Hear Heartbeat (Ex) A banshee can sense the beating hearts of living creatures within 60 feet, as if it had the blindsight ability.
Terror (Su) A creature damaged by the banshee’s touch attack must make a DC 32 Will save. Failure means that the victim cowers in fear for 1d3 rounds. If a target is protected against fear by a dispellable effect (such as heroes’ feast or mind blank), the banshee’s touch attempts to dispel one such effect with greater dispel magic (CL 20th). Negative energy damage caused by a banshee’s touch can only harm the living; it cannot heal undead. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based
Great Wail (Su) Once per round, a queen banshee may wail as a full-round action. The wail lasts until the beginning of her next turn. All creatures within 40 feet of the banshee when she begins her wail, as well as all creatures that end their turn within that radius, must make a DC 32 Fortitude save. (This save is only required once per wail.) Creatures under the effects of a fear effect take a –4 penalty on this save. Creatures that make their save are sickened for 1d6 rounds. Those that fail take 200 points of damage (as if affected by a CL 20th wail of the banshee). If a wailing banshee is damaged during a wail, she must make a Will save (DC 5 + damage taken) to maintain the wail; otherwise it ends. This is a sonic death effect. Banshee wails are supernaturally powerful, and penetrate the effect of any spell of 3rd level or lower that creates silence. The save DC is Charisma-based.
This beautiful, ghostly elven woman glides through the air, her long hair flowing around a face knotted into a mask of rage.
A banshee is the enraged spirit of an elven woman who either betrayed those she loved or was herself betrayed.  Maddened by grief, a banshee visits her vengeance on all living creatures-innocent or guilty-with her fearsome touch and deadly wails.

Breath of Unlife (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, the demonic knight can exhale a blast of negative energy in a 10-foot cone. Creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 20 Reflex save or take 2d4 points of Strength damage. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a demonic knight dies. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Create Spawn (Su) Any humanoid slain by a demonic knight’s breath of unlife becomes a shadow demon in 2d4 rounds. Spawn are under the command of the demonic knight that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
A demonic knight appears as a 6-foot tall humanoid dressed in black iron half-plate armor. Its head is completely hidden beneath a helmet that it never removes. A black iron longsword is slung at its hip. Some demonic knights don capes and other decorations as a badge of station. It is unknown exactly how many demonic knights exist, but they are believed to number no more than nine.

Command Shadow Creatures (Su) Knem Koth can command shadow creatures (those native to the Plane of Shadow, those with the Shadow Creature template, shadows, and greater shadows) via telepathy or by speaking to the creature. The creature can make a DC 32 Will save to resist. This functions like mass suggestion but can affect mindless creatures. Knem Koth can suggest obviously harmful or suicidal acts (though nonmindless creatures gain a +10 bonus on their saving throws against these suggestions). The commanded course of activity can have a duration of up to 1 hour. If Knem Koth issues a new command to a creature, the previous command is discarded. Once a creature succeeds at its save against this effect, it is immune to further commands from Knem Koth for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Create Spawn (Su) A living creature slain by Knem Koth becomes a shadow or greater shadow in 1d4 rounds. These spawn are under the command of Knem Koth and remain so until he is destroyed. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
Shadow Blend (Su) In any illumination other than bright light, Knem Koth blends into the shadows, giving it concealment (20% miss chance). Knem Koth can suspend or resume this ability as a free action.
Shadow Mastery (Su) Any shadow, greater shadow, creature native to the Plane of Shadow, or creature with the Shadow Creature template that attempts to attack Knem Koth with a melee attack must succeed on a DC 32 Will save. If the save fails, the creature cannot attack Knem Koth for 1d4 rounds. Once a creature succeeds on its save, it is immune to this ability for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Strength Damage (Su) Knem Koth’s slam attack and tentacle attack as well as any melee weapon attacks deals 2d6 points of Strength damage to a living creature. This is a negative energy effect. A creature dies if this Strength damage equals or exceeds its actual Strength score.
