    Dreadlings are menacing spirits born from those who die in a state of fear and horror. They are ephemeral spirits, resembling small, misshapen children, which glow a luminous blue when excited. Dreadlings seek out those they perceive as being vulnerable, and sow fear in all those around them. Just as a vampire feeds off blood, Dreadlings feed off of fear, becoming swollen and bloated off the fear they devour.

    Menace (Su)
    A creature hit by a Dreadling’s incorporeal touch attack must make a DC 15 Will save or be panicked for 2d4 rounds. Even if it saves, it is shaken for 1 round. The save is Cha based. This is a mind-affecting, fear ability.

    Unspeakable Horror (Su)
    When a Dreadling dies, it explodes in a nova of fear. All creatures within 10 ft. of it when it is destroyed must make a DC 13 Will save or fall unconscious with fear. Those that succeed on their saves are still shaken for 1 round. An unconscious creature remains in that state for 10d6 minutes, though a DC 15 Heal check can awaken it prematurely. The save is Cha based. This is a mind-affecting, fear ability.

    Devour Fear (Su)
    A Dreadling feeds on the fear of its foes. At the beginning of each round, a Dreadling gains a an amount of temporary hp equal to the number of creatures within 30 ft. of it that are either shaken, frightened, or panicked. These temporary hp last for 1 hour.

    I no longer actively read the forums, and probably won't respond to any PMs. I'm fine with people using my homebrew in anything, including fan-compilations and wikis, as long as you credit me.

    Do the temp hp from Devour Fear stack?
