Will saves instead of their Wisd modifier, and are
immune to insanity and confusion effects. Only a
miracle or wish can remove a derro’s madness. If this
occurs, the derro gains 6 points of Wisdom and loses 6
points of Charisma.
Poison Use (Ex) Derros are not at risk of poisoning
themselves when handling poison. They use Medium
spider venom to poison their crossbow bolts, and
generally carry 10 prepoisoned bolts at all times.
Vulnerability to Sunlight (Ex) A derro takes 1 point of
Con damage after every hour it is exposed to sunlight.

the PCs and the other flees to area 12 to warn Lady
Morilaeth.
Scent (Ex)
This allows a creature to detect approaching enemies,
sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar
odors just as humans do familiar sights.
The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by
sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range
increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet.
Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can
be detected at twice the ranges noted above.
Overpowering scents can be detected at triple normal
range.
When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of
the source is not revealed—only its presence
somewhere within range. The creature can take a move
action to note the direction of the scent. When the
creature is within 5 feet of the source, it pinpoints the
source’s location.
A creature with the scent ability can follow tracks by
smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or
follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no
matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC
increases or decreases depending on how strong the
quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of
the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC
increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for
the Survival skill. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the
effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Daze Standard, Target one humanoid creature of 4 HD or less, Duration 1 round
Target: Humanoid with 4 or fewer Hit Dice will take no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are
not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it.
After a creature has been dazed by this spell, it is immune to the effects of this spell for 1
minute. Will negates. Dazed Condition: The creature is unable to act normally. A dazed
creature can take no actions, but has no penalty to AC.

Sound Burst
Casting Time 1 standard action, Range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Components V, S, F/DF (a
musical instrument), Area: 10-ft.-radius spread
Duration: instantaneous,
Blast an area with a tremendous cacophony. Creatures in the area take 1d8 sonic damage and
must succeed on a Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. Creatures that cannot
hear are not stunned but are still damaged.
Stunned Condition: A stunned creature drops everything held, can't take actions, takes a –2
penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). Attackers receive a +4 bonus on
attack rolls to perform combat maneuvers against a stunned opponent.

Regeneration (Ex) A creature with this ability is difficult to kill. Creatures with regeneration heal
damage at a fixed rate, as with fast healing, but they cannot die as long as their regeneration is
still functioning (although creatures with regeneration still fall unconscious when their hit points
are below 0). Certain attack forms, typically fire and acid, cause a creature’s regeneration to
stop functioning on the round following the attack. During this round, the creature does not heal
any damage and can die normally. The creature’s descriptive text describes the types of
damage that cause the regeneration to cease functioning.
Attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage are not healed by regeneration. Regeneration also
does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation. Regenerating creatures can
regrow lost portions of their bodies and can reattach severed limbs or body parts if they are
brought together within 1 hour of severing. Severed parts that are not reattached wither and die
normally.

Rend (Ex) If it hits with two or more natural attacks in 1 round, a creature with the rend special
attack can cause tremendous damage by latching onto the opponent’s body and tearing f lesh.
This attack deals an additional amount of damage, but no more than once per round. The type
of attacks that must hit and the additional damage are included in the creature’s description.
The additional damage is usually equal to the damage caused by one of the attacks plus 1-1/2
the creature’s Strength bonus.

damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage.
Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or

Before Combat If Lady Morilaeth detects the PCs she casts disguise
self to change her appearance to that of a derro, albeit the tallest
derro in the room.
During Combat Once disguised, Morilaeth joins the revelers,
hoping to get close to the PCs and surprise them with channeled
negative energy. Morilaeth is aware of the effect her fear aura will
have on the mites and derros—namely, when she uses it, most of
them will run from the room—and she doesn’t hesitate to use it. Nor
does she hesitate to use her channel negative energy ability to injure
the PCs
While fighting, Morilaeth repeatedly screams, “You will dream of me!”
Morale If reduced to less than 5 hit points, Lady Morilaeth retreats to
area 13 to regenerate. If she’s unable to make it, she uses feign death
and regenerates.

Night Terrors (Su)
Once a nightmare creature enters a target's mind with its dream or
nightmare spell-like ability, it can attempt to control the target's dream.
If the target fails a Will saving throw, it remains asleep and trapped in
the dream world with the nightmare creature. Thereafter, the
nightmare creature controls all aspects of the dream. Each hour that
passes, the target can attempt another saving throw to try to awaken
(it automatically awakens after 8 hours or if the nightmare creature
releases it). The target takes 1d4 points of Charisma damage each
hour it is trapped in the dream; if it takes any Charisma damage, it is
fatigued and unable to regain arcane spells for the next 24 hours. The
target dies if this Charisma damage equals or exceeds its actual
Charisma score.
Protection from Good (Su) A nightmare creature gains a +2 deflection
bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves against attacks by
good creatures. Furthermore, it is immune to any attempt by a good
creature to posses, charm, or influence it.
Illusion Resistance (Ex)
A nightmare creature automatically disbelieves illusions (no saving
throw required) and has a +4 bonus on saving throws to resist illusion
effects.
Regeneration 5 (Ex)
Good-aligned weapons, silver weapons, and spells with the good
descriptor cause a nightmare creature's regeneration to stop
functioning for 1 round.
Special Attacks: A nightmare creature gains several special attacks.
Save DCs are equal to 10 + 1/2 the nightmare creature's Hit Dice + its
Charisma modifier unless otherwise noted. The nightmare creature's
caster level is equal to its total Hit Dice (or the caster level of the base
creature's spell-like abilities, whichever is higher).
Fear Aura (Su)
All creatures within a 60-foot radius that see or hear a nightmare
creature must succeed at a Will save or be shaken for as long as they
are within the aura. Whether or not the save is successful, that
creature cannot be affected again by the same nightmare creature's
fear aura for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear affect.
Shaken: A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack
rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is
a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked
Frightful Presence (Su)
This ability activates when the nightmare creature charges, attacks
during a surprise round, or succeeds at a DC 15 Intimidate or Perform
check. Its frightful presence has a range of 30 feet.
Nightmare Template
A nightmare creature uses its ability to control dreams to confuse and
frighten its target with horrendous imagery—visions of failure or
betrayal and horrific scenes of murder and death. A nightmare
creature may even allow the target to think it is in control of the dream
or has awakened from a nightmare, only to snatch away that hope and
send its target into a downward spiral of misery and self-doubt.

Domain Spell-Like Abilities
Copycat (Sp): You can create an illusory double of yourself as a
move action. This double functions as a single Mirror Image and lasts
for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level, or until the illusory
duplicate is dispelled or destroyed. You can have no more than one
copycat at a time. This ability does not stack with the Mirror Image
spell. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 +
your Wisdom modifier.
Vision of Madness (Sp): You can give a creature a vision of
madness as a melee touch attack. Choose one of the following: attack
rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. The target receives a bonus to the
chosen rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum +1) and a penalty
to the other two types of rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum –
1). This effect fades after 3 rounds. You can use this ability a number
of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Range 60 ft.
Area cone-shaped emanation
Duration concentration, up to 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw Will negates; see text; Spell Resistance no
You detect surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed
depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious
creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the Intelligence score of
each. If the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points
higher than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round
and the spell ends. This spell does not let you determine the location
of the thinking minds if you can't see the creatures whose thoughts
you are detecting.
3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target's Will
save prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you must cast detect
thoughts again to have another chance. Creatures of animal
intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts.
Each round, you can turn to detect thoughts in a new area. The spell
can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a
thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
Dream
Casting Time 1 minute Components V, S
Range unlimited
Target one living creature touched
Duration see text Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes
Send a message to others in the form of a dream. At the beginning of
the spell, you must name the recipient or identify him or her by some
title that leaves no doubt as to identity. The messenger then enters a
trance, appears in the intended recipient's dream, and delivers the
message. The message can be of any length, and the recipient
remembers it perfectly upon waking. The communication is one-way.
The recipient cannot ask questions or offer information, nor can the
messenger gain any information by observing the dreams of the
recipient. Once the message is delivered, the messenger's mind
returns instantly to its body. The duration of the spell is the time
required for the messenger to enter the recipient's dream and deliver
the message.
If the recipient is awake when the spell begins, the messenger can
choose to wake up (ending the spell) or remain in the trance. The
messenger can remain in the trance until the recipient goes to sleep,
then enter the recipient's dream and deliver the message as normal. A
messenger that is disturbed during the trance comes awake, ending
the spell. Creatures who don't sleep or don't dream cannot be
contacted by this spell.
The messenger is unaware of its own surroundings or of the activities
around it while in the trance. It is defenseless both physically and
mentally (always failing any saving throw) while in the trance.
Nightmare (DC 17/18)
School illusion (phantasm) [mind-affecting, evil]; Components V, S
Casting Time 10 minutes
Range unlimited
Target one living creature Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will negates; see text; Spell Resistance yes
You send a hideous and unsettling phantasmal vision to a specific
creature that you name or otherwise specifically designate.
The nightmare prevents restful sleep and causes 1d10 points of
damage. The nightmare leaves the subject fatigued and unable to
regain arcane spells for the next 24 hours.
The difficulty of the save depends on your knowledge the subject and
the physical connection (if any) you have to that creature.
Knowledge Will Save Modifier
None* +10
Secondhand (you have heard +5
of the subject)
Firsthand (you have met the +0
subject)
Familiar (you know the subject -5

Connection Will Save Modifier
Likeness or picture -2
Possession or garment -4
Body part, lock of hair, bit of -10
nail, etc.
*You must have some sort of connection to a creature of which you
have no knowledge.
Dispel evil cast on the subject while you are casting the spell dispels
the nightmare and causes you to be stunned for 10 minutes per caster
level of the dispel evil.
If the recipient is awake when the spell begins, you can choose to
cease casting (ending the spell) or to enter a trance until the recipient
goes to sleep, whereupon you become alert again and complete the
casting. If you are disturbed during the trance, you must succeed on a
Concentration check as if you were in the midst of casting a spell or
the spell ends. If you choose to enter a trance, you are not aware of
your surroundings or the activities around you while in the trance.
You are defenseless, both physically and mentally, while in the trance.
(You always fail Will saving throws, for example.) Creatures who don't
sleep (such as elves, but not half-elves) or dream are immune to this
spell.

Target one living creature
Duration 1 hour/level or until completed
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
You influence the actions of the target creature by suggesting a
course of activity (limited to a sentence or two). The suggestion must
be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound
reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act
automatically negates the effect of the spell.
The suggested course of activity can continue for the entire duration. If
the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell
ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can
instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the
duration. If the condition is not met before the spell duration expires,
the activity is not performed.
A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a
penalty (such as -1 or -2).

Shadow Walk
School illusion (shadow) [shadow];
Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S
Range touch
Targets up to one touched creature/level
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
To use the shadow walk spell, you must be in an area of dim light.
You and any creature you touch are then transported along a coiling
path of shadowstuff to the edge of the Material Plane where it borders
the Plane of Shadow. The effect is largely illusory, but the path is
quasi-real. You can take more than one creature along with you
(subject to your level limit), but all must be touching each other.
In the region of shadow, you move at a rate of 50 miles per hour,
moving normally on the borders of the Plane of Shadow but much
more rapidly relative to the Material Plane. Thus, you can use this
spell to travel rapidly by stepping onto the Plane of Shadow, moving
the desired distance, and then stepping back onto the Material Plane.
Because of the blurring of reality between the Plane of Shadow and
the Material Plane, you can't make out details of the terrain or areas
you pass over during transit, nor can you predict perfectly where your
travel will end. It's impossible to judge distances accurately, making
the spell virtually useless for scouting or spying. Furthermore, when
the spell effect ends, you are shunted 1d10 x 100 feet in a random
horizontal direction from your desired endpoint. If this would place you
within a solid object, you are shunted 1d10 x 1,000 feet in the same
direction. If this would still place you within a solid object, you (and any
creatures with you) are shunted to the nearest empty space available,
but the strain of this activity renders each creature fatigued (no save).
Shadow walk can also be used to travel to other planes that border on
the Plane of Shadow, but this usage requires the transit of the Plane
of Shadow to arrive at a border with another plane of reality. The
transit of the Plane of Shadow requires 1d4 hours.
Any creatures touched by you when shadow walk is cast also make
the transition to the borders of the Plane of Shadow.
They may opt to follow you, wander off through the plane, or stumble
back into the Material Plane (50% chance for either of the latter results
if they are lost or abandoned by you). Creatures unwilling to
accompany you into the Plane of Shadow receive a Will saving throw,
negating the effect if successful.

The affected creature becomes frightened. If the subject succeeds on

immune to this effect. Cause fear counters and dispels remove fear.
Frightened
A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If
unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a –2 penalty on
all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A
frightened creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee;
indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to
escape.
Shaken
A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws,
skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear
than frightened or panicked.

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive

fat, or in between. You cannot change your creature type (although
you can appear as another subtype). Otherwise, the extent of the
apparent change is up to you. You could add or obscure a minor
feature or look like an entirely different person or gender.
The spell does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen
form, nor does it alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound)
properties of you or your equipment. If you use this spell to create a
disguise, you get a +10 bonus on the Disguise check. A creature that
interacts with the glamer gets a Will save to recognize it as an illusion.

The subject becomes paralyzed and freezes in place. It is aware and
breathes normally but cannot take any actions, even speech. Each
round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end
the effect. This is a full-round action that does not provoke attacks of
opportunity. A winged creature who is paralyzed cannot flap its wings
and falls. A swimmer can't swim and may drown.
Paralyzed
A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A
paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0
and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions. A winged creature
flying in the air at the time that it becomes paralyzed cannot flap its
wings and falls. A paralyzed swimmer can't swim and may drown. A
creature can move through a space occupied by a paralyzed creature

counts as 2 squares to move through.

Saving Throw Will negates (harmless) or Will negates (harmless,

The creature or object touched becomes invisible. If the recipient is a
creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If you cast the spell on
someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless
you can normally see invisible things or you employ magic to do so.
Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible;
items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn
by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a
source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no
visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that
extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible.
Of course, the subject is not magically silenced, and certain other
conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as swimming in
water or stepping in a puddle). If a check is required, a stationary
invisible creature has a +40 bonus on its Stealth checks. This bonus is
reduced to +20 if the creature is moving. The spell ends if the subject
attacks any creature. For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any
spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe. Exactly
who is a foe depends on the invisible character's perceptions. Actions
directed at unattended objects do not break the spell. Causing harm
indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors,
talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut
the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge,
remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so
forth. If the subject attacks directly, however, it immediately becomes
visible along with all its gear. Spells such as bless that specifically
affect allies but not foes are not attacks for this purpose, even when
they include foes in their area.

Upon the casting of this spell, complete silence prevails in the affected
area. All sound is stopped: Conversation is impossible, spells with
verbal components cannot be cast, and no noise whatsoever issues
from, enters, or passes through the area. The spell can be cast on a
point in space, but the effect is stationary unless cast on a mobile
object. The spell can be centered on a creature, and the effect then
radiates from the creature and moves as it moves. An unwilling
creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use Spell
Resistance, if any. Items in a creature's possession or magic items
that emit sound receive the benefits of saves and Spell Resistance,
but unattended objects and points in space do not. Creatures in an
area of a silence spell are immune to sonic or language-based
attacks, spells, and effects.

You call upon the powers of unlife to render the subject blinded or

Blinded
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses
its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most
Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception
skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as
reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All
opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss
chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a
DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed.
Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain
blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can
overcome some of them.
Deafened
A deafened character cannot hear. He takes a –4 penalty on initiative
checks, automatically fails Perception checks based on sound, takes a
–4 penalty on opposed Perception checks, and has a 20% chance of
spell failure when casting spells with verbal components. Characters
who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these
drawbacks and can overcome some of them.

Target or Area one spellcaster, creature, or object
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
You can use dispel magic to end one ongoing spell that has been cast
on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of
a magic item, or to counter another spellcaster's spell. A dispelled
spell ends as if its duration had expired. Some spells, as detailed in
their descriptions, can't be defeated by dispel magic. Dispel magic can
dispel (but not counter) spell-like effects just as it does spells. The
effect of a spell with an instantaneous duration can't be dispelled,
because the magical effect is already over before the dispel magic can
take effect. You choose to use dispel magic in one of two ways: a
targeted dispel or a counterspell.
Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the Summoned Creature: Dire Bat
dispel magic spell. You make one dispel check (1d20 + your caster Dire Bat (CR 2)
level) and compare that to the spell with highest caster level (DC = 11
+ the spell's caster level). If successful, that spell ends. If not, N Large fiendish animal
compare the same result to the spell with the next highest caster level. Init +2; Senses blindsense 40 ft., darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +12
Repeat this process until you have dispelled one spell affecting the Defense
target, or you have failed to dispel every spell. AC 14, touch 11, flat-footed 12 (+2 Dex, +3 natural, -1 size)
For example, a 7th-level caster casts dispel magic, targeting a hp 22 (4d8+4)
creature affected by stoneskin (caster level 12th) and fly (caster level Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +3
6th). The caster level check results in a 19. This check is not high SR 7
enough to end the stoneskin (which would have required a 23 or Fiendish - Resist Cold and Fire 5
higher), but it is high enough to end the fly (which only required a 17).
Offense
Had the dispel check resulted in a 23 or higher, the stoneskin would
have been dispelled, leaving the fly intact. Had the dispel check been Speed 20 ft., fly 40 ft. (good)
a 16 or less, no spells would have been affected. Melee bite +5 (1d8+4)
You can also use a targeted dispel to specifically end one spell Special Attack Smite good
affecting the target or one spell affecting an area (such as a wall of Statistics
fire). You must name the specific spell effect to be targeted in this Str 17, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 2, Wis 14, Cha 6
way. If your caster level check is equal to or higher than the DC of that Base Atk +3; CMB +7; CMD 19
spell, it ends. No other spells or effects on the target are dispelled if Feats: Alertness, Stealthy
your check is not high enough to end the targeted effect. Skills: Fly +9, Perception +12, Stealth +4;
If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell Racial Modifiers: +4 Perception when using blindsense
(such as a monster summoned by summon monster), you make a Special Abilities
dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature. Smite good 1/day as a swift action (adds CHA bonus (+0) to attack
If the object that you target is a magic item, you make a dispel check rolls and damage bonus equal to HD (+4) against good foes; smite
against the item's caster level (DC = 11 + the item's caster level). If persists until target is dead or the fiendish creature rests).
you succeed, all the item's magical properties are suppressed for 1d4
rounds, after which the item recovers its magical properties. A
suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration of the effect.
An interdimensional opening (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily
closed. A magic item's physical properties are unchanged: A
suppressed magic sword is still a sword (a masterwork sword, in fact).
Artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.
You automatically succeed on your dispel check against any spell that
you cast yourself.
Counterspell: When dispel magic is used in this way, the spell targets
a spellcaster and is cast as a counterspell. Unlike a true counterspell,
however, dispel magic may not work; you must make a dispel check to
counter the other spellcaster's spell

Summon Monster III

Components V, S, F/DF (a tiny bag and a small candle)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect one summoned creature
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider,
elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where
you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your
opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the
creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or
to perform other actions. This spell functions like summon monster I,
except that you can summon one creature from the 3rd-level list, 1d3
creatures of the same kind from the 2nd-level list, or 1d4+1 creatures
of the same kind from the 1st-level list. You choose which kind of
creature to summon, and you can choose a different one each time
you cast the spell.
A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another
creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities.
Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that cannot
support them. Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells
or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells with expensive material
components (such as wish).
When you use a summoning spell to summon a creature with an
alignment or elemental subtype, it is a spell of that type. Creatures on
Table: Summon Monster marked with an "*" are summoned with the
celestial template, if you are good, and the fiendish template, if you
are evil. If you are neutral, you may choose which template to apply to
the creature. Creatures marked with an "*" always have an alignment
that matches yours, regardless of their usual alignment. Summoning
these creatures makes the summoning spell's type match your
alignment.

Effect one called outsider of 6 HD or less
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
By casting this spell, you request your deity to send you an outsider
(of 6 HD or less) of the deity's choice. If you serve no particular deity,
the spell is a general plea answered by a creature sharing your
philosophical alignment. If you know an individual creature's name,
you may request that individual by speaking the name during the spell
(though you might get a different creature anyway).
You may ask the creature to perform one task in exchange for a
payment from you. Tasks might range from the simple to the complex.
You must be able to communicate with the creature called in order to
bargain for its services.
The creature called requires a payment for its services. This payment
can take a variety of forms, from donating gold or magic items to an
allied temple, to a gift given directly to the creature, to some other
action on your part that matches the creature's alignment and goals.
Regardless, this payment must be made before the creature agrees to
perform any services. The bargaining takes at least 1 round, so any
actions by the creature begin in the round after it arrives.
A task taking up to 1 minute per caster level requires a payment of
100 gp per HD of the creature called. For a task taking up to 1 hour
per caster level, the creature requires a payment of 500 gp per HD. A
long-term task, one requiring up to 1 day per caster level, requires a
payment of 1,000 gp per HD.
A nonhazardous task requires only half the indicated payment, while
an especially hazardous task might require a greater gift. Few if any
creatures will accept a task that seems suicidal (remember, a called
creature actually dies when it is killed, unlike a summoned creature).
However, if the task is strongly aligned with the creature's ethos, it
may halve or even waive the payment.
At the end of its task, or when the duration bargained for expires, the
creature returns to its home plane (after reporting back to you, if
appropriate and possible).
Note: When you use a calling spell that calls an air, chaotic, earth,
evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.

Lady Morilaeth’s Servants (3) CR 3
Natural Cunning (Ex)
Although minotaurs are not especially intelligent, they possess innate cunning and logical
ability. This gives them immunity to maze spells and prevents them from ever becoming lost.
Further, they are never caught flat-footed.
Powerful Charge (Ex)
When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, its attack deals extra damage in
addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge. The attack and amount of damage
from the attack is given in the creature’s description.
Charge
Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to twice your speed and
attack during the action. Charging, however, carries tight restrictions on how you can move.
Movement During a Charge
You must move before your attack, not after. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares) and
may move up to double your speed directly toward the designated opponent. If you move a
distance equal to your speed or less, you can also draw a weapon during a charge attack if
your base attack bonus is at least +1.
You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and nothing can hinder your movement
(such as difficult terrain or obstacles). You must move to the closest space from which you
can attack the opponent. If this space is occupied or otherwise blocked, you can't charge. If
any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks
movement, slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can't charge. Helpless
creatures don't stop a charge.
If you don't have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can't charge that
opponent.
You can't take a 5-foot step in the same round as a charge.
If you are able to take only a standard action on your turn, you can still charge, but you are
only allowed to move up to your speed (instead of up to double your speed) and you cannot
draw a weapon unless you possess the Quick Draw feat. You can't use this option unless you
are restricted to taking only a standard action on your turn.
Attacking on a Charge
After moving, you may make a single melee attack. You get a +2 bonus on the attack roll and
take a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn.
A charging character gets a +2 bonus on combat maneuver attack rolls made to bull rush an
opponent.
Even if you have extra attacks, such as from having a high enough base attack bonus or from
using multiple weapons, you only get to make one attack during a charge.
Lances and Charge Attacks: A lance deals double damage if employed by a mounted
character in a charge.
Weapons Readied against a Charge: Spears, tridents, and other weapons with the brace
feature deal double damage when readied (set) and used against a charging character.
Darkness
School evocation [darkness]
Level antipaladin 2, bard 2, cleric/oracle 2, inquisitor 2, magus 2, sorcerer/wiz 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, M/DF (bat fur and a piece of coal)
Range touch
Target object touched
Duration 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a 20-foot radius. This darkness causes
the illumination level in the area to drop one step, from bright light to normal light, from normal
light to dim light, or from dim light to darkness. This spell has no effect in an area that is
already dark. Creatures with light vulnerability or sensitivity take no penalties in normal light.
All creatures gain concealment (20% miss chance) in dim light. All creatures gain total
concealment (50% miss chance) in darkness. Creatures with darkvision can see in an area of
dim light or darkness without penalty. Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches and
lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of darkness. Magical light sources only
increase the light level in an area if they are of a higher spell level than darkness.
If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering,
the spell's effect is blocked until the covering is removed.
This spell does not stack with itself. Darkness can be used to counter or dispel any light spell
of equal or lower spell level.
Non-magical light sources do not increase the light level within the spell's area, regardless of
whether the light source is in the area or outside the area.
Unholy Blight

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area 20-ft.-radius spread
Duration instantaneous (1d4 rounds); see text
Saving Throw Will partial; Spell Resistance yes
You call up unholy power to smite your enemies. The power takes the form of a cold, cloying
miasma of greasy darkness. Only good and neutral (not evil) creatures are harmed by the
spell.
The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to a good creature
(or 1d6 per caster level, maximum 10d6, to a good outsider) and causes it to be sickened for
1d4 rounds. A successful Will save reduces damage to half and negates the sickened effect.
The effects cannot be negated by remove disease or heal, but remove curse is effective.
The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither evil nor good, and they are not
sickened. Such a creature can reduce the damage by half again (down to one-quarter) with a
successful Will save.
Sickened
The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill
checks, and ability checks.

Special Abilities
Madness (Ex) Derros use their Charisma modifier on Will saves
instead of their Wisd modifier, and are immune to insanity and
confusion effects. Only a miracle or wish can remove a derro’s
madness. If this occurs, the derro gains 6 points of Wisdom and loses
6 points of Charisma.
Poison Use (Ex) Derros are not at risk of poisoning themselves when
handling poison. They use Medium spider venom to poison their
crossbow bolts, and generally carry 10 prepoisoned bolts at all times.
Vulnerability to Sunlight (Ex) A derro takes 1 point of Con damage
after every hour it is exposed to sunlight.
