Sin A sinspawn gains an additional skill based on its sin, as well as a weapon that reflects the preferences of its kinds’ ancient creators. The seven sins and the benefits they confer upon a sinspawn are noted in the Sinspawn Sins section.
Sinspawn Sins
When a sinspawn is created, it becomes associated with one of the seven sins: envoy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, or wrath. A sinspawn’s sin is determined by the runewell that spawned it or by its creator’s preferred sin, and cannot be changed. Each sin grants sinspawn associated with it additional benefits and abilities beyond those described by the sinspawn stat block, as detailed below.
Born of Sin
Unable to procreate themselves, sinspawn retreated from the world for many centuries following the collapse of the runelords’ empire, but in recent years they have emerged from ancient dungeons, strange magical pools, and other forgotten ruins. In certain cases, incredibly powerful artifacts crafted by the runelords known as runewells can siphon off fragments of sinful memories and emotions related to the runewells’ associated sins from the souls of people dying nearby, fueling the spontaneous creation of new sinspawn. When enough sinful energies have been gathered within a runewell, it vomits forth a fully grown sinspawn with no prior loyalty to a long-lost runelord. All sinspawn inherently understand the runewells’ role in the propagation of their kind, and they often establish small villages near awakened runewells, hunting down sentient beings they can use to propagate their communities.
Envyspawn
An envyspawn has Deception +7 and typically carries a halberd. They tend to be shorter and thinner than other sinspawn.

Melee scythe +10 (deadly d10, trip), Damage 1d10+4 slashing
Sinful Bite Creatures that critically fail their saves against a gluttonyspawn’s sinful bite are drained 1.
Greedspawn
A greedspawn has Thievery +9 and typically wields a glaive. They are the tallest of sinspawn, often 7 feet in height, and with gold-tinged veins.

Wrathspawn
The most commonly encountered of the sinspawn, a wrathspawn has Athletics +12 and typically wields a ranseur. These sinspawn are the bulkiest looking of their kind.
Melee ranseur +10 (disarm, reach 10 feet), Damage 1d10+4 piercing
Sinful Bite Creatures that critically fail their saves against a wrathspawn’s sinful bite are drained 1 as well as enfeebled 1 for 1 minute.
Sinspawn Locations
Sinspawn are found in regions where sources for their creation remain buried in ancient ruins—in Golarion, this currently limits them to the frontier lands of Varisia. But as they spread, so to does the potential knowledge of crafting more of them, and fleshwarpers around the world are hoping to someday soon craft new sinspawn of their own.
