Well that was fun.
It looks... impressive.
Glad you like it. :)

Though I notice that despite the ELH leShay having both Improved Critical and the keen enchantment on his weapons (no, they don't stack in his Attacks stats), you didn't give them anything crit-related. :smirk
That's the Gloom's stick. And hey, most epic monsters have improved critical and keen on their weapons. There's just so much combat-worthy feats you can pick when you have 30+ HD.

Also, you might want to double-check the text of Greater LeShay Weapons.
Ups, that was messy. Cleaned it up.

Maybe a feat to let them turn their weapons into a bow? (he has a bow in the picture! :p)
He also has two swords at his belt. But heh, what the heck, sounds good, I'll do it.

EDIT: And done.

Wendigo


[spoiler]
Monster Prestige Class

Requirements:
To qualify to become a Wendigo, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

Race: Animal, giant, humanoid, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid.
Special: Must have their Wisdom reduced to 0 by Wendigo's hunger, OR perform a special ritual that demands they spend three days walking through a forest or tundra without stopping, resting, eating, or drinking.

HD: d6
LevelBaBFortRefWillFeature
1+0+0+0+2Stumped Body, Maddening Whispers, Stalking Paranoia, Primal Instincts
2+1+0+0+3Wind Walk, Regeneration, Wendigo Hunger, Ravenous Bite, +1 Dex

Skills: 2+Intelligence modifier per level, class skills are Balance, Bluff, Hide, Intimidate, Listen, Knowledge (nature), Move Silently, Search, Sense Motive, Spot, Survival.

Proficiencies: The Wendigo becomes proficient with its natural bite attack.

Stumped Body:Maddening Whispers: 1/day per HD, as a standard action, the Wendigo may whisper insane thoughts into a target creature within 10 feet per HD. Only the target creature can hear them, and they must make a Will save (DC 10+1/2 HD+Cha modifier) or take 1d3 wisdom damage. This wisdom damage increases one die size for every 4 HD of the Wendigo.

At 8 HD it becomes Wisdom Drain.

At 12 HD it deals half Wisdom Drain even if the victim suceeds on the save.

At 16 HD it can affect creatures immune to ability drain, but it deals half drain on a failed save and no drain on a successful save.

This is not a fear ability, and may ignore any immunity to mind-affecting attacks, with the exception of mindless creatures, which are still immune to this effect.

Stalking Paranoia: Just because others can't see a Wendigo doesn't mean it isn't there. As a swift action the Wendigo may select a creature in his field of vision that hasn't detected the Wendigo. That creature takes -2 on any roll or modifier based on its wisdom, as the Wendigo lurks just at the corner of the victim's field of vision, making them paranoid. This penalty lasts until the target detects the Wendigo or the Wendigo loses sight of the target. This may only target one creature at a time.

For every 5 HD the Wendigo has, this penalty increases by an extra -1.

Primal Instincts: The Wendigo's hunting senses are sharpened to the extreme. It gains a bonus on Hide, Move Silently and Survival checks equal to half its HD.

Sky Walk: At 2nd level, the Wendigo can use Wind Walk as a spell-like ability on itself 1/day for every HD it has, as a move action. It can still use its Maddening Whispers ability while incorporeal. It can only float above the ground unless it has 4 or more HD.

Regeneration: At 2nd level the Wendigo gains regeneration equal to half his HD, bypassed by fire. However, it cannot regrow or re-attach lost limbs.

Wendigo Hunger: At 2nd level, creatures bitten by the Wendigo must make a Fortitude (DC 10+1/2 HD+Con modifier) save or contract a supernatural disease, Wendigo's Hunger.
[spoiler]
Wendigo's Hunger: It incubates for 1d3 days and deals 1d3 Wisdom damage for each day it lingers. Every time Wisdom damage is taken from this, the afflicted creature must make a Will save with DC 10+1/2HD+Cha modifier or start to hunger for its own race's flesh. The creature will use any means at it's disposal to stalk and kill a member of his own race in secret, feed on it's flesh, and then return to his normal life while forgeting everything since he failed the Will save.

Creatures reduced to 0 Wis by this disease gain the Wendigo template, but they also become mad and race to the wilderness to stalk their own victims.
[/spoiler]

In addition, when a living or undead creature is bitten by the Wendigo in battle, it must make a will save with DC 10+1/2HD+Cha mod or spend it's next turn trying to bite the nearest creature it can see, be it friend or foe. If the creature doesn't have a bite attack it will try to grapple the neatest creature instead.

Ravenous Bite: At 2nd level the Wendigo's bite now threatens a critical on a 18-20 and deals triple damage on a successful critical.

Ability Score Increase: The Wendigo gains +1 Dex at second level.

[/spoiler]

Comments
[spoiler]
From Fiend Folio
The Wendigo is the dark side of natural hunger, a creature that stalks his own and forever roams searching his next victim, driving them to the brink of desesperation before delivering the final blow.

First level gives the iconic maddening whispers and stumped body plus skill bonus. Second level gives the wind walk, disease and regeneration.

I improved the disease to make it combat-worthy by forcing biten oponents to resist or be overcome by hunger themselves. Particulary good against caster-types, not that good against big monsters with big bite attacks.

Since it has a lot of abilities low saves, Bab and limited skill points and no new proefeciencies besides the bite.

You can only actualy start flying at 6th level for balance purposes, but Wind-Walk flight comes online at 4th level since it's much more limited.

Keen senses: The Fang Dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.

Trip (Ex):Arcane Blood:A fang dragon receives spells known and spells per day as a sorceror of 2/3 his level, but he has CL equal to his HD.
If he multiclasses as a sorceror, the casting stacks.

If a dragon takes a casting prc, it may choose to advance his casting as that of a sorceror. So a dragon 10/loremaster 10 would cast as a 16th level sorceror.


Blindsense: At 3rd level, as the normal ability, range 60 ft.

Fang Dragon SLAs:
At 3rd level the Fang dragon can use Detect Magic and Read Magic each 1/day for every HD it has.

Wings: At 4th level the Fang Dragon becomes able to fly at the speed of 10 ft. per HD, with poor maneuverability. The maneuverability doesn't increase naturally, but players can take the Savage Species feat that increases it by two steps (stackable). Each wing can also be now used to deliver a natural attack dealing 1d4 damage.

Enhanced Damage:At 5th level the Fang Dragon is a dangerous weapon, every part of it capable of killing you, such it is that because of how dangerous the dragon is its Natural Weapons damage scales as if it was one size larger then the dragon actually is.

Sound Imitation (Ex): At 5th level a Fang dragon can mimic any voice or sound it has heard, anytime it likes. Listeners must succeed on a Will save (DC Dragons Level + Cha Modifier).

Growth: At 6th level the Fang Dragon grows to Large Size.
At 12th level the Fang Dragon grows to Huge Size.
At 17th level the Fang Dragon grows to Gargantuan Size.

His AC, bonus to hit, base damage, grapple and skills change accordingly, but he does not get any ability score bonus or penalties.

Tail slap: The Fang dragon can now make a tail slap attack dealing 1d8 damage(already taking in account large size).

Shield:
At 7th level the Fang Dragon can use shield as a SLA 1/day for every 2 HD it has

Dispel Magic:
At 8th level the Fang Dragon can use dispel magic as a SLA for every 4 HD it has. At 11 HD this ability upgrades to Greater Dispel Magic SLA.

Telekinesis: At 9th level the Fang Dragon can now use Telekinesis as an SLA 1/day for every 3 HD it has, save DC 10+1/2HD+Cha mod.

Arcane skin:At 10th level the Fang Dragon gains SR equal to his HD+11.

Iron Scales: At 11th level the Fang dragon gains DR/magic equal to half his HD.

Frightful Presence:Crush:
Globe invulnerability:
At 13th level, SLA as the spell, 1/day for every 4 HD.

Fast Healing:
As the standard ability, equal to half the Fang Dragon's HD.

Spell Turning: At 15th level the Fang Dragon can now use Spell Turning as an SLA 1/Day for every 5 HD it has.

Carnivore Speed:
At 16th level the Fang dragon gains +10 foot to his base speed, and an extra +10 for every 2 HD gained from here.

In adition, the Fang Dragon can cast one of his SLAs on himself as a swift action when performing a charge.

Tail sweep:Draining Body: At 18th level select one of the Fang Dragon's natural weapons besides his bite. That weapon now deals Con Drain as his bite. Once made this choice can't be changed.


Outburst1/day, the Fang dragon can go into a rage as a free action in wich it tears even more viciously than normal. It lasts for a number of turns equal to the Fang Dragon's Con modifier, and during it oponents that sucessfully save against his Draining bite/body still take half Con drain.

Shred: At 20th level the fang dragon now ignores immunity to energy drain. If attacking an oponent whitout Con score it deals Cha drain instead.

[/SPOILER]

Comments:
[spoiler]
The Fang Dragon is a more vicious version, growing faster and trading his breath weapon for improved melee capacity. It hits pretty hard in melee and has powerfull abjuration SLAs to get close to pesky spellcasters.

If you want to play a more savage dragon that tears apart his oponents with his limbs, the Fang Dragon's for you.

The half-golem seems quite powerful... So at level 20, it could have a +17 to one physical ability score from "Improvement"? And this is an untyped bonus? On top of the other stuff from the template? Is that intended?
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

SiggyDevil: The MM Nightwalker correct?

I mention this mainly because of how freaking huge it is.

I'll try to keep it updated. But really, the original half-golem was just 6 versions, and then he went and made it a project on it's own. The 68 here should be more than enough for now. Gods, and to think I started this whole thing as a hobby...

PhaedrusXY:Well yes. Strenght is tecnically the weakest score of all, so even if you get +17by 20th level, what's the worst that could happen?

Yes indeedy. Not the variants, mind you. Just the humanoid one. I'd love to play a L1 Nightwalker no matter how weak (it could have merely a single ability: the Improved Sunder feat).

It says any physical score. So let's put that +17 in Con, and give this thing a breath weapon (the other 17 levels could be in Dragon or something). This also would stack with all the other ways of inflating your Con score. So now it has its hit points, main attack DC, and armor class based on its massively inflated Con score.

Seriously. +17 is too big. It's totally ridiculous, and kicks you off the random number generator that the rest of the game uses. Nothing else gives you a bonus anywhere near that big pre-epic. It may not be game-breaking in and of itself, but it is totally out of line with everything else in D&D, basically. I think it should be limited to half your character level, and be an enhancement bonus. It should also scale in the normal fashion, but maybe have some kind of discount built in, and allow you to go above +6 pre-epic.

Sorry, let that slip by, was suposed to be only Str score. Corrected now.

Giant size (up to +32 Str pre-epic,plus other goodies). Polymorph. Shapechange. Bite of the WereX. Str is really easy to boost.

I think it should be limited to half your character level, and be an enhancement bonus. It should also scale in the normal fashion, but maybe have some kind of discount built in, and allow you to go above +6 pre-epic.

One of the golem's (and half-golem) main traits are their massive Str scores compared to the rest of their ability scores. I wanted to represent that, that having a golem limb makes you hit harder than the giant sized shapechanging cleric. Plus Str isn't really tied to anything meaningfull besides melee damage, besides hulking Hurler Shenigans, but that combo is already broken whitout need of help.

Boosting any score yes was broken, but Str-only is perfectly manageable in my opinion.

Half-Golem Construction Materials (A-N)
[spoiler]Adamantine-Alchemical-Amorphion Golem- This material is constantly changing, ever reshaping itself. The Half Amorphion Golem may add a +2 bonus to any one of its ability scores. It may reassign this bonus 1/day, as a standard action. Further the Half-Amorphion Golem may alter its form as per the spell Alter Self 1/day per 4 HD as a Full Round Action, caster level equal to its HD.

Artillery- This material is designed for effect combat mobility, the Half Artillery Golem may slow any fall it takes to 30 feet per round, and does not take falling damage while conscious. Upon Reaching 5 HD the Half Artillery Golem may levitate as if it had cast the spell of same name upon itself for a total number of rounds per day equal to its HD+ Charisma modifier. It does not suffer the normal attack penalties for this levitating. The Artillery Golem's levitation speed is 20 feet + 5 feet for every 2 HD it has above 5.

Ash- This material is loose and easily airborne, creating quite a few problems for anyone standing near the Half Ash Golem. Any time the Half Ash Golem is damaged, it fills all squares adjacent to it with thick clouds of airborne Blistering Ash, causing a -2 penalty to Dexterity and vision based skill checks, attacks rolls, and Reflex Saves to all creatures within a square of airborne ash. Further, if the creature that did the damaging is in an adjacent square to the Half-Ash Golem, it suffers 1d4 points of fire damage per 4 HD.  The Half-Ash Golem may also leave clouds of Ash behind it as part of a move action, filling any square moved through by the Half Ash Golem with this same airborne Ash. This ash dissipates three rounds after forming, and can be dissipated fast by wind effects. Further when a Half Ash Golem gains Damage Reduction at third level, it gains DR/ Adamantine and Bludgeoning.

Assembly-Assembly Golem Block[/spoiler]

Battleglory-Birthday-Cake-Heroism caster level equal to its HD.

Blood of War- This material is very strong but demands constant upkeep or else it becomes a hindrance. The character's strength score improves by an extra +4 and its Natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier, further, it can detect any creature within a 30 feet per HD range that has been injured or is actively bleeding, as if by the Scentspecial quality. The Half Blood of War Golem must consume an amount of blood equal to the water it requires each day, every day the Half Blood of War Golem does not consume such blood it must make a Fortitude save (DC 10+number of days since its Last Feeding) or grow weak. It loses 1 points of Strength each day it fails this save. It takes 1 minute of interrupted work with proper tools (cost 50 GP, not expended by this) and the body of a recently slain creature with blood (Which is consumed in this process, each creature offers a total amount of repairs equal to half its constitution score), and a successful heal, profession, or craft check the appropriate type with DC (18) to remove each point of this Strength penalty. A Restoration spell will automatically remove this Strength penalty and will prevent this Strength penalty for 24 hours. The subject can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these repair checks.

Brain- This material resonates with psionic energy. The Half Brain Golem gains a +2 bonus to Intelligence and gains a deflection bonus to armor class equal to its Intelligence modifier, further it gains two additional power points per HD.

Brass This material greatly improves the olfactory capabilities of the Half Brass Golem. The Half Brass Golem gains the Scent ability and gains a bonus on Survival checks (Including those made in Tracking) equal to its HD, it may make survival checks in the place of intelligence checks when attempting to navigate labyrinths and mazes, including those created by the Maze spell. Further the Half Brass golem gains a +2 bonus to strength, and its bonus natural armor is increased to equal its constitution modifier.

Butterscotch-Pudding- This material is extremely sticky making the subject a great walking mess.  Any weapon that deals damage to a Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem becomes stuck to its skin, unless the wielder succeeds on a DC (10+1/2HD+Str Mod) Reflex save. The weapon may be retrieved with a successful disarm check which the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem receives a racial bonus to equal to half its HD. A Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem can spend a standard action to cover over a single weapon per round and hide it within its Limb, however the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem may only have one item hidden within its limb at any given time. This item can only be retrieved if the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem is unconscious and requires a Disarm check as if the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem is taking 10.

Cadaver-Collector- This material is built with fierce steel and cruel spikes, the Half Cadaver-Collector Golem is treated as having armor spikes of a creature one size larger than it is for all intents and purposes.  It is naturally proficient with these armor spikes, further, the Half Cadaver-Collector Golem is considered a quadruped for carrying capacities.

Caltrop- This spiky material is constantly falling apart, as such any square moved through by a Half Caltrop Golem is left covered in caltropsCalzone-Carver-Chain-Chocolate-ConfusedClay- This material gives extra momentum to the Half Clay Golem. After it has engaged in at least one round of combat the Half Clay Golem can act as if it were under the effects of Haste. Activating this ability is a free-action, and lasts 1 round per HD and can be used once per day plus an extra use for every 4 HD the Half Clay Golem has. In addition, when the Half Clay Golem gains Damage Reduction at 2nd level, it gains DR Adamantine and Bludgeoning.

Coral-Demon-flesh- This material is hewn from the bodies of the Flying terrors that hail from the Abyss. The Half Demon-Flesh Golem never suffers from falling damage and falls at a rate of 20 feet per round, even while unconscious its grafted wings snap open slowing its fall. Upon reaching 5 HD it gains the ability to glide 20 feet in any direction for every 10 feet it falls, its maneuverability is poor. Even if its maneuverability is improved to perfect, it cannot hover while gliding. Further the Half Demon Flesh Golem gains Darkvision 60 feet, this Darkvision works even in magical darkness.

Dragon-flesh- This material is exceptionally sensible to vibrations. The Half Dragon-flesh Golem gains Blindsense with a range of 20 feet plus an extra 5 feet for every HD it has, further the Half Dragon-flesh golem gains a racial bonus on jump checks equal to its HD.

Fang-Fewmet-Flesh-Force- This material is naturally enigmatic, The Half Force Golem gains a deflection bonus to armor class equal to its Wisdom modifier, further it gains a bonus on bull-rush checks (including opposed strength checks that are part of bull-rush checks) equal to its HD.

This material was deftly put in motion by the forces of Law itself, adamantine, Mithral, Silver and Marble make up gears, cogs, sprockets, and whirligigs that twist and turn within its complicated construction. The Half Gear Golem finds itself functioning at maximum efficiency, requiring half as much sleep or meditation each night, even to prepare spells, half as much food/water, and half as much air as other creatures (It may hold its breath twice as long as it could before.) Further it gains a +2 bonus to Dexterity. If the Half Gear Golem becomes a construct through the danger, this clockwork efficiency goes to its mind, granting it a +2 bonus to Wisdom. Further, the Half Gear Golem may make repairs on other Constructs without a craft check or tools, it effectively gains access to any Repair spell of equal level or lower to half its HD, this ability is usable a number of times per day equal to its wisdom modifier.

Gloom-Grave-dirt-[/spoiler]

Hangman- This material has impressive self-preservation properties but requires constant maintenance. The subject gains fast healing equal to half its HD. Further the Half Hangman Golem gains a racial bonus to Climb, Use Rope, Profession (Sailor) and Profession (Hangman) checks equal to half its HD. However every time the Half Hangman Golem takes slashing or fire damage it must make a Fort save DC (10+ damage dealt) or it takes a -1 penalty to Dexterity. Further damage taken increases this penalty by an extra -1 to Dexterity for every failed save. It takes 1 minute of interrupted work with proper tools (cost 50 GP, not expended by this) and a successfully profession or craft check the appropriate type with DC (18) to remove each point of this Dexterity penalty. The Half Hangman Golem can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these repair checks. A repair spell of any level instantly recovers an equal amount of this Dexterity penalty to the Hp damage it recovers.

Hellfire- This material is wrought from the very fires of the hells, The Half Hellfire Golem's Dexterity improves by an extra +2 and its Natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier. Any creature that damages the Half hellfire Golem suffers 1d4 fire damage per 4 HD the Half Hellfire Golem has.

This material is often made from clay and the blood of the very person who is to receive the Limb. A Half Homunculus Golem never fails their The Danger will save unless the participant wills it do so, further the Homunculus limb has almost a secondary awareness to it, granting the subject a +2 bonus to Dexterity.

Ice- This material is mined from the eternal mountain that holds ancient evils deep within its ice. The Half Ice Golem's Strength improves by an extra +2 and its Natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier. Any creature that damages with a melee attack the Half Ice Golem suffers 1d4 cold backlash damage per 4 HD the Half Ice Golem has.

Inevitable- This material is the flesh of Law itself, steel, ivory, brass and marble stolen from those who exist to maintain Order. The sheer force of Order and Law override any auras the Half Inevitable Golem would normally project. Any divination power that reveals alignment reveals only Lawful about the Half Inevitable Golem. All spells and effects that affect creatures based on alignment treat the Half Inevitable Golem as if it were Lawful or its own alignment, whichever would be better for the Half Inevitable Golem. The natural abortion of deceit runs hot within the inevitable limb, causing a tangible pain in the subject that assists with dealing with such trickery. The Half Inevitable Golem receives a racial bonus on all checks that it makes opposed by a bluff check equal to 1/2 its HD.

Inquisition- This material is exceptionally cruel, and capable of silencing the cries of its opponents. Once per day per 2 HD the Half Inquisition Golem has the Half Inquisition Golem may use SilenceIron-Junk- A Half Junk Golem is immune to spells that normally effect metals or other specific materials, as that that their materials are not depended on any specific make-up, further the Half Junk Golem suffers half damage from any spell that directly damages constructs or objects.  Further the Half Junk Golem may scavenge through refuse and trash in order to find appropriate materials to repair its body. A Half Junk Golem that spends 4 hours digging through a large collection of refuse, trash, garbage, or junk of mixed useless materials may recover Hp as living creature that has rested for 8 full hours. It requires 1 pound of mixed junk for every 1 hp restored in this manner.   

Juggernaut-Magmacore- This material is a mix of metal, stone, and molten earth, and is particularly difficult to contain, as such any square moved through by a Half Magmacore Golem is left covered in molten earth. These squares of Molten earth are considered difficult terrain, and slow land movement speeds as if it were two squares. Further any creature entering or standing in a square of molten earth suffers 1d4 points of fire damage per 4 HD the Half Magmacore Golem has. These squares of molten earth dissolve and cool three rounds after forming, and do not effect the Half Magmacore Golem.  Further the Half Magmacore Golem gains a bonus to natural armor class equal to its full constitution modifier.

Mindstrike-Mud-Mithral- This material is uncannily light and durable.  After it has engaged at least in one round of combat the Half Mithral Golem can act as if it were under the effects of haste. Activating this ability is a free-action, and lasts 1 round per HD and can be used once per day plus an extra use for every 4 HD the half Mithral Golem has.  In addition the Half Mithral Golem gains a +2 bonus to Dexterity, and all of its base speeds increase by 10 feet.

I know of the Ettin that has three heads. Is that some obscure giant with three brains or a joke I didn't get?
I'd guess that's a reference to the multi-headed template from Savage Species.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

The NightWalker is a medium sized undead with two natural slam attacks dealing 1d6+Str modifier damage each and base speed 40 feet. The NightWalker takes no penalty for attacking with both claws at the same time. Any class levels the NightWalker takes have their HD increased to d12.

In addition, a NightWalker gains a Natural armor bonus equal to it's Charisma modifier.

NightWalkers cannot speak, but they have telepathy out to 20', with an additional 5 feet per HD

Daylight Aversion: If exposed to natural daylight (not merely a daylight spell), a NightWalker take a -4 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. The nightwalker can avoid this penalty by wearing a cloak or some other sort of heavy cloaking.

In return, a Nightwalker gains +1 to attack rollls, saving throws and skill checks while in an area of darkness. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 HD of the Nightwalker.

Chilling Blow:The NightWalker may temporarily paralyze parts of an oponent's body, or force them to drop what they're carrying Whenever the NightShade hits an opponent with one of their slam attacks, they may choose to deal half damage and prevent the oponent from using one of his natural weapons for 1 round (NightWalker's choice), or perform a disarm atempt as a free action.

Darkness Skin:At 2nd level, the NightWalker gains DR/Silver and a bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks equal to half their HD, plus resistance to cold equal to their full HD.

At 6th level it improves to DR/Silver and magic

Ability Increase: The Nightwalker gains a permanent +1 to Str at all levels and +1 to Cha at levels 4, 8,  11, 13,  15, 16, for a total of +14 Str and +6 Cha at level 16.

Creeping shadow:At third level, the Nightwalker can begin to manipulate light and shadow, gaining the ability to use  Deeper Darkness, Invisibility and See Invisibility as SLAs, each 1/day per HD.

The Deeper Darkness SLA of the NightWalker counts as having a level equal to half the NightWalker's HD for purposes of countering/dispelling light spells.

Evil Gaze:Stalking Shadow:At 5th level the NightWalker can use Contagion,  Haste and Dispel Magic as SLAs, each 1/day for each 2HD. Save DCs are 10+1/2 HD+Cha modifier.

At 10 HD the NightWalker's contagion can affect even creatures immune to disease, but they gain a +5 bonus on their Fortitude saves to resist it.

At 11HD the Dispel Magic upgrades to Greater Dispel Magic.

Growth: At 6th and 12th level of this class the NightWalker grows one size category.

If all levels of the NightWalker were taken, it grows one more size category upon reaching 18 HD.

Sudden Darkness: At 6th level, the Nightwalker can use Deeper Darkness as an immediate action.

Consuming Shadow: At 7th level the NightWalker can use Unholy Blight 1/day per 3 HD, except that it affects creatures of all alignments except evil undead like they were good creatures, and it has no Maximum damage limit.

Against actual creatures of good alignment, it counts them as good outsiders.

Against actual good outsiders, it deals 1d8 damage per caster level.

Summon Darkness:at 8th level the NightWalker can summon forth 1d2 shadows 1/hour as a standard action. They arrive instantly and serve for 1 minute per HD. Undead summoned this way can never spawn other undead.

At 10 HD the NightWalker may summon 1d4 shadows or 1d2 Wraiths instead.

At  12 HD the nightwalker may summon 1d6 shadows, 1d4 Wraiths or 1d2 Greater shadows instead.

At  14 HD the nightwalker may summon 1d8 shadows, 1d6 Wraiths, 1d4 Greater shadows or 1d2 Dread Wraiths

At  16 HD the summoned Undead can deal half ability damage/drain to oponents normally immune to it.

Overwhelming shadow:At 9th level the NightWalker can use Cone of Cold as a SLA 1/day for every 4 HD it has, except that it has no Maximum damage, and oponents are entangled for 1 round per HD if they fail their saves, or for 1 round if they suceed on their saves.

Nightmare: at 9th level the NightWalker can fly with poor maneuverability at half its land speed, and gains SR equal to 11+HD.

Desecrating Aura:Master shadow:At 11th level the NightWalker can use Confusion and Hold Monster as SLAs 1/day for every 4 HD it has. Save DCs are 10+1/2 HD+Cha modifier.

Darkness Fist: at 12th level, whenever the NightWalker hits an opponent with its slam attack, it may spend one of his Deeper Darkness as a free action on that opponent to cover his eyes with pitch black, making it become blind for 10 min per HD. A reflex save with DC 10+1/2HD+Str mod prevents the blindness.

Crushing shadow:At 13th level the NightWalker can use Planeshift and Shadow Walk  as SLAs 1/day for every 5 HD. Save DCs are 10+1/2HD+Cha mod.

Crush:At 14th level a NightWalker can destroy any weapon or item at least one size category smaller than itself (even magic ones, but not artifacts) by picking it up and crushing it between its hands. The nightwalker must make a successful disarm attempt to grab an item held by an opponent. The item is entitled to a DC 10+1/2HD+Str modifier Fortitude save to resist destruction.

If it fails, it's crushed into fine diamond powder worth the same amount as the destroyed item.

This also allows the NightWalker's to automatically destroy lasting magical effects (even ones such as a Wall of Force) by hitting them with his Slam attack and spending one of his Greater Dispel Magic uses.

Unstopable shadow: At 15h level the NightWalker can use Finger of Death as a SLA 1/day for every 6 HD it has, except that it also affects creatures immune to Death effects, including other undead, which are reduced to dust. Those creatures gain +5 on their saves to resist this however. Save DC is 10+1/2 HD+Cha mod.

Eclipse:At 16th level, 1/day as a standard action, the NightWalker can block the very Sun (or whatever main source of light illuminates the current plane it is on) on top of smoothering all other light sources by covering them with pitch black. Mundane fires, lanterns and the like grow dark (but aren't actually put out) and even magic sources of  of light are suppressed unless they're from artifacts. This means the NightWalker and other creatures that are normally vulnerable to daylight take no penalty for the duration of the eclipse, wich lasts 10 minutes per HD.

 Spells with the light descriptor of 8th level or lower are automatically countered/dispelled on a radius of 1 mile per HD centered on the NightWalker during the duration of the Eclipse.

Finally, during the Eclipse, all the bonus from the Desecrating Aura becomes equal to the Nightwalker's HD/2, its area increases to a radius of 5 feet per HD, and the penalty to turning increases to -10.

In Soviet Russia, the Darkness attacks you! :p

Ahem, the Nightwalker is a shaddow-focused undead, altough it itself is corporeal, and instead of ability damage/drain it focuses on breaking stuff up.

At first level you've got a disarmer/sunderer that's also usefull against weaponless oponents. As the NightWalker grows it unlocks DR, some skill bonuses, a wide variety of SLAs focusing on stealth and debuffing/disabling, size increases, minions, flight, SR and some other goodies, making for a quite versatile monster. I buffed some of the more limited SLAs to give it some extra punch.

The signature ability, Crush can also be used to break down Walls of Force and the like, and I gave it Shaddow walk because it seems to fit.

As a capstone you can literally cover the land in darkness for some hours, allowing you and your minions to spread terror unchecked by pesky daylight.

If you want to play a walking solid shaddow that smoothers all hope wherever it goes, the NightWalker is for you.
