Owb Prophet
Level 13Attacks
Abilities
Each owb prophet serves as a conduit to one of the shadowy demigods known as the Forsaken. Forsaken patrons are detailed below, and each grants the owb prophet additional abilities.
Each owb prophet gains its power through a connection with a Forsaken patron. The patron grants the owb additional spells and has its own religious symbol and favored weapons. Each entry notes any ability or occult innate spell the Forsaken grants to its prophets, plus its favored weapon.
Enkaar, the Malform
The owb prophet makes three burning cold Strikes.
A creature hit by the prophet's burning cold Strike becomes Immobilized in a cluster of binding ice crystals ().
The owb inflicts a curse on one creature taking persistent cold damage from their burning cold Strike, stealing the victim's vibrancy. The creature must attempt a DC 32 fortitude save.
On a failure, the creature gains Light Blindness and its coloration turns to washed out shades of gray, along with all equipment it carries, wields, or wears. These effects have an unlimited duration. Regardless of the result of its save, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute.
If the owb uses this ab
An owb prophet can Cast Umbral Journey as a 3-action activity instead of 1 minute. If they do so, they target only themself.
An owb who comes into contact and is chosen by one of the Forsaken gains a fragment of that demigod's power and forges a permanent connection with it. This act transforms the owb into a larger, more powerful creature and imbues it with the power of divine transference, allowing the owb to gain followers and grant spells to them. These are owb prophets.
Owb prophets may have some portion of the Forsaken's power, but they use their authority to gain more sway over calignis and other worshippers.
These ancient denizens of the Netherworld appear as grayish humanoid torsos covered in translucent funereal veils of shadow. Silent and mysterious, they float about, absent of legs to hold them aloft. Never speaking a word aloud, they instead reach into the minds of nearby creatures to whisper curses, threats, and strange bits of forlorn augury.
These haunting creatures are revered by calignis as proxies of the Forsaken—a strange array of ancestor-like demigods whom many calignis worship. Some even believe owbs are the Forsaken manifested, and that they are able to subtly manipulate creatures on the Netherworld without leaving behind any indication.
A multitude of owbs visit and even remain to advise caligni communities, as varied in personality as the Forsaken. All owbs share a hatred of light and color, except for the flickering glow of the burning cold magic they can hurl as a weapon. Owbs who live among calignis tend to prohibit the use of light and color, using their curse of darkness to quench violators if necessary. The only other similarity across all owbs is their entrenched desire to manipulate their charges through mind-reading and deception, though such manipulation can be either subtle or overt.
