Challenge Rating: ?
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Streams of Darkness (su): Calling on the power of the Plane of Shadow, Riven may summon a whirling sheet of darkness as a full-round action. The dark envelope flows outward as a 15’-wide line, dealing 3d6 points of negative energy damage and 1d6 points of vile damage to all within the area. Riven may use Streams of Darkness once every 4 rounds.
Twilight Charge (su): Riven may make a full attack on any round he charges or uses his Dimension Door spell-like ability.
Dark Aura (su): The presence of Rythos within Riven absorbs illumination in the area around him. Within 200 ft of Riven, ambient light is darkened to shadowy illumination, unless it is normally darker. This is otherwise the same as a Darkness spell.
Uncanny Dodge (ex): Riven retains his dexterity bonus to AC even if he is flat-footed or surprised.
Rythos’ Vigor (ex): Possession by Rythos gives Riven enormous toughness. Riven has 200 bonus HP.
Rythos’ Revitalization (su): By drawing on the forces of the Plane of Shadow and his link with Rythos, Riven may, as a full-round action usable at will, restore 50 hp and 2 points of ability damage or drain to each of his ability scores. He is helpless while doing so.
Wreathed in Night (ex): Riven may add his Charisma bonus to his armor class as a deflection bonus, and may apply his full strength bonus to his off-hand weapon damage.
Desperate Fury (su): When Riven is reduced to 50 hp or less, he gains +5 to attack, weapon damage, and armor class. This is accompanied by veins of darkness writhing in the air and other cosmetic effects.
Spell-like abilities (su): Riven may use the following spells as spell-like abilities at will: Dimension Door, Fear, Sleep. His caster level for all spell-like abilities is 20.
Equipment:
Twilight: Effectively a +1 shortsword composed of swirling, murky half-light, living creatures struck by Twilight must make a will save (DC 12) or become confused for 1 round.
Midnight: Effectively a +1 shortsword composed of utter darkness, living creaters struck by Midnight must make a fortitude save (DC 12) or become blinded for 1 round.
A little background: Rythos is one of the 11 Iltani, which are the Shadow equivalents to archdemons and the like-just below gods. In my campaign, the amount of direct interaction a power can have is inversely related to its strength, so the Iltani are able to function in a much more straightforward manner than the gods, though they still cannot take physical form. This is someone who has bound himself to the weakest of the 11. I'm not sure of how much of a challenge he'll be, though, so I offer it to your discerning eyes.
What I want is a nice challenge (as befits a minor BBEG) for a party of powerful level 7-8 adventuerers. I think it's about right, but I'm not sure, so bring on the suggestions!
