Wheel Of Damnation

A upper half of a tattered skeleton mantled in a wreath of blue flame is interwoven into iron spokes of a crude wheel. And yet, though the wheel whirls madly, seemingly in both directions at once, shredding the ground with spikes, the body in its center remains eerily motionless.

Special Abilities

Blast Leap (Su) When a wheel of damnation jumps, lands, falls down, or is subject to channel energy, it creates a 10-ft.-radius burst of blue flames that deals 3d6 cold and 3d6 fire damage. A successful Reflex saving throw (DC 19) halves the damage. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Buzz Through (Su) A wheel of damnation deals 3d6 cold and 3d6 fire damage when it moves through space of other creatures. A successful Reflex saving throw (DC 19) negates this damage). A wheel of damnation still needs to make normal Acrobatics check to move through space of other creatures. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Smell Damned (Su) A wheel of damnation can smell creatures that are under curse effect, lost their soul, or sold their soul through a pact, as if it had scent ability.

What terrible deeds damn those souls to suffer such wretched state after their death, is unclear, though it often looks like kytons are somehow involved, or at least present to watch...

Wheels of damnation are tormented and hateful beings seeking to inflict pain and suffering on other damned beings, though any mortal will do if they get desperate enough.
