Plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, each region harbors unique horrors.

Author's Note: W.I.P. Mournhollow is a grim and foreboding land shrouded in perpetual twilight. The landscape is dotted with decaying forests, abandoned villages, and ancient ruins where shadows whisper secrets of the past. This world is plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, with each region harboring its own unique horrors. The people of Mournhollow live in constant fear, seeking the aid of mercenaries and monster hunters to protect them from the darkness that encroaches on their lives. Mournhollow is designed as a world where danger lurks around every corner, and the line between hero and villain is often blurred. It is a realm where the brave or the desperate take up arms against the darkness. Inspired by the gothic horror themes of Ravenloft, Mournhollow provides a rich setting for stories of valor, betrayal, and survival. The mercenary gunslinger will find ample opportunities to take on contracts, from slaying monstrous beasts to uncovering ancient curses. Players are encouraged to delve into the moral complexities of their characters, exploring what it means to fight against the shadows, and what price they are willing to pay for their own survival.

Actions

Necrotic Aura

Sir Alaric emits an aura of necrotic energy in a 10-foot radius. Any creature that starts its turn within this aura takes 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.

Spectral Sword

Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage plus 6 (1d12) necrotic damage. If the target is hit, reduce their hit point maximum by an amount equal to the necrotic damage dealt until they finish a long rest.

Undead Fortitude

When reduced to 0 hit points, Sir Alaric can make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a success, he drops to 1 hit point instead.

Vengeful Smite

As a bonus action, Sir Alaric imbues his spectral sword with vengeful energy. The next successful melee weapon attack deals an additional 14 (4d6) necrotic damage and forces the target to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of their next turn.
