Ghastly Ripper (Ex) Whenever a mythic ghast attacks a creature that is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC or that is flanked, its natural weapons have a critical threat range of 19-20 (18-20 against non-mythic creatures). In addition, when a mythic ghast confirms a critical hit it can make an Intimidate check to demoralize its target as a free action. If the target is successfully demoralized, the saving throw penalty for becoming shaken applies to its saving throw against the ghast’s disease and paralysis from that attack.
Murderous Expertise (Ex) A mythic ghast can expend one use of mythic power to deliver a coup de grace attack against a helpless creature as a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Paralytic Aura (Su) A mythic ghast radiates an aura of paralyzing fear out to a distance of 30 feet. Any creature entering the area of effect must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or be staggered with fear for 1d4 rounds. Additionally, a mythic ghast can expend one use of mythic power as a swift action to force all creatures within 30 feet that are staggered with fear due to its paralytic aura to succeed on a second DC 18 Will save or be affected as per the slow spell for as long as they remain inside the aura, and for an additional 1d6 rounds after they leave. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
