| Beams (Su) | A Twilight Thorn may send out twisting beams of energy in order to attack an opponent. These beams cause 4d12 points of damage to a creature hit. A successful DC 19 reflex save halves the damage. The save DC is Charisma based. |
| Void Burst (Su) | A Twilight Thorn may use a giant burst of pure Void to attack its foes. This ability deals 8d10 points of damage to anything caught with a 10 foot radius of the targeted corner. This can be deflected by anyone wielding a weapon of at least +2 enhancement bonus. If the deflecting creature succeeds on an opposed Charisma check, it may choose another creature- other than the Twilight Thorn- to deflect the attack into. This Ability may be used once every 1d4+2 rounds. |
Strategies and Tactics
Twilight Thorns are the ‘giants’ of the lesser Nobodies. Their entire purpose is to smash the targets of Humanoid Nobodies, while leaving at least a few of the smaller minions alive. In combat, they mostly make as many attacks as they can against one opponent.
If the combat is occurring on a platform that can easily be moved by something of its strength, a Twilight Thorn will try to shift it so that enemies will fall off. They also have a tendency to try and trap their opponents in mid-air, before unleashing their Void Burst.
