| Description | It is widely accepted among most intelligent creatures, at a very general level, that the world we all live in is balanced upon the surface of a much larger, darker, and far more terrible reality called the Outer Madness. Most people have little understanding of Planes, and in the minds of most people, Demons, Devils, Aberrations, and most 'weird' monsters are part of this terrifying background reality. | | Description | '''''This monster frequently has the Heavy role, but may be set to other roles if desired.''''' | ||

: However, there are always those who think that 'larger and more terrible' means, 'a convenient way to get power'. As a result, all over the world, in every race, creed, and culture, civilized or not, there are those with far too much greed and far too little wisdom who seek out this Deep Darkness and pledge themselves to it. The Creeping Madness is easy to access, easy to draw upon...and insanely dangerous. A fair number of those who attempt this foolish act are consumed utterly by their very first sup of that dark well, their lives, essence, souls, and flesh consumed entire. | : However, there are always those who think that 'larger and more terrible' means, 'a convenient way to get power'.

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = | | Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = The first time in a battle a Maddened Fanatic is reduced to zero hitpoints or less, it is not killed. Instead, the fetters of its remaining humanity are broken, and the glory of the Outer Madness floods it completely. It seems to stumble and fall, landing with a gory splat, and there it remains, Immune to all further damage, until the next time it can act in the initiative order. It then uses Chaotic Rebirth as a free action, which sets it's hitpoints back to their Bloodied value ({{Bloodied-Hit-Points}}), and causes it to explode into a vast blast of gory, meaty scraps. All creatures, friend or foe, within 30 feet of their space suffers {{Special-Standard-Dmg}} points of damage as {{dmg|Hacking}} damage. Creatures are allowed a Reflex saving throw to reduce this by half, and note that other Fanatics are [[Hardened]] against this damage as they are hardened against all Reflex save effects. Lastly, the Fanatic may use their Vaulting move as part of this free action, to place themselves wherever they wish. | ||
