// Traits

Sekhmet Plate. Whenever the terminator takes damage, reduce that damage by 5 (minimum 1). At GM discretion, light weapons cannot harm it at all.

Warded Unto Silence. The terminator has Advantage on saves against psychic effects, and enemy teleportation or phasing within 15 feet of it simply fails.

Dust Eternal. The terminator is immune to fear, Morale pressure, Suppression, Pinned, poison, and disease. It holds its post between battles without moving.

// Actions

Soulreaper Volley. Ranged Attack: +9 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 3d8 + 4 ballistic damage. The 10-foot zone around the target is raked with sustained fire: creatures that end their turn in it make a Willpower Save DC 16 or become Pinned until the start of the terminator's next turn.

Khopesh of the Occult. Melee Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3d10 + 6 slashing damage, and the target's armor is degraded, reducing its Defense by 1 until repaired.

Warpflame Discharge. The terminator vents a 15-foot cone of sorcerous fire that ignores cover. Creatures in the cone make an Agility Save DC 16, taking 3d8 fire damage and suffering Corruption exposure on a failure, or half damage on a success.

// Reactions

Let No One Pass. The terminator makes one Khopesh of the Occult attack against a creature that enters its reach or tries to move past it.

Morale: Does not make Morale checks; it executes its last standing order until destroyed, and the order is usually to let no one pass.

Tactics: Post it at the door the party must use, and let its immobility be the point — it does not need to chase what must come to it. In the open, pair it with a sorcerer who compensates for its pace. Its anti-phasing ward should quietly ruin the party's clever entrance plan.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: The Sekhmet plate sigils and the khopesh's cartouche name the tomb-vault it guarded; the dust inside answers to neither.

Enemy Dossier

GM Reference

A Scarab Occult-Type Terminator is heavy sorcerous infantry: cataphract plate, dust-bound discipline, and warpflame weaponry moving in perfect ritual silence. It is a phalanx that magic built and magic aims.

// Battlefield Use

Use this enemy to guard what a Tzeentchian cabal values most — vaults, sorcerers, and moments in rituals when interruption would be inconvenient.

// Threat Profile

Extreme durability and armor, warpflame and heavy ranged output, psychic wards, total morale immunity, slow, devastating in narrow spaces.

// Signature Traits

Sekhmet Plate. Reduces all incoming damage; light weapons cannot harm it at GM discretion.

Warded Unto Silence. Advantage on saves against psychic effects; enemy teleportation and phasing within 15 feet of it fails.

Dust Eternal. Immune to fear, Morale pressure, Suppression, poison, and disease; it holds its post between battles without moving.

// Signature Actions

Soulreaper Volley. Heavy sustained fire that suppresses a 10-foot zone while attacking a target within it.

Khopesh of the Occult. Armor-defeating melee attack in warded reach.

Warpflame Discharge. Short cone of sorcerous fire that ignores cover; failed saves risk Corruption exposure.

Morale: No morale; it executes its last standing order until destroyed, and its order is usually to let no one pass.

Tactics: Post it at the door the party must use, and let its immobility be the point — it does not need to chase what must come to it. In the open, pair it with a sorcerer who compensates for its pace. Its anti-phasing ward should quietly ruin the party's clever entrance plan.
