Fast Healing 15

Unlike other undead, a vampire isn&#x27;t destroyed at 0 HP. Instead, it falls <a href="/condition/unconscious">Unconscious</a>. If its body rests in its coffin for 1 hour, the vampire gains 1 HP, after which its fast healing begins to function normally.

Coffin Restoration

With a wave of its hand, the strigoi calls fourth vile ruination from the surrounding shadows, causing coils of darkness and shadowy bats, rats, and wolves to lash out at living targets in a 30-foot emanation. Living creatures in this area take 8d6 void damage (DC 34 Basic Fortitude save against the DC of the strigoi&#x27;s level). A creature that fails this save is also <a href="/condition/dazzled">Dazzled</a> for 1 round (or <a href="/condition/blinded">Blinded</a> for 1 round and then dazzled for 1 round)

Domain of Dusk

Trigger The strigoi is reduced to 0 HP
<hr/>
Effect The strigoi uses Shadow Form. It can take move actions to move toward its coffin even though it&#x27;s at 0 HP. While at 0 HP in this form, the strigoi is unaffected by further damage. Once the strigoi reaches its coffin, or if it hasn&#x27;t done so within 2 hours, it automatically returns to its physical form, <a href="/condition/unconscious">Unconscious</a>.

Shadow Escape

The strigoi reverts to pure shadow and absorbs its body and its gear into the darkness, or it shifts back to its physical form. In shadow form, the strigoi gains a climb Speed equal to its land Speed and can move through any gap that isn&#x27;t airtight. However, it can only move along solid surfaces that aren&#x27;t highly reflective, not liquid or mirrored surfaces. If the surface it&#x27;s on is destroyed, the strigoi returns to physical form and is <a href="/condition/stunned">Stunned 1</a>. The strigoi loses fast healing while in shadow form but can remain in shadow form indefinitely.
A strigoi that is exposed to sunlight while in shadow form becomes <a href="/condition/slowed">Slowed 2</a> and must attempt a DC 16 Flat at the end of each of its turns. If it fails this flat check, it is destroyed, the shadow vanishing with a blood-curdling wail.

Shadow Form

Trigger Aliriel succeeds at a save against an effect that is not a darkness or light effect
<hr/>
Effect Aliriel disappears into shadows at the last moment, critically succeeding at the save instead.

Slip Into Shadows

All strigoi possess the following weaknesses:<ul><li>Revulsion Strigoi are uncomfortable near mirrors or sources of bright light. Only a strigoi&#x27;s shadow reflects in a mirror, and this often compels them to cover or destroy mirrors in their presence rather than risk their true nature being displayed. A strigoi can&#x27;t voluntarily come within 10 feet of a brandished mirror or source of bright light. To brandish a mirror or light source, a creature must Interact to do so for 1 round (similar to Raising a Shield). If the strigoi involuntarily comes within 10 feet of a brandished mirror or light source, they gain the <a href="/condition/fleeing">Fleeing</a> condition, running from the brandished object until they end an action beyond 10 feet. After 1 round of being exposed to the subject of their revulsion, a strigoi can attempt a DC 25 Will save as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. On a success, they overcome their revulsions for 1d6 rounds (or 1 hour on a critical success). A strigoi can move normally around mirrors or bright light sources that are not brandished, although doing so causes them discomfort that can be noticed with a successful Perception check to Sense Motive.</li><li>Sunlight When exposed to direct sunlight, a strigoi immediately becomes <a href="/condition/unconscious">Unconscious</a> and falls to the ground. They appear to be dead: they don&#x27;t breathe, their body temperature matches their surroundings, and they don&#x27;t react to pain or other stimuli. A successful Perception check against the strigoi&#x27;s Reflex DC is enough to note one anomaly: the shadow cast by their &quot;dead&quot; body shifts and moves slightly, its edges twisting and active. Certain detection spells, senses like lifesense, and the &quot;corpse&quot; taking damage from vitality energy still function normally and could reveal the truth without a successful Perception check. Viewing the &quot;corpse&quot; in a mirror&#x27;s reflection can also reveal the truth, for only the body&#x27;s shadow reflects. While in sunlight and unconscious, the strigoi loses their resistance to physical damage. If the strigoi takes enough damage that they would be reduced to 0 Hit Points, their body quickly decomposes, and the strigoi is destroyed.</li><li>Water Revulsion A strigoi cannot cross a significant source of running water (such as a creek, river, or waves on a seashore). A strigoi capable of flight can cross running water provided they approach no closer than 10 feet to the liquid&#x27;s surface. If forced into running water against their will, the strigoi becomes <a href="/condition/slowed">Slowed 2</a> and gains the fleeing condition as long as they remain in the water. At the end of any turn in which the strigoi remains in running water, they must succeed at a DC 5 Flat or be destroyed.</li></ul>

Strigoi Weaknesses

Void Healing

If a creature dies after being reduced to 0 HP by Drink Essence or Domain of Dusk, the vampire can turn this victim into a vampire by donating some of its own blood to the victim and burying the victim in earth for 3 nights.
If the new vampire is lower level than its creator, it is under the creator&#x27;s control. If a vampire controls too many spawn at once (as determined by the GM), strong-willed spawn can free themselves by succeeding at a Will saving throw against the vampire&#x27;s Will DC.
A victim that is 8th level or higher becomes a strigoi servant, while a lower-level victim instead becomes a moroi vampire

Create Servitor

The vampire can cast <a href="/spell/dominate">Dominate</a> at will as a divine innate spell. Casting it requires staring into the target&#x27;s eyes, giving the spell the visual trait (DC 34 Will). A creature that succeeds is temporarily immune to that vampire&#x27;s Dominate for 24 hours.
Fully destroying the vampire ends the domination, but merely reducing the vampire to 0 HP is insufficient to break the spell.

Dominate

Requirements A <a href="/condition/grabbed">Grabbed</a>, <a href="/condition/paralyzed">Paralyzed</a>, <a href="/condition/restrained">Restrained</a>, <a href="/condition/unconscious">Unconscious</a>, or willing creature is within Aliriel&#x27;s reach<hr/>Effect Aliriel sinks her fangs into the targeted creature to drink its blood and draw out its vital essence. This requires an Athletics check against the creature&#x27;s Fortitude DC if the creature is grabbed and is automatic for any of the other conditions. The creature becomes <a href="/condition/drained">Drained 2</a> and <a href="/condition/stupefied">Stupefied 2</a>, and Aliriel regains 21 HP, gaining any excess HP as temporary Hit Points. Drinking Essence from a creature that&#x27;s already drained or stupefied doesn&#x27;t restore any HP, but increases either the creature&#x27;s drained condition value or its stupefied condition value by 1 (whichever value is lesser is increased; if both values are equal, then Aliriel chooses which condition to increase the value of).
A victim&#x27;s drained condition decreases by 1 per week. A blood transfusion, which requires a successful DC 20 Medicine check and sufficient blood or a blood donor, reduces the drained value by 1 after 10 minutes.
A victim&#x27;s stupefied condition decreases by 1 per day after performing daily preparations. If the daily preparations are done in full sunlight, the stupefied condition is removed entirely.

Aliriel cannot cast abjuration or enchantment spells.
