Creating Monsters for Spheres of Might and Power [SB:UatIF]

Adding and creating monsters with Spheres of Might and Spheres of Power is simple and easy, following many of the same basic rules for player characters. The advice found in this section is meant to serve as a guideline when adding Spheres of Might or Spheres of Power to a monster stat block.

Whether the monster you are creating needs a combat training progression or spherecasting, or only needs a monster tradition or to exchange a few of its feats for Extra Combat Talent. Being able to identify what “role” the monster plays in combat can help when deciding this. A role is a mechanical goal a stat block has, either in combat or outside, such as a damage dealer, tank, healer, or support, or generally identifiable roles in a common RPG. This book provides suggested talent paths, based on thematic roles, to help when creating monster stat blocks as well as general guidance for adding Spheres of Might and Spheres of Power to your game’s monsters.

This page is not a guide to creating and balancing monster stat blocks. Many resources exist for learning how to create monster stat blocks, such as:

  • Appendix 1: Monster Creation of the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary pg. 290)
  • Simple Monster Creation Rules from Pathfinder Unchained (Pathfinder Unchained pg. 194).
  • Talented Monster Creation rules (The Genius Guide to the Talented Bestiary, © 2017, Rogue Genius Games).

Balancing Talent Progression Using CR, Not Hit Dice

Challenge rating, or “CR”, has been Pathfinder’s way of creating benchmarks based on experience, average statistics, and other considerations against a party of adventurers of specific levels. Creatures with racial Hit Dice, as a general rule, tend to have more Hit Dice than creatures with class levels. This is to compensate for their lack of class features, gear, and other abilities, and is then further complicated by creatures with “worse” racial Hit Dice, such as fey, usually having more Hit Dice than a creature with “better” racial Hit Dice.

According to the original guidelines in the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary, a CR 15 fey will have 26 Hit Dice compared to a magical beast’s 21 Hit Dice. Being conscious of Hit Dice being attached to talent progression, and balancing or readjusting the creature’s Hit Dice below benchmark values to compensate for their talent progression will help ensure encounters are more appropriately balanced.

Monsters and Spheres of Might

Monsters can use Spheres of Might much like a player character. When a monster gains a talent from a combat sphere or a martial tradition, they gain the ability to maintain martial focus and determine their spheres DCs using their base attack bonus (10 + 1/2 base attack bonus + their practitioner modifier).

Most monsters use Wisdom as their practitioner modifier, although some monsters can use a practitioner modifier gained from class levels or under special circumstances. Examples include fey creatures potentially using their Charisma as their practitioner modifier or particularly bulky monsters using their Constitution, such as giants. GMs should be careful when selecting a practitioner modifier as monster stat blocks tend to have higher attributes to compensate for not having items or class features.

Monster Practitioners: Challenge Rating as a Benchmark

Challenge Rating (or “CR”) is a guideline for the appropriate strength of an encounter, including factors such as total hit points, armor class, damage output, and other abilities. Comparing against other creatures with a CR close to how difficult you want the encounter to be helps balance your encounter.

When adding Spheres of Might to an already built creature, or creating a monster stat block from scratch, consider how the monster uses its talents and compare it against creatures with similar CR and tactics. A regular bear is a deadly grappler and a capable full-attacking combatant and can deal a large amount of damage. If building a practitioner bear with Spheres of Might, instead of relying on the full-attack action, granting access to the Wrestling sphere for expanded grappling options and the Berserker sphere for berserking and brutal strike and grant the practitioner bear more varied combat decisions and abilities compared to a normal bear relying on the full-attack action.

Adding combat training or combat talents to a monster can be comparable to a +0, +1, or +2 CR adjustment after considering that monster’s statistics, resources, and other abilities. A monster built from scratch that relies on its combat talents will likely be a lower CR than a comparable monster that is given additional combat talents on top of its normal resources. Monsters can also gain monster traditions (Spheres of Might pg. 193) by trading feats or taking a +1 CR adjustment. In some situations, it is appropriate to grant a monster tradition for free to help balance a monster against your players.

Monster Practitioners: Combat Training and Talents

Much like how a practitioner class grants a combat training progression similar to the class’s base attack bonus, monsters being built using Spheres of Might can generally follow the same rule. The following section provides tips for creating a monster practitioner.

Practitioner Modifier and Calculate Practitioner DC

Choose the monster’s practitioner modifier if the monster has a reason to use an attribute other than Wisdom. Be careful that their practitioner DCs are not too high. Monsters tend to have more attributes, and more Hit Dice, to compensate for their lack of class features or items. Adjusting the creature’s base statistics helps the final stat block not be overwhelming.

Talents and Abilities

Choose talents and abilities for the monster to use and look to create synergies or further a strategy. Some universal monster rules and abilities can be strong, and pairing them with talents can be used to create powerful creatures. For example, the pounce universal monster ability is a deadly option for full-attacking martials and may be too strong when combined with the versatility granted by combat talents. Deciding which are appropriate for the stat block can help create balanced, interesting, and fun encounters.

Combat Progression by Creature Type

Creature type is closely related to the strengths and specialties of a monster and is a useful guideline when determining that monster’s abilities and statistics. An animal, with 3/4 base attack bonus for its racial Hit Dice, will have less combat talents compared to a magical beast, but may have more raw numbers to back up its strategy where a magical beast may have various magical effects instead.

Table: Creature Type Combat Training can be used as a guideline granting combat training to a monster but is not a hard rule. For example, fey creatures may generally be less martially inclined, tending towards a Proficient progression but more warlike or athletic fey may have an Expert progression.

Table: Creature Type Combat Training

Monsters and Spheres of Power

Whether it is a nymph or lamia producing sphere effects using a casting tradition, or a magical lion with a terrifying roar as a sphere-like ability, deciding how a monster uses magic helps determine what source that monster should receive it from. Monsters using Spheres of Power depend on where and how the magic is gained, detailed in the following section.

Spherecasting Classes

A monster can gain spherecasting by gaining class levels that grant spherecasting, much like building a player character. A good example of a monster that would be granted spherecasting from class levels would be a giant with incanter levels, where most giants generally would not possess racial casting. Granting class levels can be quick and easy access to thematic options and abilities while adjusting the monster to be a higher CR than it otherwise would be.

Monster Spherecasters: Racial Casting

Racial spherecasting is similar to casting granted by a class, but is innate or otherwise unique to that creature. Certain types of monsters, such as fey and various monstrous humanoids like naga and lamia, can gain innate magic that is cast similarly to normal spherecasting. Racial spherecasting should be considered part of that monster’s power budget when considering what types of abilities and effects it has access to, similar to considering resources for a practitioner.

Casting type, Casting Ability Modifier, and Talents

When deciding to add spherecasting to a stat block, consider what its casting tradition and casting ability modifier will be. If your setting uses strict casting traditions, does that monster also use them? How does this creature and how it expresses or manifests its magic fit into your setting, or is it just important that it can cast a fireball? These questions help shape what choices you need to make.

The “default” casting is the Natural casting tradition, with no casting drawbacks or boons, and Charisma as the casting ability modifier. Monsters treat their total racial Hit Dice as their class level when determining how many extra spell points they receive from their casting tradition, and may take boons as normal for a player character. The magic skill bonus (MSB) of racial spherecasting should be equal to the creature’s challenge rating (CR), and treating their Hit Dice as their MSB only in special circumstances. Magic skill defense (MSD) is equal to 11 + MSB. Monsters tend to have more Hit Dice than a stat block made of only class levels, and normalizing MSB and MSD prevents a monster’s effects from being overwhelming.

Creatures with entirely racial Hit Dice tend to have more Hit Dice than a player character. Adjusting how many Hit Dice a creature has to its caster level progression helps normalize how powerful the creature is. Fey are an example of creatures with racial spherecasting who need to be carefully balanced for their role. Fey tend to have more Hit Dice for their CR, and their casting should be balanced against their increased Hit Dice. A fey creature with 35 Hit Dice may be considered a CR 19 threat under some circumstances and granting it high-casting would make it caster level 35. A more casting focused fey may have less Hit Dice compared to a more mixed or martially-inclined fey. Table: Creature Type Racial Spherecasting provides a guideline of what progressions can usually be granted to a creature type.

Table: Creature Type Racial Spherecasting
Creature Type Spherecasting Progression
Aberration Mid-Caster
Animal Low-Caster1
Construct High-Caster
Dragon High-Caster
Fey Mid-Caster
Humanoid Mid-Caster
Magical beast Mid-Caster
Monstrous humanoid Mid-Caster
Ooze Mid-Caster
Outsider Mid-Caster
Plant Mid-Caster
Undead Mid-Caster
Vermin Low-Caster1

1: Animals and Vermin will usually have 2 or less Intelligence. While spherecasting may be present on one, it is generally recommended to use sphere-like abilities instead.

Sphere-Like Abilities

Sphere-like abilities represent magical powers that function similarly to spherecasting, but are innate to a creature’s race, borrowed from some higher power, or otherwise different from a creature’s normal spherecasting abilities.

Certain types of monsters, such as magical beasts, tend to have sphere-like abilities instead of “proper” spherecasting. Sphere-like abilities help monsters have access to magic without needing to use the same worldbuilding tools a regular spherecaster might need, such as a setting with very strict requirements on casting traditions that may not fit or make sense for a monster to also use.

How Do Sphere-Like Abilities Work?

A sphere-like ability behaves in many ways like a spell-like ability, except with the following changes:

Effects and Cost: Sphere-like abilities do not cost spell points and are instead usable a number of times each day, or at-will, as indicated by the source of the sphere-like ability. The effects of a sphere-like ability can be made from standard talents, spellcrafted effects, rituals, or even incantations, although most sphere-like abilities use regular talents to determine their effects.

The caster level and magic skill bonus (MSB) of most spherelike abilities are determined by their source, although some sphere-like abilities may have specific caster levels determined by the source. Just like with spherecasting, magic skill defense (MSD) is equal to 11 + MSB. A sphere-like ability granted by a class will have a caster level and MSB equal to the number of levels of the granting class. A sphere-like ability granted naturally to a creature or granted by a template will have a caster level and MSB equal to the resulting challenge rating (CR) of that creature, or by the creature’s Hit Dice if the CR is unable to be calculated.

It is generally advised to not use Hit Dice when determining caster level, MSB, and MSD, as monster stat blocks tend to have much higher Hit Dice compared to the Hit Dice possessed by a player character and can result in sphere-like abilities being wildly more powerful than otherwise intended.

Entries for sphere-like abilities only include the precise effects the creature can use. For example, if a stat block with spherelike abilities says the creature can only use the reanimate ability of the Death sphere, that creature cannot make ghost strikes.

Casting a Sphere-Like Ability: Casting a sphere-like ability is the same as casting a sphere effect. Sphere-like abilities have their own casting tradition as described in their entry. A creature who possesses sphere-like abilities and spherecasting may cast these effects with different drawbacks depending on the traditions each are governed by. If no casting tradition is indicated, a sphere-like ability defaults to the Natural casting tradition, which has no drawbacks or boons and uses Charisma as the casting ability modifier. Casting traditions associated with sphere-like abilities never grant extra spell points or boons.

Converting Spell-Like Abilities to Sphere-Like Abilities

If you are converting an existing monster that has magical abilities and you want to give it sphere-like abilities, use its existing caster level. If you are creating an entirely new creature and there are no sufficiently-similar options to base its power on, the sphere-like ability’s caster level is equal to the creature’s base CR (before adjustments such as PC-level wealth, templates, or mythic powers).

Monsters and Champions

A monster that uses both Spheres of Power and Spheres of Might as a champion can be granted a mix of combat training and spherecasting progressions or spell-like abilities, whatever fits your needs.

When granting a creature both a combat training progression and a spherecasting progression, consider if you want the creature to have the total, combined talents from both halves and whether that will give the monster too many resources or not. If a monster does not need both progressions separately, a blended training progression can be a good solution. Blended training, as a combat or magic talent every increment, can be granted at the greater of the two progressions to help easily allocate talents and effects. A magical beast as a blended training champion could use the Expert combat progression to gain a talent every Hit Dice instead of the Mid-Caster progression’s 3 talents every 4 Hit Dice.


Unchained Monster Creation Rules [3PP]

Source: Expanded Spheres: Baron's Lost Apocrypha

Presented below are a number of new options for creating monsters using the simple monster creation rules outlined in Pathfinder Unchained

Spherecaster Template Graft

Required Array: Spellcaster

In place of Spellcasting, the monster gains a casting tradition and a caster level equal to its CR. The monster gains 2 magic talents from its casting tradition plus an additional magic talent for every point of CR it possesses above 1 (so the creature would have 4 talents at CR 3, 6 at CR 5, etc).

Combat Options

Combat Feats: The monster gains a combat feat, plus an additional combat feat for every 5 points of CR it possess

Practitioner: The monster gains a martial tradition.

Universal Options

Bonus Talents: The monster gains a bonus combat talent, magic talent, or skill talent, plus an additional talent for every 5 points of CR it possesses. This option may be selected multiple times and may be selected in place of a combat option or magic option.

Operative: The monster gains a trade tradition with competent rank. If the monster uses the expert array or this option is selected a second time, the monster is adroit instead of competent rank. This option may be selected up to twice

Secondary Spherecasting: The monster gains a casting tradition and a caster level equal to 1/2 its CR. This option may be selected a second time to improve the caster level to ¾ its CR. This option may be selected in place of Secondary Spellcasting for any templates which grant that option. This option may be selected up to twice


Converting Monsters to Spheres of Power [Cata. HB]

Several of the monster seen here were originally constructed using the typical Pathfinder model of spells and spell-like abilities, but have been reconstructed here to be used with Spheres of Power. The process used with these creatures can be utilized with most any monsters without drastically changing the power level of the creature, utilizing the following guidelines.

Spell-Like Abilities: Each spell-like ability that a creature possesses should be replaced with a single talent or base sphere, often (but not necessarily) corresponding to a spell-like ability that the creature possessed (for example, a hezrou’s blasphemy spell-like ability could be replaced by Enmity from the Fate sphere). Metamagic-altered versions of spell-like abilities (like the quickened dominate person ability of a veiled master) do not count as distinct spell-like abilities for this purpose. If it gains any talents as a result of this, a creature selects a casting tradition and gains two bonus magic talents in addition to any talents exchanged for the spell-like abilities it possesses. The MSB for these abilities is equal to the creature’s caster level before any bonuses from items or feats are applied, while the MSD is equal to the creature’s MSB + 11 (before other modifiers are applied). The creature’s caster level progression is dependent on its creature type (see Table: Racial Caster Level Progression by Creature Type). Other abilities which function similarly to spells (such as the change size ability of an efreet) may be replaced with talents.

Spellcasting: If a creature possesses racial spellcasting (such as a red dragon’s innate sorcerer casting), replace this racial spellcasting with a single magic talent for every level of spellcasting the creature possesses. For example, a veiled master normally possesses spellcasting as a 12th-level sorcerer, so their racial spellcasting would be replaced by 12 talents. If the creature has not already gained a casting tradition from spell-like abilities, it selects a casting tradition and gains two bonus magic talents, calculating MSB, MSD, and caster level as it would with spell-like abilities. Some GMs may wish to grant creatures with racial spellcasting Incarnate Magic as a bonus feat to reflect their superior magical capabilities.

Combat Talents: For some creatures, it may make more sense to replace spells or spell-like abilities with combat talents rather than magic talents. If a creature is proficient with any armor and at least one martial or exotic weapon, it may make sense to give the creature a martial tradition in place of these proficiencies.

Table: Racial Caster Level Progression by Creature Type
Creature Type Caster Level
Aberration CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Animal CL = 1/2 Hit Dice
Construct CL = 1/2 Hit Dice
Dragon CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Fey CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Humanoid CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Magical Beast CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Monstrous Humanoid CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Ooze CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Outsider CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Plant CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Undead CL = 3/4 Hit Dice
Vermin CL = 1/2 Hit Dice

Feats and other Abilities: Many of the feats and other abilities that monsters possess may not be compatible with its new spherecasting abilities and should be replaced with more suitable options.


Monster Feats

The following are feats that can be taken by monsters.

Exalted Among Kin (Monster) [FotC]

Prerequisites: Summon Kin x3, non-native outsider.

Benefit: Rather than picking specific types of creatures, you may use Summon Kin to summon any kind of creature that you could select with that feat. If summoning a creature with fewer Hit Dice than yourself, the chance of success improves to 100%.

Incarnate Magic (Monster) [Cata. HB]

Magical energies flow through your form.

Prerequisites: Spellcasting from racial Hit Dice, magic skill bonus 5.

Benefit: Your caster level derived from your racial Hit Dice increases by 5, to a maximum of your Hit Dice. Increases to caster level from this feat do not increase your MSB or MSD.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time, your caster level from racial Hit Dice increases by an additional 5 (to a maximum of your Hit Dice).

Animal companions, cohorts, Conjuration sphere companions, drake companions, eidolons, familiars, and similar companion creatures (such as from the Conjuration, Beastmastery, or Leadership spheres) cannot select this feat.

Summon Kin (Monster) [FotC]

Prerequisite: Non-native outsider.

Benefit: Choose an kind outsider that shares at least one subtype with you (other than extraplanar or native) and is of the same alignment as you (for example, a gallu demon with this feat could select a marilith demon). At GM discretion, other creatures may be selected with this feat. Once per day, you may spend a full-round action to attempt to summon that creature.

The odds of success on this summon depend on the Hit Dice of the creature in relation to your own (see Table: Summon Kin Success Rate to determine the chance of successfully summoning the creature when you use this ability). Every time you gain a level, you may change the type of outsider that you may summon with this feat. This summon is considered a Conjuration sphere effect with a caster level equal to your Hit Dice and may be suppressed or dispelled as normal. If you do not have spherecasting, you are considered to have an MSD of 11 + your CR for the purpose of resisting effects which target this summon.

Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time, you may select a different creature that you may summon. This does not grant you additional uses per day of this feat.

Table: Summon Kin Success Rate
Hit Dice of summoned creature % chance of success
Greater than summoner 0% (does not function)
Equal to summoner 20%
1, 2, or 3 fewer than summoner 35%
4+ fewer than the summoner 60%

Summon Kin (Monster, Mythic) [FotC]

Prerequisite: Summon Kin, non-native outsider.

Benefit: You may use Summon Kin three times per day rather than once per day and may do so as a swift action rather than a full-round action. If you spend a point of mythic power when using Summon Kin, you may summon multiple creatures with a single use of this ability so long as their combined CR does not exceed twice your mythic tier.

Varied Breath (Monster) [Origin]

Prerequisites: Artisanal Breath, breath weapon or ability to acquire breath weapon; casting or martial focus.

Benefit: Your breath weapon may be modified by (blast type) talents, the Admixture talent, and the Greater Admixture talent. You use your breath weapon DC for the purpose of determining the DC of any effects from the Destruction sphere applied as part of the breath weapon. If a blast type would use d8s to determine damage, you instead increase the size of all dice used in the breath weapon by 1 step, to a maximum of d12 (1d3->1d4->1d6->d8->d10->d12). If a blast type would use d4s to determine damage, you instead decrease the size of all dice used in the breath weapon by 1 step, to a minimum of d3.

Special: For the purpose of using this feat, you may substitute your Hit Dice for your caster level and your practitioner modifier for casting modifier for the purposes of calculating any of its effects, and may take Destruction (blast type) talents as combat talents. If a talent requires you to expend one or more spell points as part of applying a blast type or Admixture, you may instead expend your martial focus and cannot use your breath weapon again for 4 additional rounds per spell point ignored.

Walk The Planar Roads (Monster) [FotC]

Prerequisites: Warp sphere, non-native outsider.

Benefit: When teleporting only yourself and up to 50 lbs. of objects, you gain the benefits of the Distant Teleport, Flawless Teleport, True Teleport, and Unseeing Teleport talents. You are considered to have these talents for the purpose of meeting prerequisites.

Wish Weaver (Monster) [FotC]

Prerequisites: Magic skill bonus +10, non-native outsider.

Benefit: Once per day, in a process that takes 10 minutes, you may perform a ritual with a willing non-outsider creature to duplicate the effects of a wish spell with a caster level equal to your Hit Dice. The wish is based upon the desires of the non-outsider participant, although you are free to interpret the wish in such a way as to further your own goals. After the ritual is completed, the non-outsider participant’s alignment moves one step closer to yours. This ritual may only be performed once with any given combination of outsider and non-outsider participant.

Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time, you may use this feat one additional time per day and may use it an additional time with a single creature.

New Monsters

The following creatures are new creatures that make use of the Spheres of Power system and don't fit on one of the other pages.

Blood Constructs (CR Varies)

All blood constructs gain the following abilities:

Absorb Blood (Su): Whenever a creature taking bleed damage is within the blood construct’s threatened area, the blood construct heals a number of hit points each round equal to the bleed damage taken by the creature. If there are multiple threatened creatures taking bleed damage, the healing does not stack, only the highest value is used.

Blood Mastery (Ex): A blood construct gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if its opponent is taking bleed damage.

Drench (Ex): The construct’s touch puts out non-magical flames of its size or smaller. The creature can dispel magical fire it touches as dispel magic (caster level equals construct’s Hit Dice).

Engulf: As a standard action, the blood construct may move up to its speed and attempt to engulf anything in its path. It cannot make other attacks during a round in which it engulfs. The blood construct merely has to move over its opponents of its size or smaller, affecting as many as it can cover. Targeted creatures can make attacks of opportunity against the blood construct, but if they do so, they are not entitled to a saving throw against the engulf attack. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity can attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Strength modifier) to avoid being engulfed - on a success, they are pushed back or aside (target’s choice) as the blood construct moves forward. Engulfed opponents gain the pinned condition, are in danger of suffocating, are trapped within the blood construct’s body until they are no longer pinned, and take slam damage from the blood construct each round. An engulfed creature may attempt to escape as if escaping a pin.

Fluid Body (Ex): The blood construct can move through an area as small as one-eighth its space without squeezing or one-sixteenth its space when squeezing.

Cloud Sprite (CR 2)

There is some debate about the origin of cloud sprites. Some maintain that they are spontaneously generated by clouds and fog, while others have said that they reproduce as normal creatures. Whatever the case, cloud sprites are secretive, skittish creatures that do not make themselves available for questioning on the subject. When they perceive a threat, they almost invariably disappear into their misty environment, becoming invisible. Only when protecting something of value to them or if their invisibility is penetrated do they unleash miniature lightning bolts on predators or enemies.

Cloud Meld (Su) While in an area of Precipitation of severity level 2 or above, a cloud sprite may turn invisible, as the spell greater invisibility, as a free action. This lasts as long as the cloud sprite remains within Precipitation of severity level 2 or higher, or until it uses a free action to end this ability. While invisible, creatures using unusual forms of sensory perception such as blindsight or tremorsense cannot automatically foil the cloud sprite’s use of Stealth; such creatures must attempt a Perception check as normal to detect it, though the cloud sprite does not gain a bonus to its check for being invisible.

Crystal Golem (CR 7)

A crystal golem is a humanoid-shaped collection of ever growing, splitting, and shifting crystals, dividing any light that shines upon them into an ever-shifting pattern of colors. It has no possessions and no weapons. A crystal golem stands 8 feet tall and weighs 800 pounds.

A crystal golem cannot speak, although it can emit crashing and grinding noise. It moves with a constant snapping and cracking as it the crystals about its joints break and reform.

Immunity to Magic (Ex) A crystal golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

  • An attack that deals sonic damage deals 50% more damage.
  • A crystal blast from the Destruction sphere heals the crystal golem for a number of hit points equal to the damage that would have been dealt. A crystal golem can only heal a number of hit points per day up to its maximum hit points in this way.

Cù-sìth (CR 10)

The cù-sìth (plural coin-sìth) is the psychopomp of Faerie. Tasked with ensuring that the dead do not rise, they are typically seen as heralds of doom. Coin-sìth will usually begin combat by using their baleful howl ability. Then they will harry their foe with Spring Attack, tripping them and ensuring they cannot retaliate. When fighting alongside other coin-sìth, they will focus on a single foe until it is no longer a threat. Once it has collected a soul with its psychopomp ability, a cù-sìth will typically attempt to flee to a barrow where they can ensure the dead will not rise.

Languages Common, Sylvan
SQ barrowwalk, fey power, scent

Special Abilities
Baleful Howl (Su) As a standard action, the cù-sìth can release a howl of ill omen. All enemies within 60 ft. take a -4 penalty to saves against curse and death effects and against the cù-sìth’s psychopomp ability, as well as a -4 penalty to AC. These penalties last for 5 rounds. These penalties are reduced to -1 and last only a single round with a successful Will save (DC 23). This is a sonic curse effect.

Barrowsight (Su) A cù-sìth can constantly see the state of living and undead creatures within 60 feet. This functions as the lifesense option of the Advanced Alternate Divinations advanced Divination talent, but functions for undead creatures as well as the living.

Barrowwalk (Su) As a full-round action, the cù-sìth can teleport as if using the Flawless Teleport Warp talent, but can only teleport to and from barrows, cairns, graveyards, and other final resting places. It need not know exactly where there is a burial site and may specify direction and distance to teleport, arriving at the nearest such site. The cù-sìth cannot transport any other creatures with this ability, but it can bring any objects it carries, up to its maximum load.

Fey Power (Su) The cù-sìth adds its Charisma bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, CMB, and CMD.

Ghostly (Su) Attacks against a cù-sìth have a 20% miss chance. This is bypassed by ghost touch weapons and incorporeal creatures.

Soul Shepherd (Su) When a cù-sìth reduces a creature to 0 hit points or lower with its bite attack, the creature must succeed at a DC 25 Will save or die and have its soul collected by the cù-sìth. A creature killed outright by the cù-sìth’s attack also has its soul collected by the cù-sìth with no save. When the cù-sìth collects a soul in this manner, it gains 5 temporary hit points and a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength, and the creature cannot be returned to life by any effect short of miracle or wish, nor can their body be raised as undead. The only way to prevent this permanent rest and return the victim to life without such a powerful effect is to kill the cù-sìth or persuade it to return the soul before it next uses its barrowwalk ability—a prospect which is highly unlikely.

Silence (Su) The cù-sìth is constantly surrounded by a 20-foot radius sphere of silence, as the option of the Suppression Illusion talent. It does not impede the cùsìth’s baleful howl ability.

Special Abilities
Devouring Darkness (Su) A devouring hole can create or dismiss an area of darkness within its extradimensional space as a free action. This darkness is augmented with a more potent version of the Hungry Darkness talent, inflicting 2 points of Constitution damage per round to targets that have been swallowed, grappled, or successfully struck with a bite attack. A creature can not be affected by devouring darkness more than once in a round.

Extradimensional Gullet (Su) A devouring hole can swallow a creature it is grappling and hold it inside its extradimensional space. This functions as the swallow whole special ability, except that it can swallow a creature up to its own size and the victim can not cut its way free, though it can escape through a successful grapple check. If the devouring hole is killed with a creature inside its extradimensional gullet that creature is shunted out into the nearest open space.

Nothing to See Here (Ex) A devouring hole functions in all ways as a normal portable hole when not feeding, and interacts with a bag of holding as would a normal portable hole under all circumstances. When not active, a DC 32 Spellcraft check is required to distinguish a devouring hole from a portable hole.

Dewdrop Fairy Swarm (CR 4)

Individually, dewdrop fairies are all but harmless to larger creatures. Unarmored, wielding makeshift weapons of cold iron, and utterly diminutive, they are easily swept aside by most opponents. In massive swarms, however, they can kill by a thousand tiny cuts. Unfortunately, they lack any sort of discipline or even an attention span to speak of, and so tend to haphazardly attack whichever enemy is closest or attracts their ire. Dewdrop fairies become violent for a number of reasons.

They are often conscripted by more powerful fey who arm them with nails or shards of cold iron so they can become a whirlwind of death for rival fey. They are also known to protect magic-rich territories on instinct and are particularly intent on putting out fires that threaten their demesnes. Their definition of “threaten”, however, is quite broad as they have a hard time distinguishing between the threat of a mad wizard flinging fireballs into dry undergrowth and a small, carefully built campfire.

Special Abilities
Shards of Iron (Ex) The crude weapons wielded by the dewdrop fairies in the swarm allow its swarm damage to count as cold iron for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. These weapons are extremely rough and, if wielded by a Diminutive creature, count as improvised piercing weapons that deal 1 damage. This small amount of cold iron is typically the only thing of value carried by the swarm’s members.

Drench (Ex) Any non-magical flames within the dewdrop fairy swarm’s space at the end of its move are immediately extinguished. As a free action the dewdrop fairy swarm may attempt a magic skill check to dispel any magical flames (as the Counterspell feat) within the swarm’s space at the end of its turn. It takes no damage for entering any flames it extinguishes.

Rain Dance (Ex) When using its control weather ability to create or alter Precipitation, a dewdrop fairy swarm may concentrate on the effect as part of a move action used to move.

Elusa Hound, Sibyl (CR 3)

The sibyl elusa hounds are favored by inquisitors and investigators alike, who utilize these magical beasts to track down cultists, renegade mages, and other spellcasters deemed a threat to society. Compared to the common elusa hound (Tome of Horrors Complete, pg 271), the sibyl variety are less intelligent and physically weaker. To make up for this, the sibyl elusa hounds have magic-resistant hides that help defend them from their inevitable prey.

The aura must be fresh (“tasted” within the last 2 hours) or the elusa hound does not gain this bonus.

Detect Spellcaster (Su) Sibyl elusa hounds have a supernatural sense of smell which functions as the Divination sphere talent Detect Spellcaster, except that it is a sense with a range of medium (counting their Hit Dice as Low-Caster levels for this) and requires no spell points to utilize.

If planted in fertile ground and left undisturbed for 2d6 days, the seed grows into a healthy duplicate of the original ghoran, save that the duplicate may reallocate all of its skill ranks upon sprouting. Once a ghoran expels its seed, it gains 1 negative level, and it dies as soon as its duplicate sprouts. This duplicate replaces the previous ghoran character.

Light Dependent (Ex) Ghorans take 1d4 points of Constitution damage each day they go without exposure to sunlight.

Mau (CR 20)

Mau are the mummified remains of a beloved housecat inhabited by a spirit of Law. Typically found guarding the tomb of their former master from those who would dare violate it, they have the ability to raise undead servants as well as to enter combat themselves in a flurry of claws and teeth. Though they will typically try to avoid combat by warning away intruders, they also readily attack those who persist. Mau begin combat by transforming into either a lion or a dire lion and using a quickened ranged ghost strike. Then they will pounce, using Mystic Assault to replace a claw attack with another ghost strike. They typically reserve their breath weapon for when they are near a cluster of weak enemies.

Mau (CR 20)

Special Abilities
Breath Weapon (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds a mau can release a 15-foot long cone of desiccating sand and salt. This does 10d4 slashing damage and 8d4 untyped damage and fatigues all within the area. A successful Reflex saving throw halves the slashing damage and a successful Fortitude saving throw negates the untyped damage and fatigue (DC 30).

Leonine Form (Su) As a standard action, a mau can take the form of a housecat, a lion, or a dire lion. This functions as the Alteration sphere shapeshift ability, using the Blank Transformation and the following traits:

  • Housecat: no traits
  • Lion: Large size (+10 Str, –6 Dex, +2 Con; +3 CMB; –3 attack, CMD, and AC), grab, pounce, land speed (100 ft.)
  • Dire lion: Huge size (+14 Str, –8 Dex, +4 Con; +4 CMB; –4 attack, CMD, and AC), grab, pounce, land speed (100 ft.)

The mau can remain in any of these forms indefinitely and always gains a +10 bonus to Disguise to appear to be the animal whose form it has taken. This is a polymorph effect, the mauloses access to its breath weapon while transformed. It may use this ability at will.

Perfect Order (Su) A mau adds its Wisdom modifier to its AC.

Raised to Serve While not strictly undead, mau do share some of their traits. They are immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), bleed, death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, stunning, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless). Any effect that explicitly affects undead in addition to the living, like Divine Force, affects mau, but effects that only affect undead, like Command Undead, do not. Unlike other native outsiders, mau are not affected by raise dead, reincarnate, resurrection, true resurrection, or any Life sphere talents that would return it to life unless enhanced with Esoteric Healing. Usually it takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, miracle, or wish to restore a mau to life. Despite being native outsiders, mau do not breathe, eat, or sleep.

Menehune (CR 1/2)

Peaceful island dwellers, menehune are seldom violent unless pressed. When threatened, they prefer to use their friendship arrows to make peace. Normally exclusive, those that know how to contact them and offer their favorite foods (fish and bananas) can sometimes get them to apply their impressive speed in construction projects. Areas with menehune are known to sprout temples, ponds, and other construction overnight. Despite this, they rarely build such things for themselves and prefer to live away from others, moving away from any area that becomes significantly settled.

Special Abilities
Friendship Arrows (Su) When a menehune fires an arrow from any bow, it can change the arrow into a charm arrow as part of making the attack. A menehune can do this a number of times per day equal to its Charisma score (usually 15). The arrow does not damage and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Will save or have its attitude toward the menehune shift to friendly as an instantaneous effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Rapid Construction (Ex) When constructing buildings, mines, tunnels, ditches, etc., a menehune performs the work of 10 normal humans.

Nymph, Wyrgrove (CR 5)

There are told tales of a beauty so great that those who behold her may be struck blind. The wyrgrove nymph is not only a threat to those that behold her grace, but also to those who mean her ill well, for she has nature at her disposal.

Special Abilities
Blinding Beauty (Su) This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a nymph. Those who look directly at a nymph must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be blinded permanently. A nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Spell Points A wyrgrove nymph gains a small reservoir of energy that it can call upon to create wondrous effects, called a spell pool. This pool contains a number of spell points equal to its racial Hit Dice + its Charisma modifier.

Spheres and Talents A wyrgrove nymph uses sphere and talent abilities as a High-Caster, with a caster level and a number of talents equal to its racial Hit Dice. Wyrgrove nymphs do not naturally possess a casting tradition, but they may gain one if they gain class levels in a casting class.

Stunning Glance (Su) As a standard action, a nymph can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Unearthly Grace (Su) A nymph adds her Charisma modifier as a racial bonus on all her saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to her armor class and CMD.

Wild Empathy (Su) This works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except the nymph has a +6 racial bonus on the check. The nymph’s effective druid level is equal to her Hit Dice for determining her total modifier to the check.

Omnimentals (CR Varies)

Omnimentals are a planar oddity, forming from the clashing energies in locations where the elemental planes intersect. This makes their formation a rare occurrence, however skilled mages may create them from the fused essences of more common elementals. They are therefore most commonly found as servants and guardians of the mages that create them. Creatures with elemental subtypes tend to dislike them due to the mingling of opposed natures.

In combat, omnimentals prefer to skirmish, weakening their enemy with blasts from range before closing in to finish them off with Energy Strike-enhanced slams.

Statistics
Str 12, Dex 1, Con 16, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1
Base Atk +0; CMB +1; CMD 6

Special Abilities
Emotional Touch (Su) Humoral oozes impact the emotions of those in contact with them. This is a mind-affecting emotion ability and requires at least one round of contact and ends one round after contact ceases; brief contact such as from an unarmed strike is insufficient. Most casters that keep humoral oozes as familiars allow the ooze to ride on their shoulder, in a pocket, or another location that maintains contact.

There are four types of humoral oozes, each one with a different effect:

  • Choleric - Creatures touching the ooze are on edge, prone to anger, leaving them unwilling to listen to others, causing the DC of Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks made against them increased by 2, +1 for every 5 Hit Dice of the creature.
  • Melancholic - Creatures touching this ooze grow depressed and gloomy, though since things cannot get any worse, they press on, gaining a +2 morale bonus on saves that would cause the paralyzed or slow conditions.
  • Phlegmatic - Creatures touching the ooze are inclined to move slowly, and gain a +2 morale bonus on saves vs. mind-affecting abilities.
  • Sanguine - Creatures touching the ooze become hopeful and optimistic; once per minute as a free action that can be taken even when it is not its turn, the creature can grant itself a +2 morale bonus on an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check.

Fluid (Ex) The humoral ooze can move through an area as small as one-quarter its space without squeezing or one-eighth its space when squeezing.

Ecology
Environment any underground
Organization solitary, pair, or coagulum (3-5)
Treasure none

Familiar
A humoral ooze may be taken as a familiar. The master of a humoral ooze familiar gains a +2 bonus on Heal checks. A humoral ooze familiar may be replaced by taking 1 point of Constitution damage per two levels (minimum 1) instead of paying 100 gp per level.

Primal Elementals (CR Varies) [Warden]

Unlike most elementals that exist on various elemental planes, primal elementals are creatures that embody an aspect of nature, and are typically created or spontaneously birthed from the world itself to act as guardians and defenders of the natural world. These elementals always appear to be made up of plantlife, although the nature of this plantlife always depends on the facet of nature it was created from: for example, a primal elemental created from the remains of a wildfire may be composed of charred wood and burning embers, whereas one created from the sea would be made up of silt, seaweed and coral.

Despite usually only encompassing one essence of nature, there have been primal elementals known to encompass two or more essences of nature, being made up of mud, lightning, etc. All primal elementals gain the following abilities:

Innately Magical (Su): A primal elemental is a creature of nature, possessing partial dominion over the very element that composes itself. Primal elementals gain the Nature sphere with the package most closely associated with its elemental nature. A primal elemental is considered a Low-Caster, possessing both a number of magic talents and a caster level equal to 1/2 its Hit Dice. This counts as having the casting class feature for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites for feats. These talents may only be spent gaining talents associated with its Nature package or (spirit) talents. They also possess a spell pool with a number of spell points equal to its caster level + its Constitution modifier.

Primal Essence (Su): A primal elemental is the pure manifestation of nature in its wildest form. Typically thought to be wardens of a certain aspect of nature, these elementals can vary as greatly in appearance as they can their power and disposition.

  • Air: Composed largely of thin and wispy plantlife that shakes to an ever-present wind, these elementals are largely known for their lithe appearance and calm demeanours. Air-based primal elementals gain the Auran language, a 60 feet fly speed (perfect maneuverability), sonic resistance 10 + their Hit Dice, and a +2 bonus to Dexterity. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect air elementals also affect air-based primal elementals.
  • Earth: Made up of large chunks of rock, earth, fungi and roots, these elementals are commonly the largest among all types of primal elementals, usually acting as immovable vanguards and defenders of caves and caverns. Earth-based primal elementals gain the Terran language, a 30 feet burrow speed, DR 1/adamantine, +1 per 5 Hit Dice, and a +2 bonus to Constitution. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect earth elementals also affect earth-based primal elementals.
  • Fire: Commonly made up of charred wood, singed plants and burning embers, these elementals are known to be the most volatile and dangerous of primal elementals; known to set ablaze small villages that encroach too far into the lands of nature. Fire-based primal elementals gain the Ignan language, fire resistance 10 + their Hit Dice, and deal an additional 1d6 fire damage with their natural attacks. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect fire elementals also affect fire-based primal elementals.
  • Metal: Usually the most varied in appearance, these elementals are usually composed up of ore-riddled stone and rough gemstones, commonly acting as a nuisance for most mining operations that dig too deep. Metal-based primal elementals gain the Aklo language, electricity resistance 10 + their Hit Dice, a +2 natural bonus to AC, +1 per Hit Die, and a +2 bonus to Strength. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect metal or ferrous creatures (such as rusting grasp) also affect metal- based primal elemental.
  • Plant: Made up of thick vines, moss and flowers, these elementals are known to be patient caretakers of nature, usually formed after a great wildfire to return life to what was destroyed. Plant-based elementals gain the Sylvan language, a 30 feet climb speed, acid resistance 10 + their Hit Dice, and a +2 bonus to their CMB when attempting trip and disarm maneuvers. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect creatures with the plant creature type also affect plant-based primal elementals.
  • Water: Made up of dense seaweed, damp driftwood and coral, these elementals are great defenders of rivers and lakes, commonly to defend against pollution and waste that would find its way within them. Water-based elementals gain the Aquan language, a 30 feet swim speed, cold resistance 10 + their Hit Dice, and a +2 bonus to their Dexterity. Spells or abilities that explicitly target or affect water elementals also affect water-based primal elementals.

Raw Magic Elementals (CR+ Varies) [Mana HB]

Hailing from a place more primordial than even the Elemental Planes, raw magic elementals appear as floating clouds glittering in an array of impossible colors. Pure embodiments of raw energy, they are thankfully extremely rare on the Material Plane, only encountered when summoned by practitioners of magic. Even then, most mages prefer using elementals of the classical four elements, since raw magic elemental are all but immune to most of the usual methods of control, making them formidable allies against other magic users, but also lethal adversaries should they slip whatever means of control the original summoner has over them.

All raw magic elementals gain the following abilities:

Bond Happy (Sp): Raw magic elementals with 4 or more Hit Dice can create a manabond as a free action with any creature it hits with its slam attack. It gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for every 3 Hit Dice it possesses against creatures it has an active manabond with, and can make melee attacks against those creatures as if they were in adjacent to it. Raw magic elementals are able to create manabonds as if they possessed every (manabond) talent.

Immunity to Magic (Ex): The elemental is immune to spells, spell-like abilities or sphere effects that allow spell resistance. Certain spells and effects function differently against it, as noted below:

The elemental is vulnerable to antimagic. It can be targeted by effects that can attempt to dispel magic (such as the dispel magic spell or the Counterspell feat), using its Hit Dice + 11 as its magic skill defense. A successful dispel attempt deals damage to the elemental equal to 1d10 per Hit Dice it has.

Expunge effects from the Mana sphere can bypass its immunity to magic, and additionally slow the elemental (as per the Improved Slow talent from Time sphere) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw.

Manipulation effects from the Mana sphere bolster the elemental, negating the effect but immediately healing it as per the Mana Fueled ability, and causing the elemental to become hasted (as per the Improved Haste talent from the Time sphere) for 3 rounds.

Mana Fueled (Su): Raw magic elementals with 4 or more Hit Dice are fueled directly by magical energies. If the creature is targeted by or moves onto a magical effect with a caster level equal to or lower than its Hit Dice, it is immediately subject to a Counterspell effect (as the Counterspell feat), using the elemental’s Hit Dice as its magic skill bonus, with an additional +4 racial bonus. If the effect is dispelled, the elemental heals 2 hit points per caster level the effect had

Rot Grub Swarm, Apocalypse (CR 15)

Rot grub are deadly, as are swarms, and rot grub swarms are a terrible thing to come across. Yet woe be unto the adventurer who stumbles into the path of an apocalypse rot grub swarm. These collectives of vermin, while rare are most often seen at a distance days or weeks after a terrible battle, especially if no effort was made to properly lay to rest the fallen and deceased.

Statistics
Str 23, Dex 19, Con 33, Int -, Wis 22, Cha 13
Base Atk +10; CMB +8; CMD 22

Special Abilities
Distraction (Ex) A creature with this ability can nauseate the creatures that it damages. Any living creature that takes damage from a creature with the distraction ability is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save (DC 28) negates the effect.

Infestation (Ex) Any living creature that takes damage from a rot grub swarm becomes infested unless it succeeds at a DC 28 Reflex save. On a failed save, the infested creature takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage per round as the rot grubs burrow through and consume its flesh—this effect continues as long as the victim remains in the swarm and continues for 1d6 rounds after it leaves the swarm. Any energy-based attack (including damage from negative energy) that deals at least 5 points of damage to the victim automatically destroys all of the rot grubs infesting it, ending the effect prematurely. Additionally, any effect that removes disease instantly ends a rot grub infestation. Immunity to disease offers no defense. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Swarm Traits
The relevant swarm traits are as follows:

  • Swarms are immune to flanking, critical hits, and all weapon damage
  • Reducing a swarm to 0 hit points or less breaks it up, but otherwise has no effect until that time.
  • Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage.
  • Swarms cannot be tripped, grappled or bull-rushed; nor can swarms grapple an opponent.
  • Swarms are immune to spells and sphere effects that targets a specific number of creatures.
  • Swarms take half again (+50%) more damage from spells or effects that target an area.
  • Swarms do not make standard attacks, instead they deal automatic damage to any creature whose space they occupy at the end of their move.
  • Swarms are not subject to miss chance for concealment or cover.
  • Swarm attacks are non-magical unless stated otherwise. Swarms do not threaten creatures and do not make attacks of opportunity with their swarm attack.
  • Creatures using sphere abilities within the area of a swarm requires a caster level check (DC 20 + 1/2 the creature’s caster level).
  • Using skills that require patience or concentration requires a DC 20 Will save.

Samsaran, Sibyl (CR 1/2)

Unlike most samsaran who have blue skin, those of the sibyl variety have a magenta epidermis. Those samsaran who are born with such an unusual quality are usually shunned into the harsh wilderness where they find clans of other sibyl, learn to inhabit the wasteland, or else they die. The age at which a sibyl is to be shunned or undergo dur-rahana, is different for each samsaran community. While savage tribal samsaran may leave a newborn sibyl in the wilderness, not days after its birth, other tribes may wait till the coming of age before sending the individual on its way; samsaran who live in civilized cities do not so frequently force a dur-rahana upon a sibyl, but the sibyl is likely to leave on its own regardless upon becoming an adult if not sooner.

Treant, Wyrgrove (CR 10)

Wyrgrove treants, like other treants are shepherds of the forest, but with their increased nature magic to aid them, they are even more deadly to those who cross paths with them. To those who have little experience when it comes to these towering treefolk, the sphere treants and the common treant are almost indistinguishable which has on occasion led to the topic of conversation when two individuals encounter varying types of treant.

Special Abilities
Detect Scrying (Ex) The typhloter assailant has an extraordinary sense which functions as the Divination sphere power with the same name, except that it requires no spell points to utilize.

No Breath (Ex) The typhloter assailant does not breathe, and is immune to effects that require breathing (such as inhaled poison). This does not give immunity to cloud or gas attacks that do not require breathing.

Non-Euclidean (Ex) The typhloter assailant does not exist wholly in the physical world, and space and time strain against its presence. This grants the typhloter assailant a deflection bonus to AC and a racial bonus on Reflex saves equal to its Charisma modifier (+11). Its apparent and actual position are never quite the same, granting it a 50% miss chance against all attacks. Divination spells or sphere abilities can defeat this miss chance, but any creature that looks upon a typhloter assailant while under the effects of a divination spell or sphere ability must succeed at a DC 36 Will save or be afflicted by a random insanity for the Gamemastery Guide (this is a mind-affecting effect). The save DC is Charisma-based (10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Charisma modifier).

Starflight (Su) A typhloter assailant can survive in the void of outer space. It flies through space at an incredible speed. Although exact travel times vary, a trip within a single solar system should take 3d20 hours, while a trip beyond should take 3d20 days (or more, at the GM’s discretion)—provided the typhloter assailant knows the way to its destination.

Tendrils The fluorescent tendrils which protrude from its head shift its hue from one glowing colour to the next. Each time that a tendril strikes a creature, roll a d6 to determine which ability score is damaged. 1-Strength (orange), 2-Dexterity (green), 3-Constitution (red), 4-Intelligence (yellow), 5-Wisdom (blue), 6-Charisma (purple).

Typhloter Enforcer (CR 15)

The typhloter enforcer has an urchin cube-like appearance. Enforcers have a colossal eyeless body covered in a carapace of spines and sports six tentacles (one per side) which it uses to pull its prey into its toothy maw which protrudes from any one of its corners. The enforcer relies on brute force and grappling to take down those it hunts.

Typhloter Nadir (CR 5)

The typhloter nadir has a starfish like appearance with 6 appendages covered in suction cups spread out evenly from its centered toothy maw. It moves through the void much like a jellyfish does the sea, slowly and seemingly without purpose. While the nadir is in the void, it emits a blinding glow which seems to pulse light, often attracting the attention of those who divine the stars and heavens for answers.

Unlike full starflight, a typhloter nadir’s ability to fly in outer space does not allow it to reach unusual speeds.

Typhloter Vanguard (CR 10)

The typhloter vanguard is a gargantuan floating orb with barbed tendrils that hang below it. These six tendrils are thin and razor sharp along their sides and are used to cleave to and attach themselves to any unfortunate soul that find themselves beneath it.

Cat Familiars

This section contains 2 new magical cats which may be selected as familiars with the Improved Familiar feat or other similar options.

The requirements to select a long cat or small cat as an improved familiar are repeated here:

  • Long Cat; requires arcane caster level 3rd, any alignment; grants master +3 Escape Artist and bonuses vs. enemies with reach.
  • Small Cat; requires arcane caster level 3rd, any alignment; grants master +3 Stealth and bonuses vs. larger enemies.

Long Cat (CR 2) [Catgirl HB]

This sleek-coated feline seems to stretch and wiggle through obstacles and around corners. When held aloft, their lower body remains on the ground, stretching oddly.

Feats Stealthy, Weapon Finesse

SQ compression, very long

Special Abilities
Noodlin’ (Ex): By being very long, the long cat can twist and bend around. A long cat may make an additional attack of opportunity each round. In addition, whenever the long cat is targeted by an attack, the long cat may spend an immediate action to make an Acrobatics check. The long cat may use the result of this check as their AC or touch AC against that attack. The long cat must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.
Very Long (Ex): A long cat is able to stretch itself to be incredibly long, almost fantastically so. The long cat treats any fall less than 20 feet as being 0 feet and is treated as always standing on solid ground if within 20 feet of a platform or solid ground (such as determining whether an earth elemental’s earth mastery would apply against the long cat). The long cat otherwise moves normally and occupies squares normally (e.g. a long cat being held above a platform would not be treated as being airborne, but is not actually on that platform). In addition, the long cat may stretch around corners and objects. The long cat may view or interact with any space within its natural reach so long as there is an area to move through (including with the compression ability). This is represented by the long cat’s reach with their claw natural attacks. If a long cat gains additional Hit Dice, this ability’s range increases by +5 feet for every 4 Hit Dice the long cat possesses past 4 (e.g. 25 feet with 8 Hit Dice).

Environment temperate and hot plains or urban
Organization solitary, pair, pack (3-12)

Description
The long cat is a strange, slinky cat which seems to bend around corners and through barriers – the normal proclivities of a cat on full display. In most other regards, the long cat is nearly identical to a common house cat but its ability to stretch and “noodle” around obstacles garnered the attention of feline- appreciating wizards who value them as handy lookouts and retrievers.

Familiar
A 3rd-level spellcaster of any alignment with the Improved Familiar feat can gain a long cat as a familiar. A long cat’s master gains a +3 bonus to Escape Artist and also grants the master a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by opponents not adjacent to the master (such as an attack made with a reach weapon).

Template: Long Feline (CR +1)

The properties of a long cat are unique but are occasionally found amongst other feline animals and magical beasts. A “long feline” is an inherited template that can be added to any suitable animal or magical beast with claw attacks. A long feline uses the base creature’s stats and abilities except as noted here.

Challenge Rating: As the base creature +1.

Type: The creature’s type changes to magical beast (augmented). Do not recalculate BAB, saves, or skills.

Senses: A long feline gains darkvision with a range of 60 feet.

Hit Dice: Change all racial Hit Dice to d10s. Class Hit Dice are unaffected.

Special Abilities: The creature gains the noodlin’ and very long abilities of a long cat. The very long ability increases the base creature’s natural reach with their claw attack by +20 feet + 5 feet for every 4 Hit Dice after 4 the base creature possesses, which also determines the range of very long’s other effects.

Ability Scores: +4 Dex.

Small Cat (CR 2) [Catgirl HB]

This seemingly normal house cat can be observed seamlessly shifting between
a lap cat and massive predator, reaching places other smaller cats
might be incapable of.

Skills Acrobatics +18, Climb +2, Perception +8, Stealth +15; Racial Modifiers +8 Acrobatics, +4 Climb, +4 Stealth

Special Abilities
Not So Small (Su): The small cat, despite its name, is a fierce and skilled size changer. As a standard action, the small cat may change sizes. A small cat’s normal resting size is Tiny, but it may enlarge itself to a maximum of size Large. For each size larger than Tiny a small cat becomes, it gains a +2 size bonus to its Strength score and DR 2/slashing. This ability is a polymorph effect.

Ecology
Environment temperate and hot plains or urban
Organization solitary, pair, pack (3-12)
Treasure none

Description
The small cat, despite the name, is a supernaturally empowered common house cat with potent access to shape changing capabilities. This has led to the small cat developing a unique niche in urban areas, serving as not only loyal pets, but signs of social status for carriages and mounted entourages. A small cat has many of the same capricious tendencies a normal cat would display, emboldened by their increased strength and ability to reach heights and open normally protected spaces with a sudden burst of strength and size. The owner of a small cat’s worries are often not about what the small cat might knock off a table, but rather that the whole table be upended to the small cat’s amusement.

Familiar
A 3rd-level spellcaster of any alignment with the Improved Familiar feat can gain a small cat as a familiar. A small cat’s master gains the normal familiar special ability bonus granted by a cat (+3 to Stealth) and also grants a +1 bonus on attack rolls made against creatures larger than the master (such as a Medium-sized master attacking a Huge-sized dragon).
