| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
| Description | {{:Skeleton}}

A Hellknight is one of the Darkling Lords of Undeath, but they are not commonly of the high nobility. Lesser skeletons are often mindless, regardless of how mighty they are, and stronger skeletons are ridden by their murderous spirits, but have no memory of their fleshly existence. 

Deathknights are haunted by the memory of their former lives, but the fiend inhabiting them is in full control, leading to delicious levels of suffering, when a good soul is bound to the torment of their evil urges.

A Hellknight is far mightier than even a Deathknight, because they are of the Lords of Death. Like Liches, Hellknights are almost always willingly drawn into the Embrace of the Empty, and they fully recall their former lives, but instead of being bound to Evil, like the hapless ranks of the Deathknights, Hellknights REVEL in their new-found evil.

Of course, since they are emptied this revelry is muted and dminished, but make no mistake, no matter how somber a Hellknight appears, the fiendish thing CHOSE this state of existence, either explicitly, or by their actions in life. 

As a result, Hellknights completely embrace the powers of Unlife, and express the powers of their murderous spirit in full. Facing a Hellknight, or heavens forbid a troop of the dark things, is a trial of terrible difficulty. Only the greatest heroes should answer this call, and be ready to face a gauntlet of darkness and horror doing so.

Hellknights leave only silence in their wake.

   Each of these variables can be modified with up to four parameters, all optional:

       Parameter 1, unnamed, adds or subtracts from the CR. 
             Example: {{Ranged-Dmg|-2}} subtracts 2 to the CR before returning the value.

       Parameter 2, "n", modifies the base number directly. 
             Example: {{Ranged-Dmg|n=-2}} subtracts 2 from the final value.

       Parameter 3, "op" lets you change the operand affecting variable 2. 
             Values: mult, div, or leave blank (defaults to addition). 
             Example: {{Ranged-Dmg|n=2|op=mult}} doubles the damage.

       Parameter 4, "d", modifies which die size the damage uses. 
             This variable only applies to the damage variables.
             Values: d=4, d=6, d=8, d=10, d=12. Note lack of caps.  
             Example: {{Ranged-Dmg|d=10}} returns damage in form of d10's.        -->

| Ability-4-Description = Once during any odd-numbered round (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc), as a swift action, a Hellknight may raise a hand in a terrible arcane gesture, bringing forth a dark, incorporeal benison of distilled misery. This benison spreads shadows and misery from the central square, rolling around obstacles to affect all non-blocked squares in the area of effect, affecting all creatures in a 7x7x7 square area centered anywhere within 60 feet of the Hellknight's space (spread area of effect). This benison has two terrible effects.

All living enemies caught in the Dark Favor take {{Special-Swift-Dmg}} points of {{dmg|negative}} damage, and suffer the [[Withered]] condition.  Affected enemies are allowed to make a Will save against a DC of {{Save-DC}}. If they are successful, the Withered condition is reduced to [[Weakened]] and the damage inflicted is halved.

All Undead allies caught in the Dark Favor, if they are below their Bloodied value of hit points, add their Bloodied value to their hit points as healing. This cursed blessing may only affect any given allied undead only once per combat.

| Ability-5-Concentration =

| Ability-5-Description = Up to once per enemy creature per round, the Hellknight can force any creature successfully struck by their melee attacks to make a Fort saving throw against a DC of {{Save-DC}}. If they make this saving throw, there is no further effect.

If they fail this saving throw, they suffer the [[Immolated]] condition, inflicting {{dmg|Necrotic}}. This condition may not be removed before the end of the encounter by any means.

Synergy: If an enemy creature suffering the Immolated condition inflicted by Touch of the Grave is struck a second time and forced to save against Touch of the Grave, and fails this second save, that triggers a Synergy. That foe suffers {{dmg|Necrotic}} damage equal to their Bloodied value, and the Immolated condition is removed. If this damage reduces them below zero hitpoints, they are instantly killed. Note that the Hellknight may re-inflict Touch of the Grave again, if they hit again after the synergy is triggered and the foe still survives.

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = A Hellknight with this power is not made dead the first time its hit points reach zero. Instead, a fiery door opens nearby (typically at its back, or under its feet), and its crumbling form is whisked away. The gateway then vanishes, but an ominous tension fills the area. Combat continues, but the missing Hellknight retains its place on the initiative count.

The next time its initiative is reached (either in the same round it vanished, or the next round), at the top of the initiative tick, the gateway reappears anywhere within 100 feet of the space from which the Hellknight vanished. The Hellknight steps forth into any unoccupied, unblocked square it wishes. All creatures within 30 feet of the space of the Hellknight's reappearance suffers  {{Special-Alpha-Dmg}} points of {{dmg|Darkfire}} damage as the flames of Hell roil through and around the door in a destructive firestorm (spread area of effect).

The Hellknight is now on fire from its journey through Hell back to existence, and has been restored to its Bloodied value in hit points ({{Bloodied-Hit-Points}}). It may act normally on the round it reappears and typically attacks foes without hesitation, although it may also use the Open Gates to withdraw from combat if it has ulterior motives. Hellknights that have reason to flee to fight again will typically choose battlefields from which a 100 foot teleport will take them through solid stone to a place of retreat, while those seeking only to destroy will usually appear in the back ranks of their enemies.

After a journey through the Open Gates, a Hellknight remains aflame until the end of the encounter, shedding bright light within 30 feet of its space, and inflicting the [[Immolated]] condition inflicting {{dmg|Fire}} damage to all foes who successfully strike it or otherwise damage it through any means while it is alight, regardless of range or the means they used to inflict damage upon the Hellknight. This fiery Immolated condition will stack with Touch of the Grave, but unlike that power, may be removed through normal means.

<!--   COMBAT TACTICS   -->

| CombatTactics = Hellknights are dangerous and skilled warriors and bringers of doom, sheathed in dark magics. Their shadowy swords have a reach of fifteen feet, and with every swing they can step up to fifteen feet across the battlefield. They will refuse to be pinned down by strong melee fighters, plunging into the midst of their foes seeking weaker prey. 

They will switch up between melee attacks and ranged attacks, and their long-range touch attacks of shadowy horror can inflict much harm.

They will often hold their Dark Favor until one of their undead allies are Bloodied, then use it to injure their foes and restore their allies, often in the midst of a battle. This power works on their fellow Hellknights as well, so if several are present, they will battle on far longer than might be expected. If there are several Hellknights, some will use Dark Favor in the first round as an attack, and the rest in the third round to attack further and heal undead allies.

Their deathly swords can inject the shadows of death into their foes, and if they manage to drown a foe in this darkness, the damage grows terrible, and the dark of the grave yawns close. If there are several Hellknights in an encounter, they will often seek to attack in pairs or threesomes, looking for flanks, with the express intent of inflicting Touch of the Grave, and then inflicting the Synergy in the same round. The damage from this deadly tactic is massive and fast-acting, and even very powerful melee warriors can be killed with shocking speed in this manner.

Hellknights may fight to destruction, or they may order lesser skeletons and other pawns into the breach and withdraw. If they are in possession of a strong Role, their Open Gates can be used to strike their enemies and then burn them up in battle, or they may use the Gates to whisk themselves away and flee.

Hell Knights are serious bastions of the army of death, and as such they may be elite troops, favored combatants, wily commanders, or the general of an army of the dead. Hell Knights work with lesser skeletons, Liches of all powers, Vampires, and of course, Demons and Devils, Lords, and even the exotic outsiders such as Maddened, Crool, Helleskrieg, or even Waspines. A Hell Knight is powerful and flexible, and they will always present a memorable battle.
