Justiciar Crusader (archetype)

Justiciar Crusader is a generic title and archetype given to powerful warriors who serve Shar.

Involvement

Two Justiciar Crusaders can be found in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace. Despite the similar name, they have different statistics, passives, and abilities from the Undead Justiciar Crusader enemy found in the Gauntlet of Shar.

Combat

Justiciar Crusaders will use  Subsume Shadow to enter  Umbral Form, empowering their attacks with an extra 1d8⁠⁠Necrotic and making them immune to non-magical damage. This lasts until death. Although the Umbral Form passive grants an extra attack, this does not stack with their existing  Extra Attack.
