{"name":"Howling Hatred Initiate","cr":"1st level cleric","types":"Humanoid","size":"Medium","languages":"","alignment":"Neutral Evil","description":"Howling Hatred initiates are attracted by the cult\u2019s \r\nphilosophy of non-attachment and the rejection of \r\nmaterial things, unaware of the cult\u2019s true nature. The \r\ncult attracts adherents of all kinds, from dreamy-eyed \r\nyouths with little property to world-weary folk eager to \r\nput their faith in something as tangible and powerful as \r\nan elemental force.\r\n\r\nInitiates live on little but air for a month, believing \r\nthat this regimen purifies them of bodily needs. In truth \r\nit makes their bodies so desperate for sustenance that \r\nthey become susceptible to indoctrination. Soon, they \r\ncan justify heinous acts within the context of the cult: \r\nHuman sacrifice isn\u2019t an act of murder, but a freeing \r\nof the soul from the limitations of a physical shell; \r\nconjuring a whirlwind to destroy unbelievers isn\u2019t an act \r\nof terror but a demonstration of true faith.","suggestedenvironment":"","ac":"13 (leather)","hitpoints":"7","strength":"10","dexterity":"15","constitution":"10","intelligence":"10","wisdom":"9","charisma":"11","movement":"30","fly":"","hover":"","burrow":"","swim":"","climb":"","senses":"","skills":"","savingthrows":"","damagevulnerabilities":"","damageresistances":"","damageimmunities":"","conditionimmunities":"","spellcasting":"","atwill":"","onceperday":"","twiceperday":"","thriceperday":"","specialabilities":"[b]Guiding Wind[\/b] (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).
