either their own kind or any other. Aneishi are
somewhat cold and distant even from their own
emotions; they seem to feel hates and loves less
strongly than most other intelligent creatures, and
are virtually immune to fear. The Aneishi
have a complex social structure, a
web of elaborate, long-distance
dominance games and social
plays, but this is imperceptible
to other races because it comes
into play only when a pair of
Aneishi chance to meet. Both the
Aneishi’s solitary lifestyle and the
elaborate society it masks lead most
Aneishi to be taciturn. When an
Aneishi speaks, he does so because
he has to - and even then, his words
are often many-layered in cryptic
meanings and implications. Few
non-Aneishi can tolerate this behavior,
much less comprehend it, which only
serves to reinforce the creatures’ reti-
cence.

Physical Description:
The Aneishi resemble anthropomor-
phic spiders. They have only two arms
and two legs, but their bodies are covered with a
sturdy brownish carapace and short, bristly hairs,
and their faces are more arachnid than humanoid.

Religion: Aneishi Racial Traits

Unlike the other First Ones, the Aneishi pay
no homage to the blood god Khayne and his
dreadful clergy. Aneishi have few, if any, clerics;
their religion is maintained by their druids, whose
wanderings in the deepest wilderness have lain
bare nature’s darkest secrets. Aneishi of all
professions honor the druids, who hold high posi-
tions in the ephemeral social web of their race,
but they do not give them offerings or sacrifices;
the druids, even more than other Aneishi, are
expected to fight to survive.
Language:
Aneishi speak their own language, a complex
series of clicks and hisses given context by an
equally elaborate array of gestures and phero-
mones; humanoids can at best approximate this
method of communication. Aneishi dislike
learning other languages, but those who regularly
deal with the other First Ones generally speak
Exodite, and some few know Common.
Names:
Aneishi have no names of their own. They refer
to each other by terms of rank, and even these are
only relative to the other Aneishi around them.
Aneishi who deal with outsiders usually acquire
names or nicknames in the local language,
although they use them only to placate their
allies.

• +4 Dex: Aneishi are much more agile and
precise than other humanoids.
• Monstrous Humanoid: Aneishi are
Monstrous Humanoids with the First One
subtype. Aneishi are not subject to spells or
effects that affect humanoids only, such as
charm person or dominate person.
• Aneishi base land speed is 30 ft. Aneishi
also have a climb speed of 30 ft.
• Darkvision: Aneishi can see in the dark up
to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white
only, but it is otherwise like normal sight,
and Aneishi can function just fine with no
light at all.
• Climber: Aneishi have a +8 bonus on Climb
checks. They can always choose to take
10 on a Climb check, even if distracted or
threatened.
• Fearless: Aneishi have a +4 racial bonus on
saves against fear.
• Webcasting: An Aneishi can throw a web
three times per day. This is similar to an
attack with a net but has a maximum range
of 30 feet, with a range increment of 10
feet, and is effective against targets of up to
Medium size. The web anchors the target in
place, allowing no movement. An entangled
creature can escape with an Escape Artist
check ((DC 10 + ½ the Aneishi’s character
level + the Aneishi’s Con modifier) or burst
the web with a Strength check ((DC 10 + ½
the Aneishi’s character level + the Aneishi’s
 Con modifier). Both are standard actions.
The web has 6 hit points plus 1 per class
level of the Aneishi and takes double damage
from fire. Aneishi can also create sheets of
sticky webbing from 5 to 60 feet square.
They usually position these to snare flying
creatures but can also try to trap prey on the
ground. Approaching creatures must succeed
on a DC 20 Spot check to notice a web, or
they stumble into it and become trapped as
though by a successful web attack. Attempts
to escape or burst the webbing receive a +5
bonus if the trapped creature has something
to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each
5-foot-square section has 6 hit points, hard-
ness 0, and takes double damage from fire.
An Aneishi can move across its own sheet
web at its climb speed and can determine the
exact location of any creature touching the
web.
• Automatic Languages: Aneishi and Exodite.
Bonus languages: Common, Elven, Goblin,
Khaynite, Sobeka and Sylvan.

powerful than most races.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the
Aneishi Paragon class.
Precognition ((Ex): Aneishi Paragons seem to
possess uncanny awareness of their surround-
ings. An Aneishi Paragon gets an Insight bonus
to Initiative and Reflex saves equal to 1 + his
Wis modifier (if positive). As long as he is able
to use Supernatural (Su) abilities and is wearing
light or no armor, the Aneishi Paragon is treated
as having Uncanny Dodge as the barbarian class
feature.
Dexterity Increase (Ex): An Aneishi Paragon
gets +2 Dex at 2nd level.
Spellcasting: At 2nd level, the Aneishi Paragon
gains new spells per day as if he had also gained
a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to
before adding the prestige class. He does not,
however, gain any other benefit a character
of that class would have gained, except for an
increased effective level of spellcasting. If a char-
acter had more than one spellcasting class before
becoming an Aneishi Paragon, he must decide to
which class he adds the new level for purposes of
determining spells per day.
Improved Precognition (Su): A 3rd level
Aneishi Paragon’s precognitive abilities expand.
In addition to Initiative and Reflex saves, he
gains the (1 + Wis modifier)) Insight bonus to
attack rolls and Armor Class. As long as he is
able to use Supernatural (Su) abilities and is
wearing light or no armor, the Aneishi Paragon
is treated as having Evasion as the monk class
feature.
Exodite
The most human-looking of the First Ones,
Exodites are an ancient race of humanoids who
served as defenders of law - and tyranny - in pre-
human Exodus. While the other First Ones fled
the surface of Exodus entirely, many Exodites
remained, lurking in the shadows to which they
are so attuned. Only now, as plans that have
germinated for over a millennia begin to bear
dreadful fruit, have these dangerous beings
emerged into the light to menace the people of
Exodus.
Personality:
Most Exodites are stern, dour and withdrawn.
Their culture places a premium on the search
for personal perfection, and Exodites tend to
consider communicating with the members of
other races - or even each other - a burdensome
break from their disciplines. Exodites acknowl-
edge others only to keep a tally of the offenses
they have committed and the suffering required
to even the scales; an Exodite not engaged in
scheming, practice or meditation usually spends
his time contemplating the litany of woes he
intends to inflict on his enemies.
Alignment:
Because Exodite culture is intensely focused on
self-perfection and discipline, most Exodites are
lawful. Beneath his icy exterior, however, an
Exodite’s soul seethes with volcanic rages and
burning passions. An Exodite is actually more
likely to be chaotic than neutral, for if his disci-
pline slips in the slightest, he will likely give in
to the surging chaos of his inner self. Regardless,
the vast majority of Exodites are inclined by
nature and nurture toward evil.

Physical Description:
Exodites are tall, elegant and muscular human-
oids. Their skin is the color of polished obsidian;
because most constantly hone their bodies
for battle, their flesh is as hard as the rock it
resembles. Exodite eyes are usually also glossy
black, although rare red-, purple- and blue-
eyed Exodites sometimes appear. Exodites are
completely hairless and have elf-like pointed
ears; which many have mistaken them for dark
elves. Exodite culture encourages the creatures
to carve painful but imposing ritual scars in
their bodies; studying an Exodite’s network of
scar tissue tells a trained observer much about
his standing and role. When traveling outside
the domains of the First Ones, Exodites typi-
cally wear heavy, concealing cloaks to hide their
nature. The older and more powerful an Exodite
becomes, the more intense his connection to the
Plane of Shadow grows. Exceptionally powerful
Exodites sometimes appear to be clothed in solid
shadows, and darkness always seems deeper
when it hides an Exodite. Exodites have a much
higher body temperature than most humanoids.

Relations:
Exodites make up the majority of the ‘civilian’
population of the First Ones and have authority
over the servant races of Aneishi and Sobeka,
while themselves serving the enigmatic
Khaynites. Exodites despise any who do not
share their passion for self-perfection; they
consider most of the races of Exodus, including
their subordinates among the First Ones, little
more than beasts. Even their respect for their
Khaynite masters is grudging at best, and many
Exodites see themselves as first among the First
Ones.

4
Exodite Lands:
Exodites encountered in mainland Exodus are
nomads of the shadows, infiltrating the society
of humanoids. In the dark realm where the First
Ones still hold sway, Exodites are everywhere.
They are the main citizens of that bleak demesne,
though outnumbered many times over by the
members of their slave races. Exodites seem
to prefer warm, arid climes to cold or wet ones.
They are equally at home above or below ground.
Religion:
Most Exodites are followers of Khayne, the
blood god of the Khaynites. To the Exodites,
Khayne is less a god of slaughter and sacrifice
and more one of war and dominance. Religious
Exodites believe Khayne is an ascended mortal
and strive to follow his example. However, many
Exodites eschew paying even token respect to the
god of the First Ones; these nihilists believe only
in their own perfection of body and mind, their
only gods those they create of their crude flesh
by incarnate will.
Language:
Exodites speak their own language, which also
serves as the common tongue for the First Ones.
Most Exodites also speak modern Common.
Names:
Exodites do not have clan or family names. An
Exodite receives a personal name shortly after
birth; only if he is accepted into a dojo or the
tutelage of a master is he considered worthy of a
second name.
Male Names: Daak, Kaoth, Maruk, Oroth,
Roath, Thaok.
Female Names: Ara, Kath, Kahsa, Madu, Thaa.
Dojo Names: Aath, Gahta, Naal, Odam, Vaar.
Adventures:
Most Exodites do not ‘adventure’ in the conven-
tional sense. They do, however, complete
missions for their masters, go on journeys of self
discovery, seek worthy foes to challenge, and
hunt offenders to punish. The strange admixture
of the savage and the ascetic that drives a typical
Exodite inclines him to a nomadic existence.
Any adventurers who can bring themselves to
trust an Exodite will find him an extremely valu-
5
The Exodite Bladestaff
Exodites favor a weapon of their own devising,
called the bladestaff. It is not the most powerful
weapon in Exodus, but it is perhaps the most
versatile.
The Exodite bladestaff is a two-hand exotic
double weapon. Its primary claim to fame is that,
by shifting his grip, its wielder can deal slashing,
piercing or bludgeoning damage with either end.
The Exodite bladestaff is a special monk weapon.
Exodites treat it as a martial rather than exotic
weapon, and all Exodites with monk levels are
proficient in its use.
Exodite bladestaves cannot be bought by
outsiders; on the black market, they typically sell
for about 300 gp.

able ally - but to an Exodite, an ‘ally’ is simply a
stepping-stone on the path to self-perfection.
Exodite Racial Traits
• +2 Str, +2 Dex: Exodites are considerably
more physically adept than other races.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, Exodites
have no special bonuses or penalties due to
size.
• First Ones: Exodites are Humanoids with
the First One subtype. Certain spells and
effects affect creatures with this subtype
differently.
• Exodite base land speed is 30 ft.
• Darkvision: Exodites can see in the dark up
to 120 feet. Darkvision is black and white
only, but it is otherwise like normal sight,
and Exodite can function just fine with no
light at all.
• Shadow Affinity: Exodites have a +2 racial
bonus to Hide checks.
• Shadow Jump: Exodites can travel between
shadows as if by means of a dimension door
spell. The limitation is that the magical
transport must begin and end in an area with
at least some shadow. An Exodite can jump
up to a total of 10 feet per level each day in
this way. At higher levels, this amount can
be split among many jumps, but each one, no
 matter how small, counts as a 10-foot incre-
ment.
• Uncanny Agility: Exodites have a +2 racial
bonus to Reflex saves.
• Weapon Familiarity: Exodites treat the
Exodite bladestaff as a martial weapon.
Exodite monks are automatically proficient
with the Exodite bladestaff.
• Automatic Languages: Exodite and
Common. Bonus languages: Cavian,
Cynean, Goblin, Elven, Khaynite.
• Level Adjustment: +1. Exodites are more
powerful than most races.
• Favored Class: Monk. A multiclass
Exodite's monk class does not count when
determining whether he takes an experience
point penalty. Exodites are naturally drawn
to principles of discipline and self-perfection.
Exodite Paragon
Almost all Exodites strive for perfection of the
self - for oneness with the shadows, for mastery
of body and mind.
The Exodite Paragon comes far closer than most
to achieving this goal.
Exodite Paragons focus on what they call the
dual masteries: shadowcrafting to enhance their
stealth and supernatural power, and martial arts
to improve their bodies and lethality. The combi-
nation makes them some of the most dangerous
warriors and assassins on Exodus.
Like Exodites in general, the race’s Paragons are
constantly torn between their quest for domi-
nance of self and world and their servitude to
the more powerful Khaynites; like their lesser
kin, Exodite Paragons tame with iron discipline
the destructive impulses of their nature. These
dichotomies are only heightened in the Exodite
Paragon. He is the most deadly agent of the
First Ones - and hopes to surpass their god. He
is the picture of steely resolve - and contains
within him all-consuming rage. Many Exodites
go mad or perish when they attempt this delicate
balancing act.

Khaynite
The undisputed masters of First One society,
the Khaynites are both a race and a priesthood,
an entire species dedicated to the worship of
the grotesque god of blood, Khayne. Depraved
and sadistic, the Khaynites are also brilliant and
mighty, and to defy their will invites tortures
beyond imagining. The Khaynites have long
desired a return to glory in Exodus, and after two
thousand years of exile, they are prepared to fight
with all their formidable resources to effect that
return.
Personality:
The iconic Khaynite is a cruel, domineering
creature, relishing in his own power no more

master transmutation magic and are
encouraged to experiment upon their
own bodies. Less than half of each
generation of Khaynites reaches
adulthood, but those who do are
the most depraved, ruthless and
talented.

Physical
Description:
Khaynites are basically humanoid,
and may have once been closely
related to humans. They are tall,
often six or seven feet, and their
muscle mass is higher than
normal. Dissolute life leaves many
Khaynites looking more massive
than muscular, but even the
most degenerate possess hidden
reserves of strength - the better to
force physical as well as mental
submission. Most Khaynites
are extremely pale; females in
particular have almost translucent
flesh. Into this flesh, all adult Khaynites
graft an astonishing array of piercings and
stranger decorations, sometimes including
parts of other creatures kept in psuedo-
life by dark magic. Many Khaynites,
particularly those who follow or aspire
to the sanguine path of the race’s most
powerful spellcasters, install spigot-
like piercings directly into their
veins, making bloodcasting rituals
more convenient. In spite of these

7
he tolerate defiance of any kind; the slightest hint
of sarcasm or resentment in a servant earns brutal
retaliation. Only the more numerous exodites,
whose support the Khaynites require, are allowed
the slightest freedom. Khaynites consider the
entire world theirs to do with as they will, and
those regions where their mastery is not acknowl-
edged as provinces in rebellion. In many ways,
they have never adjusted to the loss of their
ancient empire - and, perhaps, never will.
Alignment:
Most Khaynites behave little better than mortal
fiends, indulging in brutal whims and bizarre
passions that rival those of demons. Khaynites
are almost always Chaotic Evil. The few who
do not subscribe to these ways rarely survive to
adulthood.
Khaynite Lands:
Khaynites rule the dark demesne of the First
Ones with an iron fist (sometimes literally),
where they are held in check, if at all, only by
the mass of exodites. Khaynites care nothing
for climate or terrain. A cave, a mountain, a
forest, a coast - all are the same to a Khaynite, as
long as he can claim total control over them. To
Khaynites, the whole of Exodus and beyond are
‘Khaynite lands.’
Religion:
The twisted religion of the Khaynites is central to
their culture. Even the name of their race comes
from Khayne, the blood god of Exodus, who,
the Khaynites believe, created them to be the
earthly vessels of his power. In essence, all adult
Khaynites - excepting the rare renegade - are
priests of Khayne, though not all are divine spell-
casters. Individual Khaynites conduct their own
rituals - and bloody rituals they are, involving
the sacrifice of countless slaves and captives.
There is no formal hierarchy in Khaynite reli-
gion; power shifts are constant and violent.
Khaynites also control the broader Brotherhood
of Khayne, the humanoid clergy of which
secretly, and in most cases unwittingly, learn
from and subordinate themselves to Khaynite
masters. The Khaynites do not spread their faith
in the hopes of attracting converts; they consider
themselves the only true vessels for Khayne’s
power, with all other ‘worshippers’ being merely
deluded pawns.
8
Language:
Khaynites speak their own language, a deriva-
tion of Abyssal, which is also the language of
their pawn-priests in the Brotherhood of Khayne.
Most also speak Exodite and either Sobeka
or Common, and many know other languages
besides. Khaynites tend to have deep, powerful
voices due to their large frames.
Names:
Khaynites deride such fripperies as family ties
as signs of weakness. Instead of names devoted
to clan, family or affiliation, Khaynites are
given one personal name at birth and acquire
more by killing or subjugating other Khaynites.
Most Khaynites emerge from childhood with
between two and four names, often those given to
siblings they betrayed and murdered. A Khaynite
continues to collect names his entire life; most
many-named Khaynites are extremely powerful,
although a few, by picking on the weakest
members of their race, manage to acquire the
seeming of power without actually possessing it.
Because of the custom of taking the names of the
slain and enslaved, Khaynites make no distinc-
tion between male and female names.
Names:
Bikhari, Khuralu, Meshurr, Nhubat, Sauthoss,
Ygarku, Ygnoth, Zautoloss.
Adventures:
Khaynites rarely travel the lands they intend to
dominate, leaving such activities to their minions.
When a Khaynite goes abroad, he usually
does so sheathed in illusion and transmutation
magic, assuming a form unlike his own to pass
among the humanoids. Even the rare renegade
Khaynite who flees his wicked kin must employ
such deceptions. Both renegade Khaynites and
those who are abroad in search of some coveted,
usually magical, prize are extremely valuable
allies, for their magical powers exceed those
of any other humanoid. Khaynites prize magic
items more than material wealth, especially
favoring items that impart new arcane secrets.
Khaynite Racial Traits
• +2 Str, +4 Int, +6 Cha: Khaynites are
extremely intelligent and possess unparal-
leled force of personality; most are also
larger and stronger than average humanoids.
 • First Ones: Khaynites are Humanoids with
the First One subtype. Certain spells and
effects affect creatures with this subtype
differently.
• Khaynite base land speed is 30 ft.
• Darkvision: Khaynites can see in the dark
up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white
only, but it is otherwise like normal sight,
and Khaynites can function just fine with no
light at all.
• Damage Reduction 5/Silver: The magi-
cally-altered bodies of Khaynites resist most
injury; silver weapons, however, deal normal
damage to a Khaynite.
• Powerful Caster: Khaynites are innately
magical creatures, and their self-modifica-
tion rituals have only served to increase their
natural powers. A Khaynite gets a +5 bonus
to caster level in any spellcasting class in
which he has at least one level. This ability
does not grant additional spells or spell
levels.
• Automatic Languages: Khaynite and
Exodite. Bonus languages: Abyssal, Aneishi,
Common, Infernal, Locari, Necryos, Sobeka.
• Level Adjustment: +3. Khaynites are much
more powerful than the most races.
• Favored Class: Sorcerer. A multiclass
Khaynite's sorcerer class does not count
when determining whether he takes an expe-
rience point penalty. Khaynites are innately
magical, and must demonstrate their aptitude
with it or perish before reaching adulthood.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the
Khaynite Paragon class.
Bloodcast ((Su): A Khaynite Paragon may cast
additional spells by spilling blood. Every spell
level the Khaynite Paragon wishes to access costs
1d4 points of Con damage. A Khaynite Paragon
cannot access spells of a level higher than he
could normally cast, nor can he cast spells not on
his list of spells known; he can only cast addi-
tional spells from his list of spells known.
At 1st level, the Khaynite Paragon can only draw
upon his own blood, the magical power of which
he is intimately familiar with. Beginning at 2nd
level, he can draw blood from any helpless crea-
ture to fulfill the requirements of this ability.
Spellcasting: When a new Khaynite Paragon
level is gained, the character gains new spells per
day as if he had also gained a level in a spell-
casting class he belonged to before adding the
prestige class. He does not, however, gain any
other benefit a character of that class would have
gained, except for an increased effective level
of spellcasting. If a character had more than one
spellcasting class before becoming a Khaynite
Paragon, he must decide to which class he adds
the new level for purposes of determining spells
per day.
Aberrant Form ((Ex): At 3rd level, the Khaynite
Paragon completes the most depraved, but vital,
of his ritual transformations.
A Khaynite Paragon who completes his transfor-
mation loses the Humanoid type and gains the
Aberration type. He retains the Khaynite and
First One subtypes. He also gains a +2 Inherent

His appearance is forever altered by the trans-

a slight translucence to the skin, perhaps the
vague impression of something, organ or parasite,

this manifests itself as stolid obedience holds of Exodites and
in the Kroca, in the Kobura it leads Khaynites, running
to obsequiousness. Unlike humanoid
servants whose fawning is often
directly proportionate to their disloy-
alty, most Kobura genuinely mean
the compliments they heap upon their
masters. Among those they consider
equals, however, the Kobura are ruth-
less and conniving. Though they do
not fear death, they seek prestige,
and have been known to abandon
comrades to a gruesome fate to
advance their own cause.

Description:
Kobura are serpentine human-
oids, about four feet long from
tail to fanged mouth. Kobura fangs
are usually not strong enough to do any
real damage to humanoids, although some
train to improve the lethality of their bite.
Kobura are covered with soft, leathery
scales, usually in mottled patterns of
green and brown. A Kobura’s slim
arms and legs themselves resemble
serpents or tentacles more than
ordinary limbs, though they end
in five-fingered hands, have a

Kobura settlements invariably gravitate toward
steaming jungles and misty swamps, where the
Kobura are most comfortable.
Religion:
Kobura follow the Brotherhood of Khayne,
offering regular supplication and sacrifices to
the blood god. The majority of Kobura are
not especially devout, feeling, perhaps rightly,
that Khayne is a god best venerated from some
remove. Kobura renegades, who are more likely
to become spellcasters, tend to adopt a kind
of survival-of-the-fittest animism, filling their
metaphysics with nature spirits who share their
skulking, sinister nature.
Language:
Kobura speak Sobeka, the language of the First
Ones’ reptilian slave races. Many Kobura,
including all officers, learn to speak Exodite.
Since the return of the First Ones to Exodus,
Kobura have begun to pick up modern Common
to better spy on their humanoid enemies.
Names:
Kobura have only one name, which they are
given upon hatching. Unlike the larger Kroca
Sobeka, the Kobura rarely change their names
later in life. Kobura names are words in the
Sobeka language; they tend to favor somewhat
more complex constructions than their kin.
Male Names: Aos, Kudet, Nedet, Seta, Zag.
Female Names: Ber, Liset, Nefet, Ressa, Zu.
Adventures:
Kobura live an adventurous life. The foragers
and scouts of the First One armies, they are
accustomed to living off the land, taking what
they need, avoiding pursuit, and exploring
dangerous and contested areas. Kobura are
rarely sent on missions that require penetration

deep into enemy territory (the
ring to take these tasks upon themselves),

Kobura who join with non-First One adventurers
will be renegades. These escaped slave-soldiers
have little hope of survival, since they are hunted
as evil vermin by humanoids and as traitors by
the First Ones, so joining a competent band of
adventurers may actually increase their lifespans.

Kobura Sobeka Racial Traits

physically adept, their coiled power belied by
their slim frames.
• Small: As a Small creature, a Kobura gets
a +1 size bonus to AC and attack rolls and

smaller weapons than humans, and his lifting
and carrying capacities are only three quar-
ters what a human's would be.

its bite as its primary or attack, or, while
wielding a weapon, as a secondary natural
attack at a -5 penalty.

50% damage from Cold.
• Elasticity: A Kobura can bend and twist his
body in unnatural ways and squeeze through
very tight spaces. He gains a +10 racial

Kobura can eat and drink its fill.

Sobeka, Kroca
In the pre-human era, the soldiers of the First
Ones were immense crocodilians, man-reptile
hybrids with an insatiable hunger for humanoid
flesh. These man-eaters, the Kroca subrace of
12
the Sobeka, were slave-soldiers, but willingly
sublimated themselves in return for more chances
to catch and devour their favored prey. The
modern Kroca are much like their ancestors - but
centuries of selective breeding in the dark realm
of the First Ones have fashioned them into truly
perfect soldiers, unquestioning in their obedience
and unrivalled in their might. When the First
Ones explode back into the history of Exodus,
the implacable Kroca march at the forefront of
their armies.
Personality:
Kroca run hot and cold. At rest, they are lazy
beasts, preferring to bask in the sun or lounge in
mud pits. Roused to action, they explode with
savage force and unparalled brutality. Kroca are
man-eaters, preferring the taste of humanoid flesh
to all other foods, and their constant, ravenous
hunger is the only thing that rouses them from
their indolence. Only countless centuries of
selective breeding temper this violent duality;
the modern Kroca serve the greater First Ones
without question.
Physical Description:
Massively muscled and usually between seven
and eight feet tall, Kroca Sobeka tower over
humanoids. The Kroca’s hunched form is almost
dwarf-like in proportion, broad-shouldered and
squat; scales as hard as tempered mail cover the
creature from head to toe. Kroca heads extend
forward from shoulder-height and end in a
perpetually grinning mess of fangs. Kroca also
sport powerful tails they use to keep their balance
on land and as rudders while swimming.
Relations:
Kroca live and die for the Khaynites and
Exodites, in partnership with their brother
Sobeka. Other races simply die. This simple
code serves the Kroca well. It does not recom-
mend them to other races, however - especially
in concert with the Kroca habit of devouring
slain and captured enemies, the latter while they
are still alive. Legends of Kroca brutality have
lingered for thousands of years in Exodus, all
of them deserved, and these creatures are feared
perhaps disproportionately to their actual danger
- perhaps.

Nonetheless, a few Kroca do manage to suppress

fight beside allies of other races. Only adven-
turers live far enough outside society for a Kroca
to win their trust; those Kroca renegades who do
not live as murderous bandits drift to the adven-
turing life almost by necessity.
Kroca Racial Traits
• +4 Str, +4 Con, -2 Cha: Kroca are born
soldiers, stronger, tougher and hardier than
most humanoids. They are also bred to
follow orders, and tend to lack force of
personality.
• Monstrous Humanoid: Kroca Sobeka are
Monstrous Humanoids with the First One and
Reptilian subtypes. Sobeka are not subject to
spells or effects that affect humanoids only,
such as charm person or dominate person.
• Racial Hit Dice: Kroca begin play with one
level of Monstrous Humanoid. This grants
them 1d8+Con hit points, +1 base attack
bonus, (2 + Int) x 4 skill points, a base
Reflex save bonus +2 and a base Will save
bonus of +2. The Kroca's class skills are
Intimidate (Cha), Survival (Wis) and Swim
(Str). A Kroca is proficient in all simple
except
weapons, light armor, and shields (except
tower shields).
• Kroca base land speed is 20 ft. Kroca also
have a swim speed of 20 ft.
• Darkvision: Kroca can see in the dark up to
60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only,
but it is otherwise like normal sight, and
Kroca can function just fine with no light at
all.
• Cold Vulnerability: A Kroca takes an extra
50% damage from Cold.
• Hold Breath: A Kroca can hold his breath
for up to 8 minutes without suffering ill
effects.
• Powerful Build: The physical stature of
Kroca lets them function in many ways
as if they were one size category larger.
Whenever a Kroca is subject to a size modi-
fier or special size modifier for an opposed
such as during grapple checks, bull
check (such
rush attempts, and trip attempts),
attempts the Kroca
is treated as one size larger if doing so is
advantageous to him. A Kroca is also consid-
ered to be one size larger when determining
whether a creature’s special attacks based
14
on size (such as improved grab or swallow
whole) can affect him. A Kroca can use
weapons designed for a creature one size
larger without penalty. However, his space
and reach remain those of a creature of his
actual size. The benefits of this racial trait
stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and
spells that change the subject’s size category.
• Ravenous: A Kroca requires double the
normal amount of food and water to sustain
itself each day. If he does not consume
adequate sustenance for more than 24 hours,
he suffers 1d4 points of Con damage that day
and each day thereafter. The damage heals
normally, but continues to accrue until the
Kroca can eat and drink his fill.
• Swimmer: A Kroca has a +8 racial bonus on
Swim checks to perform some special action
or avoid a hazard. He can always choose to
take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted
or threatened. He can use the run action
while swimming, provided he swims in a
straight line.
• Automatic Languages: Sobeka. Bonus
languages: Common, Exodite, Giant,
Khaynite, Orcish.
• Level Adjustment: +1. Kroca Sobeka are
more powerful than most races.
• Favored Class: Barbarian. A multiclass
Kroca's barbarian class does not count when
determining whether he takes an experience
point penalty. Kroca are savage, semi-feral
warriors.
Kroca Paragon
Kroca Paragons are the largest, strongest, most
brutish examples of their race. They often serve
as shock troops in the armies of the First Ones,
trusting to sheer mass to overwhelm foes who
might resist either rage or fighting skill.
Because they tend to exemplify the physical gifts
of the Kroca race - often at the expense of mental
faculties -, Kroca Paragons enjoy a comparatively
lower social standing than the paragons of other
races; their masters see the,, even more than their
kin, as extremely useful but expendable beasts of
war. Nonetheless, the Kroca Paragon’s reputa-
tion for dim-wittedness is not entirely deserved,
and many of these mighty creatures are unfairly
labeled dullards because they trust to their
strength to see them through.
Regardless of their position in First One society,
Kroca Paragons are terrifying foes for other
races. Bigger than ogres and considerably
smarter and more skilled, a Kroca Paragon at
the height of his powers can bring down most
giants in single combat and tear through a small
company of armed men.

 feats of the
first ones
Aneishi Feats
Experienced Aneishi possess both the ability
and the inclination to become true masters of
the wilderness, able to trail the most alert prey
- animal or humanoid - across miles of trackless
wasteland, to snare their victims in inescapable
webs, and to overpower them when they are at
their weakest.
Exodite Feats
Powerful Exodites seek perfection through two
separate, but often intersecting paths: pursuing
the promise of immortality through their connec-
tion to the Plane of Shadows and tempering their
volatile inner minds with unbreakable discipline.
Khaynite Feats
Khaynites are the masters of blood magic,
masterful transmuters and overpowering
enchanters. Their dark sorcery and the favor of
their grotesque god once elevated them to rule
over all Exodus, and though their numbers are
much reduced, their powers remain as great as
ever.
Kobura Feats
Kobura are masters of guerilla warfare, a tactical saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks as
asset far beyond their apparent fighting skill. The pain courses through their bodies. Creatures that
First Ones encourage - and often force - them to
train in abilities that will make them more effec- additional ill effects, but they still suffer all of the
tive in this role.
Kroca Feats
Much more than most races, Kroca can leverage
their great physical strength to gain advan-
tage over foes and rivals. Experienced Kroca
warriors learn techniques derived from both their
humanoid and crocodilian sides.

spell”),
), all creatures that suffer at least 1 point
of damage from the base spell must immediately
attempt an additional Will save against the base
This extra save is always a Will
spell’s DC. (This
save regardless of whether or not the original
spell allowed a different type of save, or indeed
whether or not the original spell allowed a save
at all.) Any creatures that fail this extra saving
throw suffer a –1 penalty on all attack rolls,
succeed on the extra Will save do not suffer any
effects that they would have suffered from the
base spell.
The extra saving throw and effects forced by this
feat do not interact in any way with those of the
base spell; it is possible to fail the saving throw
against the base spell and succeed on the saving
throw against this feat, or vice versa. The effects
of this feat last for the entire duration of the base
spell, or for one full round (if the base spell has
a duration of Instantaneous or a duration of less
than one round

Special: This feat may be taken multiple times.
Its effects stack.
Between the Feet - General
Your expertise at battling larger creatures gives
you combat abilities that help you negate their
reach advantage.
103
Prerequisites: Dexterity 17+, Dodge, Mobility
Benefit: When moving out of or within the
threatened area of creatures of Large or greater
size that have a natural reach of at least 10 feet,
you can move freely through one additional
square without provoking an attack of opportu-
nity. You also gain a +1 dodge bonus to Armor
Class against opponents with a natural reach of
10 feet or more.
Normal: When moving out of or within a crea-
ture’s threatened area, a character can move one
square without provoking an attack of opportu-
nity.
Blessing of Khayne - Khaynite
While you lack the talents of a fully-fledged
sorcerer, you are capable of manifesting some
minor magical abilities.
Prerequisites: Khaynite, Charisma 13+
Benefit: Select two 0-level spells from the
sorcerer’s spell list. You may cast these two
spells once per day each. You suffer spell failure
penalties for wearing armor. You are treated as
a 1st level caster for all spell effects depending
on level. This stacks with any arcane spell caster
levels you have.
Black Mage’s Soul - General
You possess a soul fragment that was once a
mage who trafficked in dark magic. Through
need or desire, you have tapped into some of the
knowledge and skill of this soul fragment.
Prerequisite: Patchwork Soul (of an evil align-
ment only).
Benefit: You gain Knowledge (arcana),
Knowledge (the planes), and Knowledge (reli-
gion) as class skills. You also receive a +1 insight
bonus on all saving throws against spells and
effects from the school of Necromancy.
Special: Should any divination spell attempt to
determine your capacity for arcane spellcasting,
there is a 50% chance that it will detect a strong
ability within you (the potential of the soul frag-
ment) instead of your normal result, even if you
are not truly an arcane spellcaster.
Blighted Spell - Metamagic
You may taint your spells with raw blighted
energy.
Prerequisite: Any two metamagic feats, must be
of evil alignment.
Benefit: Blighted spells add a component of
blight damage in addition to the usual spell
effects. The additional damage is 1d6 per die of
damage the original spell does, and is subject to
the same saving throw rules as the original spell.
For example, a 12th level sorcerer casts a
blighted magic missile. The magic missile
normally does 5d4+ 5 damage, so the blighted
version deals 5d4+ 5 plus 5d6 blight damage
with no saving throw. If the same sorcerer casts
a blighted fireball it deals 10d6 fire damage plus
10d6 blight damage with a Reflex save for half
damage.
A blighted spell uses up a spell slot four levels
higher than the spell’s actual level.
Blinding Spittle - Biological
Two small holes in the front of your fangs allow
you spray toxic venom from your mouth.
Prerequisites: Venom glands or natural poison
ability delivered through a bite attack, base
Fortitude save bonus +6.
Benefit: As one of your poison doses for the
day, you may spray a 15’ cone of venom from
your mouth. All creatures caught in the area of
DC 10
effect are allowed a Reflex saving throw ((DC
+ one-half your character level or Hit Dice +
your Constitution modifier)) to avoid the effects.
Those who fail the Reflex save must succeed on
at the same DC
a Fortitude save (at DC)) or be blinded
for 1d4+1 rounds. Creatures immune to poison
are immune to this effect.
Blood Drinker - Aneishi
Aneishi believe that drinking the blood of their
victims gives them great power.
Prerequisites: Aneishi
Benefits: You benefit from ingesting blood. If
you drink a pint of fresh blood, you gain a +1
morale bonus to all attack and damage rolls, skill
and ability checks, and saves for one hour. The
blood must have come from an individual that
was living within the past four hours. You can
only gain this bonus a maximum of once per day,
and it does not exceed +1 no matter how much
blood you drink.
104
Furthermore, the blood of an individual can only
give you this bonus once. After you have tasted
a specific individual’s blood, it will no longer
benefit you; you need the blood of another indi-
vidual to use this feat again.
Blood Drain - Aneishi
You can drain a target of life giving blood.
Prerequisites: Aneishi
Benefit: An Aneishi drains blood, dealing 1d4
points of Constitution damage in any round
when it begins its turn attached to a victim by
a grappling attack. An Aneishi can only deal a
maximum of 12 points of Constitution damage
then they will detach itself with the Aneishi’s
appetite satisfied and be unable to us this feat for
24 hours. This ability does not affect elementals,
plants, or creatures that lack a Constitution score.
Blood of Khayne - Khaynite
The blood of Khayne or his legendary fiendish
or half-fiendish ancestor offspring is said to run
through your veins.
Prerequisites: Khaynite, Non good-aligned crea-
ture
Benefit: For all effects related to a race, you
are considered to be an evil subtype. You, for
example, can overcome damage reduction as if
your natural weapons and any weapons you wield
are evil-aligned.
Special: You may only take this feat at 1st level.
Body To Mind - Khaynite
You can surprise opponents by drawing upon the
magical energy latent in your body, but only at
severe cost to yourself.
Prerequisites: Khaynite, caster level 6th.
Benefits: As a swift action, you can take any
number of points of temporary ability damage
to your Str, Dex and Con. You can immedi-
ately cast a spell you know of a level up to the
among of temporary ability damage you took to
each ability. You may apply metamagic feats
without increasing the casting time, although they
increase the spell’s level normally.
You cannot use this feat to cast a spell with
a normal casting time longer than a standard
action.
You cannot use this feat to cast a spell of a higher
level than the highest level you could normally
cast.
If using this feat would reduce one of your abili-
ties to 0 or less, your abilities are reduced to 1,
instead, and the spell fails.
Ability damage suffered from this feat returns at
a rate of 1 point to each ability per hour.
Boon of Khayne - Khaynite
While you lack the talents of a fully-fledged
sorcerer, you are capable of manifesting some
low-level magical abilities.
Prerequisite: Khaynite, Charisma 13+, Blessing
of Khayne, Spellcraft 9 ranks
Benefit: Select any 1st or 2nd level spell from
the sorcerer’s spell list. You may cast this spell
once per day. You suffer spell failure penalties for
wearing armor. Spells gained from this feat are
in addition to those gained from any arcane spell-
caster levels you have.

You gain an extra attack against a foe you bull
rush.

Rush, Power Attack
Benefit: Whenever you successfully bull rush
an opponent, you immediately get a single free
attack at your highest attack bonus.
Special: A fighter may select Bull Rush Strike as
one of his fighter bonus feats.
Butcher - General
Prerequisites: Cleave, any evil alignment.
Benefit: If you deal a creature enough damage
with a melee attack to make it drop (typically
by reducing it to below 0 hit points or killing it),
you may forego the extra attack that you would
normally receive from the Cleave feat to instead
gain 10 temporary hit points.
These temporary hit points last for a maximum of
1 hour.
Calculating Gaze - Sobeka
Your cold and lidless eyes are unnerving to those
not of your species.
Prerequisite: Sobeka.
Benefit: You gain a +3 bonus on Sense Motive
and Intimidate checks made against creatures of
any non-Sobeka species. But suffer a -2 to all
diplomacy checks when dealing with non-Sobeka
races.

Your skin is thicker and tougher than most other
members of your race either through training,
heredity, or constant abuse.

Special: Creatures that do not normally have

natural armor (such humans have an effective
natural armor bonus of +0, which is increased to
+1 by this feat.
Chameleon Skin - Sobeka
You have mastered the ability to control the
pigment cells found along the surface of your
body. To a limited degree, you can change your
color to blend in with your surroundings.
Prerequisites: Sobeka, Hide 5 ranks
Benefit: As a full-round action, you can change
your skin tone to match your surroundings. This

type of surroundings. You may not gain the bene-
fits of this feat if you are wearing armor heavier
than light armor.

General
You have learned to use your cloak as a weapon.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 15, Cloak Use.
Benefit: You may use your cloak to attack in
melee. Wielded aggressively, a cloak can deal
1d3 points of nonlethal damage. You do not have
the level of control necessary to use your cloak in
special attacks (such as trip or disarm attempts).

Prerequisites: Exposure to unholy blight, evil

106
Benefit: You take a –2 penalty on all Charisma
checks and Charisma-based skill checks made
when interacting with creatures of good align-
ment. When you cast a spell that deals hit point
damage, you may choose to allow evil to taint the
spell. This does not change the casting time or
spell components, but it causes half of the spell’s
damage to be treated as unholy, which cannot be
resisted by normal means.

Counterspelling Adept -
General
You are skilled in the arts of foiling another’s
magic.
Prerequisite: Improved Counterspell, Spellcraft
6 ranks and the ability to cast 1st level or higher
spells.
Benefit: When attempting a counterspell action
against an opponent’s spell, you may use any
spell of the same school as the opponent’s spell.
The spell you use must be of equal or higher
level than the opponent’s spell.
Normal: Without this feat you may only counter-
spell with the same spell the opponent is using.

Your counterspells cause your victim to take
arcane damage.
Prerequisite: Improved Counterspell
Benefit: When you successfully counterspell a
spell, the caster of the spell takes force damage
equal to 1d4 points per level of the spell coun-
tered.
Craft Fetish - Item Creation
animal charm)
You can create any fetish (animal charm
whoseprerequisites you meet.
Prerequisites: Caster level 3rd.
Benefit: Crafting a fetish is a very ritualistic
method of creating magical trinkets that range
107
from the simple to the amazing. Though most
wizards consider fetishes to be “hedge magic,”
these items are able to tap into the divine as well
as the arcane, a feat that is beyond the power of
most spellcasters.
Crafting a fetish takes one day for each 1,000
gold pieces in its market price (round up). To
craft a fetish, you must spend 1/25 of the item’s
market value in experience points and expend
incense and spices costing one-third its market
price.
The creator must know the recipe for a particular
fetish before being able to create it. Unlike most
types of magic items, fetishes have specific
components that are required to create them,
above and beyond the usual prerequisites. These
components are listed as part of the item creation
information for each individual fetish. The crafter
must collect the fetish’s components before
attempting to create the fetish.
These components vary and may range from
feather of a hawk
the simple ((feather hawk)) to the grotesque
entrails of a bound infernal
(entrails infernal) to the exotic
(distilled dreams).
dreams).
Craft Lesser Fetish - Item
Creation
You have learned to create small fetishes to store
spells.
Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.
Benefit: This feat works exactly like the Scribe
Scroll feat but utilizes a different medium. All
gold piece, experience point, and other costs and
restrictions are identical to the Scribe Scroll feat.
Non-Shamans trying to activate a fetish must
succeed on a successful caster level check ((DC
equal to the caster level of the fetish).
Creation of a lesser fetish may not be combined
with items made through the use of the Craft
Fetish feat.
Craft Shadow - Exodite
You can create equipment from shadow.
Prerequisites: Exodite
Benefit: You can craft shadow into non-magical,
non-living, non-mineral materials, such as
clothing, rope, leather, or wood. Items created
out of shadow are obviously made of shadow,
but otherwise function exactly like their normal
counterparts. They possess the ghost touch
ability, and can be picked up, moved, and used
by corporeal and incorporeal creatures.
Creating an item out of shadow takes 1 full round
per pound of weight. For example, creating a
greatclub takes 8 rounds. Items which weigh less
than 1 pound can be created as a standard action.
You must make an appropriate Craft skill check
to create complex items or those that require a
high degree of craftsmanship, such as armor or
weapons.
Crafted shadow items last for a number of
minutes equal to your Hit Dice before dissolving
back into shadow.
Craft of the Wise - General
The caster’s magic is rooted in his Wisdom and
insight.
Prerequisites: Khaynite, Wisdom 13+.
Benefit: The caster uses his Wisdom score as
the key ability score for all arcane spell use,
including maximum level of spells he can cast
and bonus spells per day. This feat only affects
arcane spells that he casts without preparation
(such as the spells of a bard or sorcerer), not
arcane spells that require preparation (such as
those of a wizard
wizard).
Special: The caster can take this feat only at 1st
level.
Craft Shadow - Exodite
You can create equipment from shadow.
Prerequisites: Exodite
Benefit: You can craft shadow into non-magical,
non-living, non-mineral materials, such as
clothing, rope, leather, or wood. Items created
out of shadow are obviously made of shadow,
but otherwise function exactly like their normal
counterparts. They possess the ghost touch
ability, and can be picked up, moved, and used
by corporeal and incorporeal creatures.
Creating an item out of shadow takes 1 full round
per pound of weight. For example, creating a
greatclub takes 8 rounds. Items which weigh less
than 1 pound can be created as a standard action.
You must make an appropriate Craft skill check
to create complex items or those that require a
high degree of craftsmanship, such as armor or
weapons.
108
Crafted shadow items last for a number of
minutes equal to your Hit Dice before dissolving
back into shadow.
Crocodile Tail - Sobeka
Your thick flattened tail gives you an advantage
in the water.
Prerequisite: Strength 13, Sobeka
Benefit: Your movement rate increases by 5ft.
while swimming.
Special: Your tail must be intact to make use of
this feat.
Daemonic Appearance -
Khaynite
The blood of demons and devils flows in your
veins. This Infernal heritage is impossible to
disguise, mutating you little by little into a copy
of your ancestors. To the layperson, you may
very well be a demon walking the world.
Prerequisites: Khaynite; each individual trait has
one additional prerequisite feat.
Benefit: Choose one of the following traits and
apply the listed modifier; the exact physical
appearance of each trait is left up to you.
• Daemon Eyes - You must have the Infernal
Devil Eyes) feat. As a spell-like ability,
Taint ((Devil
you may create a fear effect on any one
creature within 5 feet. You may create this
effect once per day, plus a number of times
per day equal to your Charisma modifier (if
negative, treat it as a positive number for
this purpose). Your caster level is equal to
your character level. The DC is equal to 10
plus one-half your character level plus your
Charisma modifier (again, treat a negative
number as if it were positive).
• Horns of the Beast - You must have the
Infernal Taint (Massive Horns) feat. Your
gore attack now deals 1d8 damage (modified
by your Strength). This gore attack counts as
a normal attack made with a natural weapon
and follows all of the rules for natural weap-
onry. However, once per encounter you may
make a free gore attack in addition to your
regular attacks. You also gain a +2 circum-
stance bonus to all Intimidate checks.
• Razor Teeth - You must have the Infernal
Taint (Wicked Teeth) feat. Your bite attack
now deals 1d6 damage (modified by your
 Strength). This bite attack counts as a normal
attack made with a natural weapon and
follows all of the rules for natural weaponry.
However, once per encounter you may make
a free bite attack in addition to your regular
attacks. You also gain a +2 circumstance
bonus to all Intimidate checks.
• Wicked Sting - You must have the Infernal
Prehensile Tail
Taint ((Prehensile Tail)) feat. Your tail thickens
and grows a stinger made of sharpened
bone. You gain the ability to use your tail
in combat, dealing 1d6 points of piercing
damage on a successful sting attack. Your
tail has a 5’ reach, and you may make attacks
of opportunity with it, but it may not be
used for trip attacks unless you also have
the Tail Attack feat. The sting counts as a
normal attack made with a natural weapon
and follows all of the rules for natural weap-
onry. Once per day, immediately following
a successful sting, you may inject poison
into the wound as a free action. The victim
must succeed on a Fortitude save ((DC 10
plus one-half your character level plus your
Constitution modifier) or suffer Strength
damage from the poison (1d4 primary / 2d4
secondary). You are immune to your own
poison, but this does not grant you immunity
to any other type of poison, including the
poison of other Khaynite with this feat. The
poison from your stinger cannot be harvested
or collected in any way, shape, or fashion.
You may not use your sting in combat if you
are wearing heavy armor or if your tail is
hidden, covered, or otherwise unable to move
freely.
• Wicked Claws - You must have the Infernal
Taint (Sharp Claws)) feat. The damage from
your claw attacks increases to 1d6. Your
claws become especially sharp, and now
threaten a critical hit on a roll of 19-20. Your
claws are treated as normal natural weapons
and follow all of the rules for natural weap-
onry.
• Hooves of the Beast - You must have the
Cloven Hooves)
Infernal Taint (Cloven Hooves feat. Thanks
to the power of your legs, your charge attacks
are particularly devastating. When charging,
you gain a +4 bonus to hit instead of the
normal +2. If you also possess the Horns of
the Beast feat, you may use your gore attack
when making a charge; if the gore attack
hits, it deals its normal 1d8 damage plus
109
2d8 points of additional damage (all modi-
fied by Strength, as usual). You also gain
a +2 stability bonus on all opposed checks
made to resist a bull rush or trip attack, as
the powerful muscles in your legs make you
difficult to move.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times.
Choose a different trait each time you take it. The
penalties associated with this feat stack. As with
most natural weapons, the weapons described in
this feat threaten a critical hit only on a natural
20 and deal double damage on a critical hit,
unless otherwise noted.
Dark Master - Khaynite
Your advanced studies in evil subjects have
granted you mastery over evil magics.
Prerequisites: Dark Occultist.
Benefit: Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all
saving throws against Evil spells you cast. This
stacks with the benefits of the Dark Occultist feat
and any other relevant feats, such as Spell Focus.
Dark Occultist - Khaynite
Your studies of evil subjects increase your
mastery over evil magic.
Prerequisites: Intelligence 13+, evil alignment
Benefit: Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all
saving throws against Evil spells you cast. This
benefit stacks with that provided by other feats,
such as Spell Focus.
Death Roll - Kroca
When you latch onto an opponent, you can
plunge into a brutal death roll capable of crushing
a humanoid - or tearing one apart.
Prerequisites: Kroca, base attack bonus +6,
Strength 17+.
Benefits: When using your bite attack in a
grapple, you can initiate a death roll. If your
grapple check succeeds, both you and your
opponent fall prone, and your opponent takes
normal grapple damage plus 1d8 + ½ Str slashing
damage and 1d8+ ½ Str bludgeoning damage.
If your opponent is submerged under water
by falling prone (3 ft. of water for a Medium
humanoid),
humanoid DC
), he must make a Fortitude save ((DC
= damage dealt by your grapple check and death
roll) or immediately begin drowning.

Deceptive - General
You are naturally treacherous and deceptive.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all Bluff checks. diseases.
In addition, the DC to resist spells you cast with
the Charm descriptor increases by +1. This bonus Special: Most diseases require a living host.
stacks with that provided by other feats, such as Undead characters cannot make use of this feat.
Spell Focus.
Diseased - General
You can store a single disease and transmit it to
another host.
Prerequisites: Constitution 15+, any evil align-
ment
Benefit: Your body is able to store a single
disease.
Any time you are not currently carrying a disease
and you are exposed to one, if you succeed on
the saving throw to resist becoming infected, you
may instead accept the disease and become a
carrier. You suffer no ill effects from the disease
that you are carrying and automatically succeed
on any saving throws you might be required to
make against that same disease for as long as you
are a carrier. You do not, however, gain any other
special resistance or immunity to other diseases.
The carried disease changes its method of infec-
tion to Contact. You may then transmit the
disease to another creature with a successful
which provokes attacks
melee touch attack (which
of opportunity unless you have the Improved
Unarmed Strike feat).
If the attack hits, it deals no other damage, but
you transmit the disease from your body to the
creature struck. That creature must then imme-
diately make the normal saving throw for the
disease or it becomes infected. Regardless of
whether the creature struck succeeds or fails on
its save, this drains the disease from your body,
leaving you free to become a carrier for another
disease. If your touch attack misses, then you do
not lose the disease and may attempt to use this
feat again on a subsequent turn.
If you are the recipient of any spell or effect
(such as remove
that would cure you of disease (such
disease or heal
heal)) then you also lose any disease
that you are currently carrying. Most such effects
do offer you the option of attempting a saving
throw ((for example, remove disease allows a
Fortitude save if the target of the spell does not
wish to be affected, while heal allows a Will
save). If you wish to try and resist such an effect
then you must resist it in its entirety; you cannot
choose to be cured of some but not all of you
Dominating Demeanor - General
You can crush the spirits of those around you
with but a single glare.
Prerequisite: Iron Will.
Benefit: You gain a +5 bonus on Intimidate
checks.
Domineering Spell - Metamagic
You can force magical the victims of your
enchantments to bow by sheer force of will.
Prerequisites: Caster level 13th, Cha 19+,
Intimidate 11 ranks.
Benefits: You can substitute an Intimidate check
for the save DC of any Enchantment spell. If it
was not already, it becomes Language-dependent.
A Domineering Spell takes up a spell slot one
higher than normal.
Special: Khaynites have a particular affinity for
this type of metamagic; a Khaynite spontaneous
spellcaster does not increase the casting time of a
Domineering Spell, provided he applies no other
metamagic feats to it.
Dragon’s Hide - Sobeka
Your hide is thicker and tougher than normal.
Prerequisites: Sobeka, Toughness, Constitution
13.
Benefit: Over the years you have seen your share
of battles, or perhaps you have purposely allowed
others to beat upon your scaly hide. No matter
the method, the result is the same: your hide has
become as strong as steel. You gain a +1 inherent
increase to your existing natural armor.
Special: You may not gain this feat more than
once.
Dragon’s Roar - Sobeka
You can let loose a bestial howl, temporarily
increasing your Strength.
Prerequisite: Sobeka
110
Benefit: As a move action you let out a might
roar. You gain a +2 enhancement bonus to
Strength for one round, but afterwards you are
fatigued for 1d3 rounds. A second use of this feat
while you are fatigued leaves you exhausted.
Emulate Feat - General
Through observation, you can replicate the
effects of a feat for which you qualify.
Prerequisites: Concentration 20 ranks.
Benefit: As a full-round action, you can observe
another character make use of a feat for which
you would ordinarily qualify, then make a DC 25
Concentration check. If you succeed, you may
use that feat, though only in the following round.
Special: You may only use this feat to emulate
General feats.
Emulate Skill - General
Through observation, you can replicate another’s
skill.
Prerequisites: Concentration 15 ranks
Benefit: As a full-round action, you can observe
another character make use of an untrained
skill or a trained skill in which you have ranks,
then make a DC 20 Concentration check. If you
succeed, you can make a single skill check in the
following round using the other character’s ranks
in that skill
Enslaved - General
You have spent time toiling away under harsh
masters but due to a quirk of fate, the will of the
gods, or perhaps your own ingenuity you have
survived and find yourself free.
Prerequisite: Constitution 13
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to Fortitude and
Will saves, but suffer a –2 penalty to all saves
verses fear effects.
Special: Must have been captured or enslaved at
some point in your adventuring career or alterna-
tively this feat can be taken at first level to repre-
sent your character’s personal history.
Ensnaring Ambush
Your webs are even stickier than most, wrapping
opponents up and leaving them unable to resist.
Prerequisites: Webcasting ability.
111
Benefits: Creatures caught in your webs
are considered Helpless against all attackers
(although they can still attempt to escape and
take mental actions normally).
Escape Plan - General
You always keep an eye on the exits and one last
trick up your sleeve. Your enemies may not know
that you can’t be kept behind bars, but they’re
about to find out.
Prerequisites: A total of 30 skill ranks in Bluff,
Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, and Move
Silently.
Benefit: Once per play session, you receive a
+10 competence bonus to one Bluff, Climb,
Escape Artist, Hide, Jump or Move Silently
check. This check must be made while attempting
to avoid or escape capture.
Extra Webcasting - Aneishi
Prerequisite: Aneishi
Benefit: Each time you take this feat, you
can use your ability to turn or use webcasting
increases four additional times per day than
normal.
Normal: Without this feat, an Aneishi can typi-
cally use webcasting three times a day.
Fanatic - General
You are obsessed by a cause, and you are only at
your best when you are pursuing it.
Benefit: Choose a cause. You receive a +2
circumstance bonus to any roll you make that
directly advances this cause. You receive a –1
penalty to every other roll. This includes attack
rolls, saves, skill checks, and even damage.
Your cause must be specific, it must involve clear
and definite action, and it cannot center on your
own ambition or self-interest. “Kill every orc in
the world” is an acceptable cause, but “Destroy
all monsters” is not specific enough. “Further
the glory of my god” is too vague, but “Convert
everyone in the land to the worship of my god” is
acceptable. “Become king of England” is too self
interested, but “End the rule of the evil William”
is acceptable. The GM is sole judge of whether
a cause qualifies for this feat and whether an
action you are taking advances your cause. Your
own survival never directly advances your cause.
After all, if you fall, other believers will surely
rise to take your place.
Fast Reptilian Form - Sokeba
You can change to your primordial or serpentine
form faster than normal.
Prerequisite: Primordial Form or Serpentine
Form
Benefit: You may change into your primordial or
serpentine form or back to your normal form as a
standard action.
Note: It takes a full round action to change
forms.
Feast of the Heart - First Ones
By feasting on your enemy’s heart, you tempo-
rarily boost your physical prowess.
Prerequisites: First Ones subtype, Fortitude save
+4, Will save +4.
Benefit: You can absorb some essence from
a slain enemy that is your own size category
or larger by consuming its heart (a full-round
action) within 1 minute of its death. This essence
grants you a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength,
Dexterity, or Constitution ((your choice) for 24
hours. You can use this ability only once per slain
enemy, but you do not have to be the one who
killed the creature in order to gain this bonus
from its heart. This ability works only if the slain
enemy was a living creature that had a heart or
similar organ. Constructs, undead, and creatures
without discernable anatomies have no suitable
body parts that you can eat.
Fiendish Ancient Form - Sobeka
Your primordial or serpentine form is tainted by
supernatural evil.
Prerequisites: Primordial Form or Serpentine
Form, evil alignment, base Fortitude save +4.
Benefit: You gain certain fiendish abilities in
primordial or serpentine form, and your primor-
dial or serpentine form appears fiendish. While in
primordial or serpentine form, you gain damage
reduction 5/magic, plus acid, cold, or electricity
resistance 5 (your choice each time you assume
primordial or serpentine form). You also gain
the extraplanar and evil subtypes, and your aura
increases in strength to match that of an outsider.

Final Act - General
Prerequisite: Die Hard, Endurance
Benefit: When reduced below zero hit points and
still conscious, you gain a +2 bonus to strength
and a +1 morale bonus to saves verses fear for as
long as you remain below zero hit points.
Forge Shadow - Exodite
You can create durable equipment from shadow.
Prerequisites: Intelligence 13, Craft Shadow
Benefit: As the Craft Shadow feat, except that
you can also forge shadow into mineral mate-
rials such as stone, crystal, or metal (but
( not rare
metals such as adamantine or cold iron).
iron Your
shadow items last for a number of minutes equal
to your Hit Dice x 10 before dissolving back into
shadow.
Forked Tongue - Sobeka
Your people are known for talking out of both
sides of their mouth. You are an expert at telling
bits of the truth, but never truly lying… techni-
cally.
Prerequisite: Sobeka
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all Bluff and
Diplomacy checks.
Frightful Ambush - Aneishi
Your surprise attacks are so startling and terrible,
they leave foes unable to react.
Prerequisites: Aneishi, Charisma 13+, Improved
Initiative.
Benefits: If you act in a surprise round, any
opponent who did not act in that surprise round
must make a Will save ((DC 10 + ½ hit dice +
Cha). Creatures who fail their saves are either
Panicked (if they have fewer hit dice than you) or
Shaken (if they have as many or more hit dice)
for the first round of combat.
Special: If multiple characters with this feat
act in a surprise round, opponents must only
make a save against the attacker with the highest
Frightful Ambush save DC; however, each addi-
tional character with Frightful Ambush who acted
in the surprise round adds +2 circumstance bonus
to the DC, as though using the Aid Another
action.
Furious Assault - General
You are skilled at quickly overwhelming your
opponents with a sudden attack.
Prerequisite: Improved Initiative, Base Attack
Bonus +1
Benefit: On the first round of any combat, you
may declare a furious assault. You gain a +2
bonus to all melee attack and damage rolls during
that round.
The furious assault relies on savagery and
brutality that leaves your defenses open, so you
suffer a –2 penalty to your Armor Class until the
beginning of your next turn. You may not use
the Weapon Finesse or Combat Expertise feats
when making a furious assault, and you lack the
precision needed to make sneak attacks until the
beginning of the next round.
Furious Charge - General
You headlong assaults are a terror on the battle-
field.
Prerequisites: Power Attack
Benefit: When performing a charge action, add
1.5 x your Strength modifier or 2 x your Strength
modifier if you are using a two-handed weapon,
to the damage of a successful melee attack.
But due to the reckless nature of this attack the
defender gains an attack of opportunity upon the
character performing a furious charge, this is in
addition to any attacks of opportunity provoked
through moving through a threatened area.
Normal: When performing a charge action, add
your Strength modifier or 1.5 x your Strength
modifier if you are using a two-handed weapon,
to the damage of a successful melee attack.
Goad - General
You can provoke a target to attack you.
Prerequisites: Charisma 13+.
Benefit: As a standard action you may attempt
to goad a target into attacking you. This uses
the same mechanics as feinting in combat ((you
make a Bluff check which is opposed by a special
Sense Motive check where your target also gets
to add its base attack bonus).
). The target must
be able to both see and hear you and must be
within 90 feet of you. If you win the opposed
check, the target must attack you on its next turn.
The target may not take any action that does not
113
involve attacking you, but it does not have to be
stupid about how it attacks you - it will use the
best tactical option available (charging, making a
melee attack, making a ranged attack, casting a
spell that can deal damage to you, etc.)
This is a mind-affecting effect but it is not
language-dependent. Targets that have the Still
Mind class feature or an Intelligence score of 2 or
lower are immune to this ability. This ability may
only be used once per target per day, since a foe
only succumbs to such tactics once.
Godless - General
You are more resistant than normal to divine
magic.
Prerequisite: No patron deity.
Benefit: You gain spell resistance equal to 5
+ your character level against divine spells of
any kind. If a divine spell penetrates your spell
resistance, you gain a +2 bonus on any saving
throws allowed against it. You may not volun-
tarily suppress your spell resistance to receive
the benefit of any divine spell. In addition,
you cannot be raised, resurrected, or otherwise
restored to life via any divine magic once you
die.
Godslayer Strike - Exodite, Ki
Your fists transcend morality, incarnating your
will upon the broken bodies of your enemies.
Prerequisites: Exodite, Ki Strike (lawful
lawful
lawful),
Stunning Fist, Wis 13+, non-good alignment.
Benefits: By expending one of your daily uses
of Stunning Fist, you can, as a free action, grant
your unarmed strikes a single alignment enhance-
ment. Your unarmed strikes count as Anarchic,
Axiomatic, Holy or Unholy until the beginning of
your next action.
This is a Supernatural (Su) effect.
Grotesque Spell - Metamagic
Your transmutation spells have particularly terri-
fying and disturbing manifestations.
Prerequisites: Caster level 10th, Cha 17+.
Benefits: When you cast a transmutation spell,
any creature that can see the spell’s target,
including the target itself, must make a Will
save ((DC equal to the spell’s) or be Sickened
for 1 round. The Sickened effect is a Mind-
affecting Fear effect, but the original spell is not.
Aberrations are immune to this effect.
A Grotesque Spell uses up the same level as a
normal spell.
Special: Khaynites have a particular affinity for
this type of metamagic; a Khaynite spontaneous
spellcaster does not increase the casting time of
a Grotesque Spell, provided he applies no other
metamagic feats to it.
All Khaynites are immune to the effects of
Grotesque Spell.
Hard to Handle - Sobeka
You have spent most of your life with people
trying to throw you out of places they think you
don’t belong. As a result, you are one wriggly
little bugger.
Prerequisites: Kobura Sobeka, Escape Artist 5
ranks.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to your opposed
rolls made to resist being grabbed, grappled,
held, or pinned by other creatures. You may use
your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength
modifier when making these kinds of grapple
checks.
Special: You lose the benefits of this feat during quality or from the Scent feat).
any grapple that you initiate or on any subsequent
grapple check made during a grapple that you
initiated.
Head-butt - General
Your broad skull and cranial ridges lend a nasty
surprise to your unarmed strikes.
Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: Once per round, when performing an
unarmed strike against a humanoid opponent
up to one size larger than you, you may make
a head-butt instead and add 1.5x your Strength
modifier to the damage if successful.
Special: Head-butt may not be combined with a
Flurry of Blows.
Improved Combat Reflexes -
General
When a foe gives you an opening, you know
where to hit where it counts.
Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes
Benefit: Whenever you make an attack of oppor-
tunity, you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls. In
addition, if your attack results in a critical threat,
you gain a +4 insight bonus on the confirmation
roll.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Combat
Reflexes as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Improved Sacrificial Casting -
General
You are a master at drawing the life energy from
the dying to fuel your spells.
Prerequisites: Sacrificial Casting and Charisma,
Intelligence, or Wisdom 17+
Benefit: When using the Sacrificial Casting
feat, you may apply its effects to any spell you
know, even if you would not normally be able to
cast the resulting spell. The effective spell level
may not exceed 9th, however, so you could not

begun to manufacture more powerful venom.

Prerequisites: Iron Will.

You know where to strike an enemy to make it
count.
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Base Attack Bonus
+6, Intelligence 13
Benefit: A number of times per day equal to
1+ your Intelligence modifier, when performing
a full attack action, you may chose to add 1d4
points of damage to each successful hit against
your opponent.
Iron Skin - Khaynite
Your skin is much thicker and tougher than other
members of your race, but at the cost of visible
and significant disfigurement.
Prerequisites: Callused Skin, base Fortitude save
+6.
Benefit: You gain a permanent non-magical +1
increase to your existing natural armor. This
increase stacks with the increase provided by the
Callused Skin feat, for a total increase in your
base natural armor of +2.
Because of the increased thickness and rough-
ness of your skin, along with your many plainly-
visible calluses and scars, you suffer a -4 penalty
on NPC reaction checks and on social skill
checks in any situation where the GM feels that
your leathery appearance would cause you to be
perceived unfavorably.
Khaynite’s Cry - Khaynite
Merely hearing this awful sound is often enough
to cause enemies to flee in terror.
Prerequisites: Charisma 13+, Base Attack Bonus

Benefit: As a free action, you may emit a terrible
shout, causing all opponents within a 30-foot
cone to be affected as if by a scare spell (Will

Larger Primordial Form -
Sobeka
Your primordial form is of unusually large size.
Prerequisite: Primordial Form
Benefit: Your primordial form is one size cate-
gory larger than your normal form. You gain a
+2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to
(minimum Dex 1),
Dexterity (minimum 1), and a -1 penalty to
AC and on attack rolls because of your increased
size. If the size of your primordial form increases
from Medium to Large, it has a space of 10 feet
and a natural reach of 10 feet; otherwise space
and reach are unchanged.
Larger Serpentine Form -
Sobeka
Your serpentine form is of unusually large size.
Prerequisite: Serpentine Form
Benefit: Your serpentine form is one size cate-
gory larger than your normal form. You gain a
+2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to
Dexterity (minimum Dex 1), and a -1 penalty to
AC and on attack rolls because of your increased
size. If the size of your serpentine form increases
from Small to Medium, it has a space of 5 feet
and a natural reach of 5 feet; otherwise space and
reach are unchanged.
Lesser Shadow Form - Exodite
Your ghost form is shadowy and indistinct.
Prerequisites: Exodite
Benefit: In any condition of illumination other
than bright light, you can disappear into the
116
shadows, gaining concealment (20% miss
chance).
Lethal Constriction - Kobura
When your coils close around an opponent, his
death is all but assured.

Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on the Strength
check you make to initiate a bull rush or overrun.
As well, you can make bull rush attacks against
creatures up to two sizes larger than you are, and

Living Contagion - General
Your body is a repository for a host of diseases.
Prerequisites: Diseased
Benefit: You gain the ability to store a number
of different diseases within your body. You must
be exposed to each disease you wish to store as
explained by the Diseased feat. You may store
one disease per point of Constitution bonus
(minimum 2). ). When you attempt to infect other
creatures with the diseases you carry, you may
elect to retain your status as a carrier instead of
releasing the disease. If you choose to release the
disease as part of the attack, however, then the
save DC for the target creature to avoid infection
is increased by +2. You may infect a maximum
of one creature per day with each disease that
you carry, without needing to be reinfected your-
self. You may still only deliver one infection per
touch attack, but you may choose which disease
you will attempt to spread each time you make
an attack.
117
Lizard Climb - Sobeka
You can move along vertical surfaces with
incredible agility.
Prerequisites: Sobeka, Dexterity 13, Climb 8
ranks, Dodge, Mobility.
Benefit: You can always take 10 on Climb
checks, even when distracted or threatened.
As well, when climbing within a chimney, in
a corner, or any other location where you can
brace against two walls (whether opposite or
perpendicular), you can move up or down at half
speed by bounding from one surface to the other
without the normal accelerated climbing penalty.
If you make an accelerated climb, you move at
full speed and make a single Climb check at a
–5 penalty. Additionally, you can make a vertical
charge attack against an opponent at the top or
bottom of the area to be scaled.
Normal: You move at one-quarter your normal
speed when climbing, or at half speed with a –5
penalty on the Climb check.
Magic Body - Khaynite
Magic surrounds and protects you.
Prerequisites: Khaynite
Benefit: Gain +2 hit points for every metamagic
or item creation feat you have. Whenever you
take a new metamagic or item creation feat, you
gain +2 hit points.
Masochistic Ecstasy - General
Experiencing pain brings you pleasure.
Prerequisites: Great Fortitude.
Benefit: Whenever you take the maximum
possible hit point damage from a single attack in
combat (i.e. all the damage dice rolled as part of
the attack come up with their maximum values),
you gain a +2 morale bonus on all your attack
rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability
checks for one round per character level. These
bonuses do not stack with each other; instead the
duration is merely reset.
Masquerade Spell - Metamagic
For fear of those that hate spellcasters, you have
learned to hide your spellcasting within other
activities.
Prerequisites: Bluff 2 ranks, Perform (any) 5
ranks, caster level 1st,
Benefit: You have mastered the art of casting
spells inconspicuously, and you can mingle the
verbal and somatic components of spells into
your performances so skillfully that others may
not realize that you are casting at all.
The fact that you are delivering a performance
is obvious to everyone in the vicinity, but the
fact that you are casting a spell is not obvious. A
masqueraded spell cannot be identified through a
Spellcraft check unless the person attempting to
do so also has the Masquerade Spell feat. Unless
the magic spell visibly emanates from you, or
observers have some other means of determining
its source, they will not know you cast a spell.
Unlike most metamagic feats, casting a masquer-
aded spell does not increase the spell slot
required to cast the spell, nor do spells need to
be prepared in advance with this metamagic feat.
You may truly use it “on the fly,” but the spell
always requires at least one full-round action to
cast, even if its casting time is normally shorter,
due to the time required for your performance.
You may only use this feat when using Perform
(sing) or Perform (oratory) for spells with verbal
components. In the case of spells without a
verbal component, Perform (dance) or Perform
(any musical instrument)) may be used. Because
you are trying to maintain the quality of your
performance at the same time you are casting the
spell, you must succeed on a Perform check (DC
15 + level of the spell you are trying to cast) or
the spell fails.
This feat can be stacked with other metamagic
feats, which may result in removing the need
for one or more of the spell’s components.
For example, you may combine the use of this
feat with the Silent Spell or Still Spell feats.
Regardless of the actual components of the
final spell, you must still deliver a performance
in some fashion in order to use this feat and
disguise the fact that you are casting.
Normal: Without using this feat, spellcasting can
usually be recognized by observers, and those
who can see or hear the spellcaster can make a
Spellcraft check to identify the spell being cast.
Special: If you choose to use this metamagic
feat with a Perform skill that involves a musical
instrument, the instrument must be present, and
you must play the instrument during the spell-
casting.
118
You must produce sound for any spells with a
verbal component. You must have one hand free
to perform gestures for any spells with a somatic
component (using a plucked string instrument,
such as a harp or lyre, fulfills this requirement),
and you must have any required material compo-
nent or spell focus readily available during your
performance.
Massive Build - Kroca
Even among the mighty paragons of your race,
your size and strength are legendary.
Prerequisites: Kroca, base attack bonus +10,
Strength 25+, Large size
Benefits: You regain the Powerful Build special
quality. The damage of your natural weapons
increases by one die type.
Normal: Kroca Paragons lose the Powerful Build
special quality upon becoming Large size.
Metamorphic Healing - Sobeka
You heal damage when you change form.
Prerequisite: Primordial Form or Serpentine
Form
Benefit: Once per day, when you use your ability
to change shape into you primordial or serpentine
form, you may heal up to 10 points of damage to
yourself.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times.
Its effects do not stack. Each time you take it,
you may use this ability one more time per day.
Mind To Body - Khaynite
Your magical powers can temporarily enhance
your body, greatly increasing your physical
prowess at the cost of your sorcery.
Prerequisites: Khaynite, caster level 6th.
Benefits: As a swift action, you can lose any
number of spell slots, beginning with your
highest level spell slots. For every spell slot lost,
you gain a +1 bonus to your Str, Dex or Con.
The bonuses from this feat last 10 minutes per
caster level.
Special: Using this feat causes your muscles to
bulge and twist into strange and alien shapes.
You suffer a -4 penalty on Bluff and Diplomacy
checks, but get a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks.
Murderous Precision - Fighter,
General
For you, killing is an art form, and you love prac-
ticing it on a helpless canvas.
Prerequisites: Non-good alignment, base attack
bonus +5.
Benefit: You may make a coup de grace attack
on a helpless opponent as a standard action. You
still provoke attacks of opportunity as normal.
Normal: Rendering a coup de grace requires a
full-round action.
No Soul - First Ones
You have not soul and with that makes you
immune to many soul destroying attacks
Prerequisites: First Ones Subtype, Evil
Alignment
Benefit: You have no soul and with that you are
immune to such attacks like energy draining,
magic and Trap the Soul for example.
Overseer - General
You can coordinate the efforts of many people
working on a single project.
Prerequisite: Charisma 13+
Benefit: When others assist you in making a
Craft check using the aid another action, they
bestow a +4 bonus on your check. In addition,
one willing assistant may pay up to one-half the
experience point cost required when crafting
a magic item. For example, a willing assistant
could pay up to 461 XP when you craft a nine
lives stealer. The assistant cannot pay experience
points in this way if doing so would reduce his
character level.
Patchwork Soul - Background
When the gods poured out the pieces of your soul
to make your life, one of those pieces was more
resilient than the others and maintained a frag-
ment of its old identity. Though the fragment is
not truly conscious, it still retains skills, memo-
ries, or tidbits of knowledge that might surface
over time.
Benefit: The extra piece of spirit muddies your
aura. Choose an alignment other than your own
(representing the soul fragment’s alignment in
its former life). There is a 50% chance that any
attempt to read your alignment will return the
119
fragment’s alignment instead of your actual align-
ment. Because the fragment constantly fights
to reassert its sentience and independence, your
mind is slightly more difficult to read or control,
giving you a +1 bonus on Will saves against all
mind-affecting spells and effects.
Peripheral Vision - Sobeka
Your naturally wide-angle field of view has given
you an uncanny knack for noticing things on the
edge of your visual range.
Prerequisite: Sobeka
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on all Spot checks
made to detect a moving target or object.
Plaguebearer
You carry a more virulent strain of disease than is
normal for one of your species.
Prerequisites: Must have a disease special attack
Effects: Add +1 to the DC of all saving throws
against your disease special attack. In addition,
add +1 to the ability damage inflicted by the
disease. This bonus applies to each type of ability
damage. For instance, if your disease inflicted
1d3 Dexterity and Wisdom damage, then with
this feat it would inflict 1d3+1 damage to both

its natural form when killed, but separated body
parts retain their shape.
Prodigy - General
You were born with an inherent understanding of
some of the powers of the world around you.
Prerequisite: Caster or manifester level 1st.
Benefit: Once per day, you may increase your
caster or manifester level by 2 for all purposes
relating to a single spell you cast or power you
manifest. This does not increase the spell or
power’s casting time.
You may not exceed the normal maximum
damage dice of the spell or power by means of
this ability.
Psychic Cannibal - Psionic
You can feed on another creature to steal some of
its psionic energy.
Prerequisites: Manifester level 1st, evil align-
ment.
Benefit: You may use a special version of the
coup de grace action to drain creatures of their
psionic energy. As with a normal coup de grace,
the target creature must be helpless and the use
of this ability is a full round action that provokes
attacks of opportunity.
Roll the damage as normal for an automatic
critical hit, but instead of dealing that damage to
the target, you gain a number of temporary power
points equal to the amount of damage rolled. The
victim loses a number of power points equal to
the number of temporary power points you gain.
The victim does not get a saving throw, does not
lose any hit points, and is not at risk of dying.
You cannot steal more than the total number of
power points that the victim currently has avail-
(any excess “damage” is wasted
able (any wasted).
Except for the changes described here, this ability
works like the mindfeeder weapon enhancement
from the Expanded Psionics Handbook. Unlike
a mindfeeder weapon, this ability will work on

reserve ) and you may use it more than once per
day, but you must make another coup de grace
Temporary power points remain for a number
of minutes equal to your manifester level. Like
temporary hit points, you expend these points
first, and temporary power points do not stack
with each other; they overlap.
Thus, if you use this ability while you still have
some temporary power points remaining from a
previous usage, you gain only the better of the
two values: either your current number of tempo-
rary power points, or the new influx of temporary
power points, whichever is higher.
Pull Into Shadows - Exodite
You can carry unwilling passengers into the
shadow realm with you.
Prerequisites: Cloak of Shadows, Shadow Jump
70 ft. or more.
Benefits: If you are pinning a grappled opponent,
you may carry him with you via Shadow Jump

or other dimension door effect as a swift action.
The size limitations remain the same as for
willing passengers.
If you attempt to use this ability on a creature
with a dimensional anchor effect, you complete
the jump without the creature, suffer 2d6 points
of damage, and are no longer considered grap-
pling.
This is a Supernatural (Su) effect.
Quickened Counterspell -
General
Prerequisites: Counterspelling Adept or
Improved Counterspell, Ability to cast 4th-level
spells.
Benefit: You may make one counterspell attempt
each round as a free action, instead of a standard

action, which allow allows you only a single
attack with the attack action.
Razorweb Cocoon - Aneishi
You are able to create razor sharp webs that cause
damage if you try to escape from the cocoon.
Prerequisites: Aneishi, Web Cocoon
Benefit: Works the same as web cocoon, but
when an individual attempts to escape or burst
the web, the difference to the DC and the person
and their result, whether it is positive or negative totaling no more than 9d6 points of damage each
that is the amount of dame they will take. For
example a character tries to burst through the
web; the web has a DC 23 and the player rolls
16 and the player takes 7 points of damage and
is still trapped in the cocoon. The web has 9 hit
points plus 1 per class level of the Aneishi and
takes double damage from fire.
Reactive Caster - General
You can counter an opponent’s spells with great
efficiency and quickness.
Prerequisites: Combat Casting, Improved
Counterspell, Spellcraft 10 ranks.
Benefit: Once per round, when you make a
successful Spellcraft check to identify a spell

you use to counter do not have to be from the
same school as the spell you are countering.
Normal: You must use the ready action to coun-
terspell an opponent’s spell.
Red Dragon Breath - Sobeka
You can breathe strange fire, either as part of
your bite attack or as a breath weapon.
Prerequisite: Primordial Form or Serpentine
Form
Benefit: You can manifest white or eerie green
flames in your mouth. These flames have two
possible effects:
• Flaming Bite: As a free action in conjunc-
tion with a successful bite attack, you may
deal +1d6 points of fire damage in addition
to your normal bite damage.
• Breath Weapon: As a standard action, you
may breathe a 5-foot cone of fire that deals
1d6 points of damage per character level you
possess (maximum 5d6, Reflex half, DC 10 +
1/2 your character level + your Constitution
modifier).
These two effects draw from the same pool of
fire damage dice each day. For example, a 9th-
level character could use this feat to produce one
5d6 breath weapon and four +1d6 bite attacks, or
a 5d6 breath weapon and one 4d6 breath weapon,
or nine +1d6 bite attacks, or any combination

feat more than once.

Prerequisite: Primordial Form or Serpentine
Form

with normal or dire reptiles. This ability grants
you a +4 racial bonus on checks made to influ-

feat, any evil alignment.
Benefit: When you successfully perform a coup
de grace on a creature with an Intelligence score
of 3 or greater, and the victim dies as a result,
you gain a number of “spell levels” that you can
use to power the use of metamagic feats. The
amount of energy you gain is equal to one-half
the victim’s total character level or Hit Dice

special modifier (see the table). You expend these
spell levels to pay for the cost of spontaneously
applying metamagic feats you know to spells

per character level.
Special Modifier Bonus Levels

Neutral alignment +1
Evil alignment +0
Child +3
Young Adult +2
Adult +1
Middle Age +0
Old –1
Venerable –2
Example: Suppose a 9th-level dark-kin sorcerer
who has kidnapped a young woman is fleeing
from his pursuers. Finding himself trapped in a
dead-end alley, he yanks free a knife and turns
to face the guards who cluster at the mouth of
the alley. On his action, the sorcerer performs a
coup de grace attack on his captive, killing the
poor girl. She was a 1stlevel Commoner with a
lawful good alignment. The dark-kin therefore
gains one free level for the one Hit Die, plus two
more for her alignment, plus two more because
she was a young adult, for a total of five effec-
tive spell levels. He can store these levels for up
to nine minutes, and may use them to apply any
metamagic feats he knows to any of his spells
without increasing the effective spell level, up to
a total of five effective level increases, as long as
the total effective level of any modified spell does
not exceed 4th level.

metal, or stone, onto which you are able to carve,
sculpt, or otherwise scribe spells. Runic items
are activated exactly as if they were scrolls and
use all of the same rules and restrictions. The
creation times, gold piece costs, and experience
point costs for sculpting runic items are exactly
the same as those for scrolls, except that you
must also succeed on a Craft check ((DC 10 plus
twice the level of the spell being sculpted
sculpted) at the
conclusion of the creation process or the item

shadow.

Craft Shadow, Dexterity 13+

terpart. It possesses the ghost touch ability, and
can be picked up, moved, and used by corporeal
and incorporeal creatures.

You slip through the wilderness like a killing
ghost, all but invisible in your natural environ-
ment.

dangerous weapon.
Prerequisite: Cloak Attack.
Benefit: When using the steel cloak technique,
you attack exactly as detailed in the Cloak Attack

trademark.

Focus or Domain Focus feat. You may manipu-
late that spell on the fly in one of three ways. You
may add +1 to each die of damage or healing,
you may add +1 to the spell’s saving throw DC,
or you may cast the spell at +1 caster level.
Additionally, you may alter the visual effects of
the spell. For example, you may create magic
missiles that look like screaming skulls. These
visual changes do not have any game-mechanical
effect, but they should be distinctive enough to
allow others to recognize the spell as being some-
what unique. This feat does not make the spell
take up a higher slot. However, for spontaneous
casters, it does increase the casting time as is
typical of metamagic feats.
Special: You may gain this feat more than once,
but you must choose a spell from a different
school or domain each time. You may not have
multiple specialized spells from the same school
or domain.

Spider Wings - Aneishi
You have developed a technique for weaving
webs between your arms and legs, creating a
parachute / glider of sorts that gives you limited
ability to glide.

glide less than 50 feet in a round unless you
touch down. If you fall, you automatically break
into a glide.

Some Aneishi have a special gland that makes
them capable of producing exceptionally sticky
webbing. This makes it all the more difficult for
their prey to disentangle itself from their webs.
Prerequisites: Aneishi

are extremely sticky. Those that are trapped prey
attempting to escape with an Escape Artist or
Strength check receive a –4 penalty to their roll.

endless darkness of the Plane of Shadows.
Prerequisites: Cloak of Shadows, Pull Into
Shadows, Shadow Jump 110 ft. or more.
Benefits: When you force a grappled opponent to
become your passenger using Pull Into Shadows,
you may attempt to strand him on the Plane of
Shadows during the dimension door effect.
A stranded opponent must deal with the dangers
of the Plane of Shadows and cannot follow your
trail back to your plane of origin. However, if he
possesses plane-shifting abilities of his own, this
ability will not keep him from returning under his
own power.
The opponent may make a Reflex save ((DC 10 +

spell with the Concentration metamagic, you can
extend the spell duration by concentrating upon
it. The amount of time that you concentrate on
the spell is not counted against the total duration
of the spell. Once your concentration is broken
((purposefully or otherwise) the regular duration
ensues. Effectively, the spell has a duration of
Concentration + (normal duration).
Swift - General
You are fast on your feet.

- chained when unwanted, loosed to devastating
effect when needed.
Prerequisites: Exodite, Still Mind class feature,
Wis 15+.
Benefits: You can acquire levels in classes that
require a Chaotic or non-Lawful alignment even
if your alignment is Lawful.
In addition, monk and barbarian levels stack for
purposes of the rage and flurry of blows class
features, and you can multiclass freely between
these classes. Thus, if you have 6 levels of
monk and 5 levels of barbarian, you would have
Greater Rage 3/day as an 11th level barbarian
and Greater Flurry of Blows as an 11th level
monk. Other class features, such as the barbar-
ian’s damage reduction or the monk’s slow fall
ability, do not stack.
Thickened With Age - Sobeka
After multiple sheddings, your scales have
enlarged and matured, finally reaching their
maximum potential.
Prerequisites: Dragon’s Hide, base Fortitude

evil alignment).
Benefit: Sleight of Hand, Disable Device, and
Open Lock are class skills for you. Additionally,
you receive a +1 insight bonus to Spot, Listen,
and Sense Motive checks. You also receive a +1
insight bonus to initiative.
Special: In addition to gaining the skills that
your soul fragment retains from its former
existence, you have been afflicted with a bit of
its paranoia, which is what led to its original
downfall. The paranoia of the thief’s soul frag-
ment means that any failed Sense Motive check
that the GM deems appropriate will give you
the worst possible interpretation of the target’s

you ). Trusting the person in any way will require
a Will save (DC 20). Additionally, once per game
session, the GM may request that you roll a Spot,
Listen, or Sense Motive check (DC 20). Success
indicates that you have “noticed” a threat where
none exists.
Examples include: taking a diplomat’s nervous-
ness when recruiting your services in some deli-
cate matter as a sign that he is setting the group
up for an ambush, or wrongly interpreting an
innocent gesture from a peasant as a threatening
gesture or the precursor to an attack.
Tip Cut - Fighter, General

weapons to inflict slashing damage.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus with selected
weapon.
Benefit: You learn versatility with a single type

chosen weapon, you may choose to deal slashing
damage instead of piercing damage.
Special: You may gain this feat more than once.

feat, it applies to a different one-handed piercing
weapon (or to the rapier).

You have learned to bully and steal to survive.
Prerequisite: Non-good alignment.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all Intimidate
and Sleight of Hand skill checks.
Visions of Lives Past - General
Your connection to your past life is stronger then
normal. Your soul remembers something of its
past existence. You gain knowledge from these
memories.
Benefit: Once per day, at the GM’s discretion,
you may make a memory check to see if you
remember anything relevant to the area or situ-
ation you are in. To make a memory check, roll
1d20 and add your character level and your
Charisma modifier. This ability is somewhat
similar to a bardic knowledge check, although
the memories you gain are fragmented and
disjointed.
These brief visions tend to focus on events and
individuals with strong emotional ties to the
person and their history.
Versatile - General
You learn skills more readily than your peers.
Prerequisite: Wisdom 13
Benefit: Choose any two cross-class skills to
become class skills for you.
Special: You may gain this feat more than once.
Each time, you select two additional cross-class
skills to become class skills for you.
Warp Spell - Metamagic
You can cast spells using the raw stuff of the
Infernal planes.
128
Prerequisites: Caster level 12th, any two
metamagic feats, non-good alignment.
Benefit: A warped spell has all of its hit point
damage changed to unholy, which bypasses all
forms of energy resistance. Additionally, crea-
tures with the Good subtype take half again as
much (+50%) damage from a warped spell,
regardless of whether or not the spell allows a
saving throw or if the save is a success or failure.
A warped spell uses up a spell slot two levels
higher than the spell’s actual level.
Weaponbond Spell - Metamagic
You can deliver touch spells through a melee
weapon.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +4, caster level
3rd.
Benefit: You can alter any touch spell with a
casting time of one standard action so that it can
be delivered with a melee weapon attack. You
make a single attack with the chosen weapon as
a swift action in the same round that you cast the
spell. If the attack hits it both deals the weapon’s
normal damage and delivers the spell’s effects.
Your weapon holds the charge of the spell until
its duration expires or until you successfully hit
with your melee attack.
Weakness Strike - General
You know where to target in an individual to
exploit their weaknesses.
Prerequisites: Wisdom 15+, Heal 8 ranks,
Improved Critical, Weapon Specialization
Benefits: When you attack a monster that may
have a specific weakness (susceptibility to silver
for example) and you succeed with a critical hit
with a specific item vulnerability you will do
triple damage and what every effect the vulner-
ability does.
Web Cocoon - Aneishi
You are able to web your opponent in a cocoon
of webs.
Prerequisites: Aneishi
Benefit: In exchange for one of your uses of
webcasting, you may attack with a webbing
cocoon that covers one individual target with
webbing, trapping them in a cocoon making
them entangled. This is a ranged touch attack
with a range of 30 feet, with a range incre-
ment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets
of up to Large size. An entangled creature can
escape with an Escape Artist check ((DC 15 +
½ the Aneishi’s character level + the Aneishi’s
Con modifier) or burst the web with a Strength
check ((DC 19 + ½ the Aneishi’s character level
+ the Aneishi’s Con modifier).
modifier Both are standard
actions. The web has 6 hit points plus 1 per class
level of the Aneishi and takes double damage
from fire.
Web Hide - Aneishi
Certain Aneishi develop web glands across their
hide. With these glands they weave a special hide
of webbing around their skin, which makes them
more durable without affecting their agility.
Prerequisites: Aneishi
Benefits: You can use one of your webcasting
usages to spin a web hide. You then receive a +1
natural armor bonus for the rest of the day. You
must spin a new web each morning.
Web Line - Aneishi
Some Aneishi have learned to spin a web rope
instead of a net.
Prerequisites: Aneishi
Benefits: You can use one of your webcasting
usages to spin a 100-foot-long web line capable
of carrying up to five times your body weight.
With a ranged touch attack (50 50 ft. range incre-
ment),), you may use this ability to shoot a webline
at a target. If it hits, you can use your movement
action to make an opposed Strength check to reel
in the target at a rate of 10 feet per round. You
receive a +4 bonus to this check. The target can
escape with the normal Escape Artist or Strength
check for escaping your webcasting. You can
release the web line at any time as a free action.
You can also use the webline as a rope.
Wings of the Fiend -Khaynite
You have a pair of small bat-like wings
protruding from your back.
Prerequisite: Daemonic Appearance (any
( one
type).
Benefit: You grow wings that are 3 feet tall and
have a 6-foot wingspan. While not capable of
true flight, your wings are useful for jumping and
hovering. You gain a +2 bonus on all Balance
and Jump skill checks.
129
You also gain the spell-like ability to hover,
which functions as the levitate spell except as
noted here. You may use this ability once per day,
but only when you are not encumbered by more
than a light load. Unlike the spell, this effect is
personal only ((you cannot levitate anything other
than yourself, but you can carry objects and even
creatures as long as your total encumbrance does
not exceed a light load
load). This effect requires a
standard action to activate, a standard action to
deactivate, and has a caster level equal to your
total character level. The duration is one minute
(unless you end the effect
per character level (unless
sooner).
sooner ).
Armor and clothing fashioned for you costs an
extra 50% to create, as you must have the armor
fitted to accommodate your wings. This cost
increase applies only to the base cost of the item,
including craft enhancements such as masterwork
or greater masterwork costs. It does not affect
special materials costs or magical enhancement
costs. Existing items may be retrofitted for you
by paying 50% of the base cost.
If you are wearing armor or clothing that has
not been modified to allow your wings to pass
through, then you do not gain any of the benefits
of this feat because your wings do not have the
freedom to move and therefore do not work.
Wings of the Devil - Tainted
You have large bat-like wings.
Prerequisites: Wings of the Fiend.
Benefit: Your wings have grown to a larger size,
5 feet tall with a 10-foot wingspan. You gain a fly
speed of 40 feet with good maneuverability. This
is an extraordinary ability and replaces the levi-
tate portion of the Wings of the Fiend feat.
Your wings are quite substantial and cannot
easily be hidden, which will no doubt affect your
interactions with the superstitious folk. You have
a -10 penalty on Disguise checks to appear as
anything except an Infernal.
You cannot wear any armor or clothing that
has not been modified to allow your wings to
pass through, because they are too bulky. (See
the Wings of the Fiend feat for the cost to have
armor and clothing made or modified to accom-
modate your wings.)
Writhe and Coil - Sobeka
Your serpentine body makes you impossible
to hold on to and naturally adept at squeezing
through tight spaces.
Prerequisite: Kobura Sobeka.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on Escape Artist
checks and a +2 bonus on all grapple checks.

Target: One creature
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
This powerful necromantic spell accelerates
injuries to living tissue, making wounds more
serious. With this spell even a small cut can
cause a subject to bleed to death, as the wound
resists all attempts to stop the flow of blood.
A ranged touch attack must be made against
the subject. If successful, the subject will lose
one extra hit point every time it takes damage
from any source, each round, for the duration of
the spell. This effect does not apply to subdual
damage. Stopping this bleeding requires magical
healing or a Heal check ((DC 15). This spell has
no affect on undead, constructs, or outsiders.

a corpse for at least one year.

This spell transforms a large amount of water
into a burning, caustic acid, although the acid
emits no fumes or smell to betray its nature—it
looks just like normal water.
If cast upon an area of water that is part of a
larger body of water, the water and acid do not
mix. Thus, the spell can create an area of hidden
danger in a lake or large pool. Anyone touching
the water suffers 1d6 points of acid damage.

tentacles that fire forth from the caster’s
outspread hands. The tentacles wrap about any

creatures within the affected area and hold them
tight for the spell’s duration.
Every creature within the area of the spell must
make a grapple check, opposed by the grapple
check of the tentacles. Treat the tentacles
attacking a particular target as a Large creature
with a base attack bonus equal to your caster
level and a Strength score of 19. Thus, its grapple
check modifier is equal to your caster level +8.
The tentacles are immune to all types of damage.
Once the tentacles grapple an opponent, they
knock the target prone and hold him fast until the
spell expires or is dismissed.
The tentacles only grapple those creatures that
are within the affected area when the spell is first
cast.
Others may enter the affected area without fear
of attack even as the tentacles are holding their
targets secure.

touch to fall into a cataleptic state that resembles
death. While in this state, the subject can hear,
smell, and taste, but cannot feel or see.
The subject need not eat, breathe, or drink while
affected by this spell.
Any damage suffered while in this state is halved.
Additionally, the subject is immune to paralyzing
and mind-affecting effects, energy drain, and
poison (so long as initial and secondary damage
both occur while the subject is affected by feign
death; if secondary damage occurs after the spell
has ended, the subject is affected by the poison
normally).

Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
With a blue-white flash of light around your
eyes, you freeze a large amount of water. The
main use of this spell is to freeze the water’s
surface, although one could stack the 10-by-10-
by-1 squares atop one another to freeze a small
body of water all the way down to the bottom.
A 12th level caster could create an ice bridge up

(assuming there is an unfrozen area large enough
below the ice to accommodate them). Whether a
creature moves up or down to avoid the ice is up

Spell Resistance: Yes
This powerful necromantic spell overwhelms a
wounded character or creature, tearing existing
wounds deeply. With this spell even the smallest
of wounds can bring a subject to near-death or,
sometimes, all the way to the grave.
A ranged touch attack must be made against the
target. If successful, for the duration of the spell,
each time the target suffers damage from any
source he suffers 2 additional points of damage
each round until the spell ends. This effect does
not apply to subdual damage. This spell has no
effect on creatures that are immune to critical
hits.
When first affected by this spell the target may
make a Will save that, if successful, reduces the
additional damage to one point per round.
Material Component: A handful of stitches
removed from an unwilling victim’s wound.

As long as a corpse does not enter a square adja-

Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
A cone of black, negative energy flies forth from
your hands, instantly transforming into a dark
cloud of incorporeal warriors that charge all char-
acters and creatures within the affected area.
These ghostly warriors attempt unavoidable
overrun attacks on all affected characters and
creatures, each attempt made as if the caster were
physically there, making the overrun attempt
himself, plus the benefit of the Improved Overrun
feat.
If the ghostly warriors are successful in their
overrun attempt, knocking an opponent prone,
they fade into nothingness just a few feet beyond
their target’s prone form. For each overrun
attempt that fails, the ghostly warriors rebound
back and slam into the caster, dealing 1d6 points
of nonlethal damage as the caster’s body absorbs
the ghostly energy.

Effect: One object or a 20-ft.-square
Duration: 1 round/level ((D)
Saving Throw: Reflex negates; see text
Spell Resistance: No
A glue spell covers a solid surface with a layer
of sticky translucent adhesive. Anyone in the
effect’s area when the spell is cast must make a
Reflex save. If this save succeeds, the creature
is entangled, but not prevented from moving,
though moving is more difficult than normal for
being entangled (see below).). If the save fails,
the creature is entangled and can’t move from its
space, but can break loose by spending 1 round
and making a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 25
Escape Artist check.
Once loose (either by making the initial Reflex
save or a later Strength check or Escape Artist
check), a creature remains entangled, but may
check

move through the glue very slowly. Each full
round devoted to moving allows the creature
to make a new Strength check or Escape Artist
check. The creature moves 5 feet for each full 5
points by which the check result exceeds 10.
An entangled creature cannot run or charge and
takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4
penalty to Dexterity.
The spell can also be used to create a sticky
coating on an item.
Material objects not in use are always affected by
this spell, while an object wielded or employed
by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to
avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails,
the creature is immediately stuck to the item.
Attempts to remove the object from the creature’s
hand, or to pick the item up if it is stuck to
something, take a full round and require a DC
20 Strength check. Note that attempts to pick the
item up will likely cause the creature attempting
it to become stuck to the item.

Spell Resistance: None
A touch from your hand infects the target crea-
ture or object with green slime, doing 1d6 points
of permanent Constitution damage to living
creatures or any other beings with a Constitution
score. It also does 2d6 points of damage against
wood or metal, ignoring metal’s hardness but not
that of wood. It does not harm stone or any other
material.
Unlike the green slime encountered in dungeons,
the green slime from this spell does damage the
moment it touches the creature or object. A crea-
ture that is reduced to 0 Constitution has become
a puddle of green slime.
Getting rid of green slime is difficult. Direct
exposure to sunlight kills it within one round
(although it still does 1d6 points of Constitution
damage before it is burned away) while a remove
disease spell destroys it instantly. The only other
remedy is to burn or freeze it; anything that deals or the target contracts this terrible disease that
cold or fire damage destroys the green slime (and inflicts 3d6 points of damage.

it is a melee reach weapon, you provoke attacks

the water whip to make trip attacks and disarm

You are automatically considered to be profi-

not extend to actual whips. You use either your
Strength or Dexterity modifier, whichever is
higher, for attack rolls with the water whip.
