Notes

• Despite being undead, Death lord lacks Darkvision
• This creature is specialised on using longswords yet armed with a scythe, wasting 3 feats
• Death lord's general design looks rather self-contradictory - its base profile is of a stronger death knight, yet its weapon and feats are inferior. Its Challenge Rating is lower as well, which is outright strange.
