Groakshadow
A paleness about the skin and an eerie crusing feeling is all that immediately gives away the indication that someone is a Groakshadow. By some, it is considered a blessing, a route to immortality, to others, it is a curse that leaves them in eternal solitude an mysery. A groakshadow is like a black hole of life. Everything around a Groakshadow withers and dies, a stroll through a beautiful forest leaves a trail of dead twisted trees, blackened grass and animal carcasses while the groakshadow can only get stronger.
A groakshadow is created by one of two methods, The first is by pure hate, evil and a complete and total contempt for all life. The second is a rarely known, and powerful curse, a curse so obscure and powerful that nothing short of a wish or a miracle can remove it.
Size and Type
The creature's type changes to outsider(augmented with base type). Do not recalculate base attack bonus, saves or skill points. Size is unchanged
Special Attacks
A groakshadow can cast "Vampiric Touch" as a spell like ability once every 1d4 rounds with caster level equal to his HD/2.
Special Qualities
A groakshadow retains all the special qualities of the base creature and gains those described below.
Life Sink(Su)
At the heart of the groakshadow's power and curse is the life sink. The groakshadow is a well that pulls in life energy and will never let it out.
Every round, Every living thing within range 5ft/2levels takes an amount negative energy damage equal to (1/2 the groakshadow's hit dice) -1 per 5 ft away from the groakshadow.
for every hit point taken in this manner in a round, the groakshadow gains half that number of hit points (a quater for plant material)
It is assumed that most small plants will have less than a single hit point, so, although they die, there is no gain, large trees however may provide a small amount of sustinance.
A groakshadow has no way of controlling this quality. It is always active, when he fights, when he walks, when he sleeps, even when unconsious until he dies.
Organization
Always Solitary
Challenge Rating
Base Creature +1 (+1 per 5HD)
Treasure
Double standard.
Alignment
Usually Chaotic Evil
Advancement
By character class.
Level Adjustment
+3 ??

Comments and help with the question marks (and probably the name) would be appreciated
