Acererak, the Devourer Paralyzing Touch
Acererak, the Devourer
Acererak, a half-human lich, grasped at godlike power only to lose his grip on reality. As a vestige, he grants abilities that are similar to a lich's powers.
Vestige Level: 5th
Binding DC: 25
Special Requirement: None
Influence: As a vestige, Acererak possesses the immortality he desired but none of the power that should accompany it. If you fall under his influence, you evince a strong hunger for influence and primacy. If you are presented with an opportunity to fill a void in power over a group of creatures, Acererak requires that you attempt to seize that power. You might impersonate a missing city offi cial, take command of a leaderless unit of soldiers, or even grab the reins of runaway horses to establish your supremacy.
Granted Abilities:
While bound to Acererak, you gain powers that the great lich held in his legendary unlife.
Detect Undead: You can use detect undead as the spell at will (caster level equals your effective binder level).
Hide from Undead: At will as a standard action, you can cast hide from undead.
Lich's Energy Immunities: You gain immunity to cold and electricity damage.
Paralyzing Touch: As a standard action, you can make a touch attack to paralyze a living foe. The touched creature must succeed on a Fortitude save or be paralyzed for a number of rounds equal to one-half your effective binder level. Each round on its turn, the paralyzed creature can attempt a new saving throw as a full-round action, with success ending the effect immediately. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again for 5 rounds.
Undead Healing: Negative energy (such as that of an inflict spell) heals you rather than damaging you. If you are a living creature, positive energy (such as a cure spell) still heals you as well.
