Irreverends are creatures of powerful evil will, mutilated and transformed to shape them into powerful weapons against the enemies of their deities.
The creatures are often made from failing acolytes of powerful evil clerics, and are blasphemous in their very existence against all sane faiths. Any deities who know of the creation of these beings will send servants to destroy them, although the effort may be futile. The throats of these beings have been brutalized and contorted so that they can speak only absolute desecrations. The use of a lesser Book of Vile Darkness is required in the creation of an Irreverend, and is mounted on the front of the creature's armour permanently. Statistics: Irreverends are 11-Hit Die Undead with slightly below-average Intelligence. They undertand their powers, but tend not to use them imaginatively. An Irreverend Levitates constantly at a sped of about 20 feet per round, moving slowly and purposefully. At will, they may use Blasphemy as a spell-like ability, as an 11th-level caster. They are often clad in full plate armour, hammered into their flesh with iron nails, which protects them from physical assault. How you can use an Irreverend in your game: - Powerful and evil cults sometimes create one of these as a guardian against opponents. As the Irreverend's Blasphemy does not affect evil-aligned creatures within the area, it can freely activate the ability in their presence. - More powerful Irreverends are sometimes created using an entire Book of Vile Darkness. These horrible creations have double or more the number of Hit Dice, allowing their power to affect even more creatures. - There are rumours of saints volunteering for similar duties on the side of the angels, speaking only Holy Words which can banish evil creatures and vanquish evildoers.
