They tear into their victims with wicked claws, stripping flesh away to the bone. They  attack  without fear of dying as they are forced to live in eternal torment. \n'b' Once they reduce a  cleric  to  0 hit points  they will use their immolation feature. If a burned one is killed by conventional means, it rises again in 24 hours to continue to stalk its haunt. Burned ones are permanently destroyed only when their remains are consecrated by a cleric after the burned one has been reduced to 0 hit points. \n'b' Description \n'b' Burned ones appear as humans who have been burned to the bone. They exude a stench of burning flesh that alerts all wary creatures within sixty feet and they leave traces of soot wherever they step. \n'b'  Tormented by fire . Burned ones are in constant pain, forever tormented by the sensation of being burned alive, a feeling that drives them utterly insane in their undying existence. Their unlives are consumed by a single desire \xe2\x80\x93 to make others suffer the way that they have been forced to suffer. Incapable of speech due to scorched lips and tongue, burned ones moan pitifully or scream in fury in combat. \n'b'  Drawn to lost holy sites . These abominations are drawn to deserted temples and places of worship, whether crypts beneath thriving cities or abandoned temples lost to the wilderness. There they stalk, destroying all humans who come within their territory. Tales are told of ancient churches and cathedrals swallowed up in the war between gods and titans which are now populated by the once-faithful begging to be released from their eternal torment.'
