Description

Death priests worship deities of death and destruction. They plan rituals, lead undead into battle, confront obstructive heroes, and inflict casualties. A death priest might command a temple or serve as a necromancer’s right hand.

A death priest is usually accompanied by zombie or skeleton minions. The death priest does not willingly enter combat without first casting false life, aid, and death ward on itself.

In combat, the death priest combines ReaperTouch of death, and inflict wounds to dispatch enemies as quickly as possible. Starting on the third round of combat, if the death priest has fewer than half of its hit points remaining, the death priest will attempt to escape via word of recall.
