Hollowed
Lament
The Lament is a tormented soul, eternally trapped in a relentless twilight between worlds. Its cries of sorrow and regret echo like chilling wails through the ether. Once a living being, it has transformed into a spectral entity, bearing the deep scars of a tragic or violent demise. This haunting presence moves through reality like an anguished fog, an insidious miasma that seeps into the hearts of those it encounters.
As it glides through the shadows, an almost tangible aura of despair surrounds it, draining the spirits of the living and pushing them toward madness. Each mournful sigh it emits feels like a dagger to the psyche, a reminder of the pain it endured. Stripped of all memory of its former self, the Lament exists as a hollow shell—a ceaseless echo of grief reverberating through time, refusing to fade away. Its essence is a sorrowful testament to the agony of unfulfilled existence, forever marking the places it haunts with the weight of its lamentation.

Echo of Sorrow: 1st - Passive - Manifest - Self

Tormented Wail: 2nd - Action - Manifest - 6 Spaces
The Lament lets out a chilling scream that sends waves of sorrow through those nearby. All creatures within range must make an Endure check against the Lament's Manifest die.

Lingering Despair: 3rd - Action - Manifest - 6 Spaces
A haunting presence lingers in the minds of those who hear the cries of the Lament. Choose a foe within range. They must succeed on a Glean check against the Lament's Manifest die; otherwise, they cannot benefit from advantage on any check until the end of their next turn.
Unshakable Grief: 4th - Reaction - Influence - 12 Spaces
The sorrow of The Lament is contagious. When a foe within range succeeds on a check against the Lament’s powers, the Lament can use its reaction to force them to reroll, taking the second result into account.
Call to the Grave: 5th - Action - Manifest- 6 Spaces - Focus - 1 Minute
The Lament draws its victim toward the abyss. Choose an enemy within range. They must make an Influence check against the Lament’s maximum Manifest die. If they fail, they become entranced and have disadvantage on all rolls made to avoid damage for the duration of the power.
