Hell Hound, Nessian

-

Outsider: An outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the material) of some plane other than the Material Plane.

Outsiders have darkvision.

Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature — its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an outsider. A different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection, is required to restore it to life. A native outsider can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be.

Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep.

Evil: Evil creatures are usually outsiders native to the evil-aligned outer planes. Evil outsiders are also called fiends. Most evil creatures also have evil alignments; however, if their alignments change, they are still considered evil creatures. Any effect that depends on alignment affects an evil creature as if the creature has an evil alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. An evil creature overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are evil-aligned.

Extraplanar: Extraplanar is any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. Creatures not extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane, such as the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, or the Plane of Shadow.

Fire: Fire creatures have immunity to fire and vulnerability to cold.

Lawful: Lawful creatures are usually outsiders native to the lawfully aligned outer planes. Most lawful creatures also have lawful alignments; however, if their alignments change, they are still considered lawful creatures. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a lawful creature as if the creature had a lawful alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A lawful creature overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are lawfully aligned.

Asmodeus, the Prince of Darkness, keeps vast kennels of these brutal warhounds beneath his palace in Nessus. All are fitted with shirts of fire-scorched barding, and the loyal beasts obey their master perfectly.

Nessian hell hounds can exhale a cone of fire. A Nessian hell hound is immune to its own breath weapon.

Nessian warhounds are tireless and relentless trackers, pursuing enemies of Asmodeus to the far corners of Hell and beyond. Once Asmodeus sets them to a task, they do not quit until either the task is complete or they are dead. They are fearsome, snarling horrors in combat.

They have scent.

The Market's Vengeance (Arodus (VIII) 15th, 4709 AR)

-
The thugs drew their weapons when the heroes did the same, and fought anyone standing between them and Zeeva. When their spellcaster was killed, any remaining thugs tried to flee the market. One of them escaped, one of them was killed, while the last was captured. The spellcaster tried to employ crowd-control spells to confound the heroes. Zeeva is unarmed and ill prepared for combat. She tried to stay out of harm's way. She pled in vain with the Pathfinders not to kill the Aspis attackers. The heroes had little time after the last of the Consortium agents was defeated . The goon who was conscious to witness the haunting experience is visibly shaken. Soon after the conclusion of the Aspis Consortium's attack on Zeeva Foxglove, a haunt  manifested by animating two piles of produce into shambling mounds and the market's central tree into an angry quickwood. Despite being indoors, a terrible wind began blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and

The Bone Field (Sarenith (VI) 29th, 4710 AR)

Image
Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele

Numerian Leaf Armor

The few forests among the scrublands of Numeria are home to druidic elves, who use secret alchemical compounds to treat special leaves used in crafting armor for their warriors. Stitching the overlapping leaves into a leather jerkin, bracers, and leggings provides great flexibility while deflecting blows as well as metal armor. Numerian leaf armor is always masterwork. It cannot be constructed from other special materials.   Cost Armor Bonus Max Dex Armor Check Arcane Spell Failure 30 ft. 20 ft. Weight Numerian leaf armor 500 gp +3 +8 0 10% 30 ft. 20 ft. 10 lb.
