This scaled draconic humanoid has slightly digitigrade legs, granting it rapid strides as it generates and releases psychic crystals from the aether about its form. Its face is almost normal were it not dominated by a single blank bloodshot eye in place of the normal two.
The Cult of the Wyrmtongue is a dragonblooded supremacy organization who believes in the exultation of all things dragon related, and in their zeal they have taken up the practice of worshiping the Dragons Ascended, supposed gods who, real or not, seem to bless their worshipers with mutations that transform them into living weapons. Among them are the kandov, rank and file soldiers and warriors associated with the Ascended Dragon Mindok the Watcher, a being associated with knowledge, foresight, perception, and instinct. Though his minions are weak compared to others, they are many and they find strength in and fearlessness in their fellow kin. Their sharp eyes are ever-present and looking forward to the target they wish to dominate. Kendov have rough crystaline scales on their skin which pulse with dull psionic energy.
Kendov are created from the bodies of any dragonblooded species such as dragonborn, half-dragons, and rarely even lizardfolk who has draconic blood. Though it can cover multiple races, each of these variants have the same basic maweth abilities and statistics. Maweth speak Draconic, and any previous languages they spoke before their transformation.
Combat[edit]
The rank and file, kendov are ranged assault units who use pack tactics and cunning strategy to enter engagements in ideal circumstances. While not individually strong, their personal mind link allows them to act as a single unit. They like to get off attacks, then retreat and heal only to repeat the process until the target is dead.
Blessings of the Wyrmtongue (Su): The blessings of draconic forces empower a normal dragonblooded creature into one of their followers. As a follower of the wyrmtongue, they gain unique BAB, saving throws, skills per level, and class skills for what are effectively racial hit dice. In addition to the unique abilities of the wyrmtongue herald, they gain a +2 enhancement bonus to any armor, shields, or weapons they use and a +3 resistance bonus to all saves. The blessings of the wyrmtongue also protect their soul after death, traveling to a unknown but specific plane in the afterlife and immune to being affected by abilities which trap or imprison the soul.
Breath Weapon (Su): The kendov can eject a single large explosive crystal lozenge from their throats in place of a traditional breath weapon. This is a ranged touch attack out to 250 ft range that deals 1d8 magic piercing damage/HD. Creatures within 5 ft take splash damage equal to 1 point of damage per die. There is no saving throw, but the attack may only be used once every 1d4 rounds.
Crystal Dart (Su): As an attack action the kendov can launch a flurry of crystal darts off which deal 1d8 magic piecing damage plus their Dexterity modifier in damage, with a 19-20/x2 critical and 80 ft range increment. There is no reload time and it may be fired even without hands as crystals spring into existence around them.
Extraordinary Health (Ex): The kendov wyrmtongue always receives maximum hit points per HD.
Immunities (Ex): Kendov are immune to charm, compulsion, fear, paralysis, and sleep effects.
Naturally Psionic: Kendov gain 1 power point per HD, though they only use it to obtain psionic focus.
Personal Mind Link (Su): Kendov share a telepathic connection between Dragons or creatures with the dragonblooded subtype. Their effective telepathic range is out to 100 ft.
Psi-Like Abilities (Ps): 3/day- body adjustment (applies to self and allies within 10 ft); 1/day-sustenance. Manifester level 6th. The save DCs are Wisdom based.
