description: 'Whereas most aluums are animated by the souls of volunteers loyal to
Katapesh, the Pactmasters created a handful of more capable (and deadly) aluums
powered by the souls of a dozen or more dangerous criminals. These spiritbound aluums
are rarely used as peacekeepers, instead serving as assassins, elite bodyguards,
or riot control during times of martial law.
A spiritbound aluum has a dull blue crystalline focus that stores constituent souls,
surrounded by a host of smaller gems used for trapping souls the Pactmasters wish
to deny from entering the Great Beyond. Spiritbound aluums rarely use this soul-binding
ability except when instructed by their masters. However, the murderous or embittered
souls within the aluum sometimes exert control and willfully consume a departing
soul either out of malice or to incorporate it into the construct''s core. If not
relieved of its trapped souls in a timely manner, a spiritbound aluum can develop
enough will to overcome its masters'' orders and even awaken to full sentience.
These rogue aluums typically lose the __mindless__ trait, are evil, have an Intelligence
modifier of -2 or higher, and gain several skills with bonuses ranging from +25
to +32.
