The save DC is Charisma based. Create Spawn (Su) Any humanoid killed within an atropal’s life suppression aura rises as a free-willed wraith in 1d4 rounds. A humanoid with 15 or more HD rises instead as a free willed dread wraith in 1d4 rounds. Constitution Drain (Ex) A creature struck by an atropal’s claw attack must succeed a DC 32 Fortitude save or take 2d4 points of Constitution drain. On each successful attack, the atropal gains 5 temporary hit points. The save DC is Charisma based. Damage Reduction (Ex) An intelligent weapon can overcome an atropal’s damage reduction. Life Suppression Aura (Su) All living creatures within 60 feet of an atropal gain 5 negative levels. This never results in permanent negative levels, and these negative levels are removed when the creature leaves the aura, but creatures with 5 or fewer Hit Dice are automatically slain by this effect. A creature under protection from evil, death ward or any spell or ability that has a similar effect is immune to the life suppression aura. All undead in the area gain fast healing 5 and channel resistance +5 as long as they remain in the area. Negative Beam (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, an atropal can fire a ray of negative energy. Treat this as a ranged touch attack with a range of 250 feet and no range increment. A creature struck takes 20d8 points of negative energy damage. Living creatures must succeed a DC 32 Fortitude save or take 2d4 negative levels. The save DC is Charisma based.
