This perception is only another layer of, cruelty, however, as in death they are bound even more closely to that truth, forced to find others to pass their cursed knowledge on to. Religion DC 15, The spirit of the allip wanders in terror, forcing the horrid truth that killed them out through stammered whispers, compelled to believe that doing so will free them from their torment. Those sufficiently strong-willed to shrug such knowledge off with impunity often seem to the allip to have already descended into madness, and are treated as with indifference or a kind of commiserative kinship, ALP TACTICS Allips begin combat with their Whispers of Madness, then use their Maddening Touch on a single creature repestedly until itis reduced to 1 Wisdom. Barly in a fight they rely on their Shadow Glide to protect them, but iftheir foes consistently circumvent their damage resistances they begin using their Incorporeal Movement to hide each turn, heedless of the damage and opportunity attacks. Ifa creature succeeds on a saving throw against one of the alli's abilities by 5 or more, the allip is convinced that itis immune and becomes indifferent to it until the creature takes hostile action against it.

Those who have faced atropal scions report knocking free huge chunks of flesh with sufficiently mighty blows, which can be disastrous given the atropal’s immense necromantic aptitude.

Few such organizations have the raw power to even seriously attempt such an endeavor, however. Religion DC 15: Divine influence in the vicinity of an atropal is severely curtailed, requiring additional personal power from a divine spellcaster to make up for its defect.
