True Celestial (3.5e Subtype) : An soulreaper's divine presence extends out in a 20-foot emanation. Its frightful presence effect affects all non-chaotic creatures, frightening those of 4 HD or less, and rendering others shaken. A DC 21 Will save negates the effects.

Regeneration : Chaotic-aligned magical weapons and spells with the chaotic descriptor deal normal damage to a soulreaper. If a soulreaper loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The soulreaper can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

True Celestial (3.5e Subtype) : A soulreaper's attacks deal extra damage to chaotic targets as per the holy smite spell, caster level 2nd.

 : Any attack the soulreaper makes with his +1 axiomatic wounding scythe also delivers the effect of a greater vampiric touch onto the creature hit.

 : Living creatures slain by the Soulreaper immediately raise as subservient ghosts chained to the soulreaper by a black blood chains. They make no effort to fight their captor or to resist being dragged. If the chain holding a ghost is broken, that ghost is freed and vanishes. A soulreaper with at least one soul attached to it may cast crushing despair as a free action once per round on any target creature familiar to the soul attached. The ghosts can be commanded by the reaper as if they were dominated, altough the great pain and despair they are in make them staggered.

Souls dragged to the underworld by the soulreaper cannot be resurrected by anything short of true resurrection.
