succeed a DC 35 Will save or become captivated by all fires. Whenever it sees a fire or a creature with the fire subtype, it must make a Will save against the same DC or be dazed for 1d4 rounds. If the creature takes fire damage during this time, it may attempt another save. This is a mind-influencing fire effect. The save DC is Charisma based.
Immortality (Ex) If Cthugha is killed, it is reformed the next time a star in the galaxy in which it died goes supernova. This may take thousands of years, or may occur shortly following its death.
Searing Flames (Su) Cthugha’s fires burn supernaturally hot. It ignores all fire resistance when dealing damage with its natural weapons, supernatural or spell-like abilities, and treats fire immunity as if it were fire resistance 30. Only creatures with the fire subtype retain their immunity to Cthugha’s flames.
Spawn Fire Vampire (Ex) As a full-round action once per day, Cthugha can eject 1d4+1 fire vampires from its body. Treat the fire vampires as chaotic evil elder fire elementals, with a fly speed of 60 feet and perfect maneuverability. The fire vampires appear in any square within 60 ft. of Cthugha and obey its commands instinctively. These creatures disintegrate in 1 minute, unless they succeed in killing a living creature, in which case they remain permanently.
Tentacles (Ex) Cthugha’s tentacles are treated as primary natural weapons.
Unspeakable Presence (Su) Failing a DC 35 Will save against Cthugha’s unspeakable presence causes a creature to burst into flames, taking 4d6 points of fire damage and 1 Charisma drain every round it remains in Cthugha’s unspeakable presence and for 1 minute thereafter. This fires are fueled by the psyche—a creature must succeed a Will save in order to put out the flames instead of a Reflex save. This is a mind-influencing fire effect, and the save DC is Charisma based.
This immense entity resembles a great living fireball, its body roiling and spilling out into strange, tumor-like pods. A cluster of flaming tentacles emerges from one side of the monster, and the air around it shimmers with unbearable heat.

Cthugha the Burning One is a Great Old One who revels in the explosions of stars and the cleansing of worlds by fire. As Cthugha seeks to destroy the cosmos, rather than allow the stars to come to alignment, he is the enemy of many other Great Old Ones, and counts the violent nihilists of the Dominion of the Black as his allies. Cthugha is young as Great Old Ones go, and this urge to destroy may fade over time—or become even more potent as Cthugha’s abilities catch up to its ambitions.
Only the most hateful and depraved mortals dare to worship Cthugha, but evil elemental creatures may serve him in the hopes of delighting in the destruction that his fires cause. His cult has an underground following among several powerful red dragons, spurring their schemes to the overtly violent. Some especially desperate alien civilizations in the light of dying stars supplicate Cthugha in the hopes that he will delay the expansion or nova long enough for them to get offworld.

Invisible in Light (Su) In bright light, a hellcat has natural invisibility. In normal light, a hellcat has partial concealment (20% miss chance). In dim light, it has no concealment. In darkness, a hellcat's flickering glow limits it to partial concealment, unless the darkness is magical in nature.
Breath Weapon (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds an avaricious creature can vomit up a cone of molten gold (5 ft. per HD) as an immediate action dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per 2 HD and the subjects are staggered. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 +1/2 the avaricious creature’s HD + its Cha modifier) halves the damage and negates the staggered effect. On the following round the molten gold sticking to the subjects deals the same amount of damage again. The gold disappears after the following round, and the subject is no longer staggered.
Covetous Aura (Su) An avaricious creatures is surrounded by a covetous aura (5ft. per HD). Anytime a harmless spell of a level equal to 1/2 its HD or a supernatural effect of a creature of equal to its HD is cast or activated within this aura, the avaricious can choose to have the spell or effect affect it as well.
Luxurious Glide (Ex) An avaricious creature can glide through places of luxury and piles of treasure as easily as a fish swims through water. Its movement leaves no sign of passage nor disturbs a single coin. It is almost as though they melt and flow through the objects of luxury, art, coins, and gems to their new location. It is barred from moving through anything of premium quality unless it is a form of coinage or valued for its rarity (it could move through a antique a vaunted keep, but would be stopped by the adjacent miller’s cottage).
Touch of Gold (Sp) Once per day a avaricious creature can make a touch attack (or as part of a melee attack) and transform a subject into gold (or other valuable substance) as polymorph any object with a caster level equal to the avaricious creature’s CR. The DC for the save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the avaricious creature’s HD + its Cha modifier), if a subject makes its saving throw the ability is not used up for that day. For up to one hour per day, the avaricious creature can mentally communicate with the subject, although she is in no way compelled to answer any questions or even respond.
Vulnerability to Charity (Ex) if the avaricious creature ever performs an act of true charity (giving with no expectation of reward) it permanently loses the benefits of this template and can only perform move actions for 24 hours. This act can be performed against its will, and/or it could be tricked into performing it.
This eerie beast appears to be the animated skeleton of a huge fanged cat, its bones glowing with fire and seething with smoke. Hellcats are as large as tigers, measuring 9 feet long and weighing 900 pounds.
The hellcat is a devious predator native to the fiery pits of Hell. While the hellcat is not a devil itself, it often acts as a guardian or mount for devils.  Some might assume that hellcats serve devils as pets, but since hellcats are as intelligent as humans, they take offense to the idea that they might be anyone's pet.  On its own, a hellcat prefers to spend its time hunting and stalking prey. While the hellcat, as an outsider, need not eat to survive, it does enjoy eating for pleasure, often leaving significant portions of its kills behind for others to find. A hellcat that enters into an alliance with a devil is often used as a sort of hunter as a result. Human mortals can use spells like planar ally or planar binding to conjure hellcats for similar purposes. Those who do so are well advised to treat the hellcat with respect, for should any master prove too haughty with his hellcat or treat it as a dumb animal, the hellcat nurtures a lasting grudge. In such instances, the hellcat goes to great lengths to plan and coordinate revenge on the spellcaster, hoping to satisfy its own pride and to provide a lesson and example to all those who would deal with their kind.  Though incapable of speech themselves, hellcats understand the Infernal tongue of their home plane, and can communicate by telepathy with any creature capable of speech. Hellcats are quick to retreat if they are clearly overmatched or up against foes they cannot reach, but they never forget prey that escapes them, and will often track potential victims and try to lead allies (including other hellcats) to them in order to make coordinated attacks or ambushes.  The hellcat is only clearly visible in dim light, at these times appearing as a skeletal dire tiger with hellish flames burning and flickering along the surface of its bones.  Despite this eerie appearance, the hellcat is neither undead nor an elemental creature. The "fires" are actually its blood coursing through transparent flesh. In bright light, the hellcat's entire body fades away into obscurity, while in darkness its glowing blood is muted.
While simply attempting to earn more gold or certain goods to make oneself better off is not a sin, this simple need to create a better life through the accusation of wealth can easily transform into avarice, the desire for things. As attempts to garner ever greater amounts of treasure simply for the sake of having more than everyone else it drives the individual to perform immoral acts all in the pursuit of things at the cost of mortal lives and livelihood, as the love of money is the root of many kinds of evil. For greed is never satisfied – as soon as one obtains the thing sought after, the obtainer starts craving more, and more, and more, ad infinitum. This addiction in the worlds touched by the fiends of sin, transform one into an avaricious creature. Avaricious creatures believe everyone has a price, including themselves, but often cannot comprehend motivations like justice and revenge as they are not luxurious and have a horrible return on investment. An avaricious creature wears the finest garments, and accents its body with bits of luxury, it favors the color yellow and the motif of frogs, and its appearance often changes to reflect this.

Before Combat Aryel, Knight of Windgrace casts mage armor and false life daily, and both are reflected in her statistics. Before engaging in combat, she casts keen edge, cat's grace, mirror image, and shield.
During Combat Aryel, Knight of Windgrace initially hangs back and attempts to hamper opponents with mass reduce person and animate rope while her underlings fight. After using up her ranged spells she wades into melee with her falcata, always using Power Attack and Arcane Strike. Facing adjacent opponents, she uses Cleave rather than iterative attacks. Whenever she loses 20 or more hit points, she casts vampiric touch to heal herself (she can do so up to three times; twice from her prepared spells and once by channeling the spell through her arcane bond). When reduced to half her hit points, she casts blink and continues fighting.
Morale If reduced to 20 hit points or less, Aryel, Knight of Windgrace casts dimension door to teleport to the surface and flees, leaving her group behind. If that fails, she casts vanish to turn invisible for 9 rounds, and attempts to flee, but is extremely willing to surrender given the opportunity.

Draining Touch (Su) Tahari gains a touch attack that drains 1d4 points from any one ability score she selects on a hit. Each time she hits with such an attack, she regains 5 hit points. When she makes a draining touch attack, she cannot use her standard ghostly touch attack.

Magnum Opus (Su) Whenever Tahari infects a creature with a disease using a spell, she can infect that creature with an incurableHA, magic-resistantHA variant of Fading Light (see pages 11 and 33).

Malevolence (Su) Once per round, Tahari can merge her body with that of a creature on the Material Plane. This ability is similar to a magic jar spell (CL 10th), except that it does not require a receptacle. To use this ability, she must be adjacent to the target. The target can resist the attack with a successful Will save. A creature that successfully saves is immune to Tahari’s malevolence for 24 hours.

DESCRIPTION
Death cults such as the Whispering Way use this elixir to prevent their enemies from stealing their members’ secrets, even after death. Elite cultists typically imbibe deathgag elixir as part of an elaborate initiation ritual when they are promoted to high-ranking positions in the cult. Thereafter, should the imbiber fall below –1 hit point, the elixir triggers the release of a fatal poison that throws him into wild convulsions. The victim begins foaming at the mouth, and his eyes turn blood red. Soon after, the victim’s entire jaw dissolves, rendering him immune to speak with dead spells. Prior to the victim’s death, only a limited wish, miracle, or wish spell can undo the effects of the elixir. Individuals that have imbibed deathgag elixir are noted as being “deathgagged” in the Defensive Abilities section of their stat blocks.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Wondrous Item, contagion; Cost 700 gp
Arcane Bond (Ex) At 1st level, wizards form a powerful bond with an object or a creature. This bond can take one of two forms: a familiar or a bonded object. A familiar is a magical pet that enhances the wizard’s skills and senses and can aid him in magic, while a bonded object is an item a wizard can use to cast additional spells or to serve as a magical item. Once a wizard makes this choice, it is permanent and cannot be changed.
Inspired Necromancy (Ex) When determining the maximum number of Hit Dice of undead he can control with spells like animate dead, a character counts his Agent of the Grave levels twice. This ability does not factor into how many undead he can create with a single casting of a spell. Thus, a cleric 7/Agent of the Grave 3 would be able to control 52 Hit Dice worth of undead with animate dead.
Life Sight (Su) At 8th level, you gain blindsight to a range of 10 feet for a number of rounds per day equal to your wizard level. This ability only allows you to detect living creatures and undead creatures. This sight also tells you whether a creature is living or undead. Constructs and other creatures that are neither living nor undead cannot be seen with this ability. The range of this ability increases by 10 feet at 12th level, and by an additional 10 feet for every four levels beyond 12th. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Negative Energy Conduit (Ex) At 3rd level, an Agent of the Grave bolsters undead around him. As a standard action, an Agent of the Grave manifests an aura identical to the desecrate spell, except this foul aura has a duration of 10 minutes per level. An Agent of the Grave can use this ability once per day. In addition, any undead the Agent of the Grave creates is treated as having been created within the area of a desecrate spell.
Undead Manipulator (Ex) At 2nd level, the Agent of the Grave gains great insight into the minds and necromantic forces controlling undead creatures. An Agent of the Grave’s spells and spell-like abilities with mind-affecting effects treat undead creatures as their original type. Thus, an Agent of the Grave can use charm person against a humanoid zombie or confusion against a horde of skeletal champions.
Unholy Fortitude (Su) At 1st level, the Agent of the Grave can tap into his conviction and bolster his health. Starting with the hit points he rolls for gaining his first Agent of the Grave level and every time he gains a level in any class thereafter, the character may choose to add either his Constitution bonus or his Charisma bonus to the number of new hit points he gains for that level.
