Dusklords

ST: 2d+9
Dx: 1d+12
IQ: 1d+11
HT: 3d+10
Every dusklord worships death. they consider the death to be a fasinating event, they kill for study, ceremonies, and sport. They are notoriously agoraphobic and lock themselves indoors for months at a time, seeing no one but their servants. They look like pale humans and are averse to sunlight. They need human blood to survive, at least one pint a day which they mix with regular food or wine. They regenerate one hit point per minute unless wounded by magic and they have telekinesis at IQ level and one other random psionic ability. Dusklords are intellectual by nature and enjoy debates, political intrigue, games and riddles, they also have at least one level of magery and know 10 to 40 spells. They commonly take one or two gifted youngsters under their care to teach them ways of magic. The relationship is similar to that of a sensai and a martial artist, with the student eventually emerging with knowledge of how to live as well as how to cast spells. They live for 300 years, and when they die they liquefy into 2d gallons of black "liquor", to create a new dusklord a human must be drowned in two gallons of the icky stuff, children only take one gallon. At 200 years old they begin to slowly change, their limbs get longer and the skin acquires a mummified appearance and during the last 50 years of their life they look like the spider guy from the re-make of lost in space :)
