The Hollow Sentinels, an elite sect within the Grey Templars of the Radiant Order, were created to hunt not beasts but men—the osteomancers. These tireless inquisitors have undergone a gruesome transmutation, rendering them immune to the corrupting magic of these blasphemous wizards.
In a secret rite known only in the highest echelons of the Grey Templars, the bones of these chosen few are meticulously removed and replaced with an advanced composite, bestowed by the Scions and transmuted into a divine element through days of fervent prayers and blessings. This miraculous metamorphosis imbues the Hollow Sentinels with unparalleled resilience, enabling them to ignore even the most potent osteomantic spells.
The process of becoming a Hollow Sentinel is not without risk, and only the most devoted and resolute candidates are chosen to undergo the transformation. The loss of their innate skeletal framework is an excruciating ordeal; nevertheless, the Sentinels maintain that there is no nobler sacrifice than the ones they render in the name of their righteous duty. Albeit, the toll exacted for the attainment of such might is a remarkably slow recovery—borne from the partial loss of their humanity—oftentimes necessitating days to heal from a single mission, thereby constraining the church's capacity to deploy these invaluable combatants.

Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage and 4 ( 1d8 ) radiant damage.
Mithral Wind Strike (1/ Day). The Sentinel chooses up to three creatures it can see within 30 feet of it and makes a melee spell attack (+6 to hit) against each target. On a hit, a target takes 19 ( 3d12 ) slashing damage and 13 ( 3d8 ) radiant damage. It can then teleport to an unoccupied space it can see within 5 feet of one of the targets. The Sentinel regains the use of this action if a creature within 30 feet of it loses concentration on a spell.
