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.

Corrupting Touch (Su) All ghosts gain this incorporeal touch attack. By passing part of its incorporeal body through a foe’s body as a standard action, the ghost inflicts a number of d6s equal to its CR in damage. This damage is not negative energy—it manifests in the form of physical wounds and aches from supernatural aging. Creatures immune to magical aging are immune to this damage, but otherwise the damage bypasses all forms of damage reduction. A Fortitude save halves the damage inflicted.
Rejuvenation (Su) In most cases, it’s difficult to destroy a ghost through simple combat: the “destroyed” spirit restores itself in 2d4 days. Even the most powerful spells are usually only temporary solutions. The only way to permanently destroy a ghost is to determine the reason for its existence and set right whatever prevents it from resting in peace. The exact means varies with each spirit and may require a good deal of research.

A short, stern faced, beared warrior faces you with hard eyes
Dwarves are a short and stocky race, and stand about a foot shorter than most humans, with wide, compact bodies that account for their burly appearance. Male and female dwarves pride themselves on the long length of their hair, and men often decorate their beards with a variety of clasps and intricate braids. Clean-shavenness on a male dwarf is a sure sign of madness, or worse-no one familiar with their race trusts a beardless dwarven man.

Dark Curse (Su) As a standard action, a dark dancer can make a touch attack against a foe and curse it. The foe must succeed at a DC 12 Will saving throw to resist the effects. Creatures that fail the saving throw take a -2 penalty on all Dexterity and Charisma-based skill checks. This curse is permanent, but the victim of this curse can attempt a new saving throw each day.
Death Throes (Su) When a dark dancer is slain, its body combusts in a flash of bright white light, leaving its gear in a heap on the ground. All creatures within a 10-foot burst must succeed at a DC 13 Fortitude save or be dazzled for 1d6 rounds. Other dark folk within 20 feet must succeed at a DC 13 Will save or be shaken for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Fiery Webs (Ex) The hellwidow can set any of its webs on fire as a free action at the start of its turn merely by touching the webbing. Creatures caught in the webs when they catch fire take 2d6 points of fire damage each round until they escape. After escaping, creatures continue taking this damage each round unless they succeed on a DC 15 Reflex save. A new save can be made each round to extinguish the fire.
Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save DC 23 Fort; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d4 Constitution damage plus 1d6 fire damage and staggered; cure 2 saves. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.
Venom Resistance (Ex) Hellwidows gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws against spider venom.
This massive long-legged giant spider is crimson in color with dull red, barely visible, hourglass-shaped markings on its underside.
Hellwidows are roughly 9 feet long and weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, with males being slightly smaller than females.
Hellwidows are giant spiders that make their home within the Nine Hells. They are believed to be the result of diabolical experiments that crossed giant black widows with devils. These creatures, while possibly related to black widows, are much more cunning and intelligent. Hellwidows dwell on the warmer planes of Hell’s layers, generally avoiding the colder lower planes. Giant web-filled caverns serve as their lairs. When encountered on the Material Plane, it is most often in thick forests or caverns in warmer climates. Evil spellcasters occasionally summon a hellwidow to the Material Plane and strike a bargain with the creature offering food, treasure, or the like in return for some service (usually guarding a location or killing a particular enemy).
Hellwidows mate several times per year with the female laying up to 100 eggs in a single dull gray egg sac. The eggs hatch within 30 days, with only about 25% of the young surviving. Young are blood red in color with dull yellow stripes on their abdomens. Young mature rapidly, reaching adulthood within six months.
Hellwidows are carnivores and prey on various types of other creatures, including lesser devils, fiendish insects, and even other hellwidows. Prey is quickly cocooned in the hellwidow’s webbing, set on fire, and then bitten repeatedly until it succumbs to the widow’s poison. Once the prey is dead, the hellwidow carries it back to its lair to be devoured. Hellwidows prefer to hunt by ambush; usually hiding in dark corners within their webs. When they detect movement, such as a creature becoming entangled in their webs, they quickly move to strike.

During Combat A knight gaunt fights with bladed weapons in battle, preferring longswords, greatswords, and axes to all others. Only when disarmed does it resort to using its claws. A knight gaunt that retains its mount (that is undead now as well) or procures some undead steed to carry it into battle wields a lance in addition to its other weapons. In battle, a knight gaunt is relentless, attacking with its blades until all of its foes are vanquished. Wears the armor it wore when alive and still carries the weapons it wielded in life. Its skin is ash gray in color and its eyes are milky white with fiery red pupils.

Smite Good (Su) Once per day, a knight gaunt can smite good. As a swift action, the knight gaunt chooses one target within sight. If this target is good, the knight gaunt adds its Charisma bonus on its attack rolls and adds its Hit Dice on all damage rolls made against that target. If the target is an outsider with the good subtype or a good-aligned creature with levels of cleric of paladin, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack is doubled. Regardless of the target, smite good attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess. Additionally, the knight gaunt gains a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus to AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. The smite good remains in effect until the target of the smite is dead or until 24 hours have passed.
Weapon Attunement (Su) A knight gaunt gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls with any melee weapon it wields. Additionally, it gains the bleed special attack with any melee weapon it wields.
This desiccated creature resembles a once proud knight fallen from grace. Its armor reveals its former station. The creature’s eyes burn red and its hands end in wicked claws.
A typical knight gaunt stands 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. It wears the armor it wore when alive and still carries the weapons it wielded in life. Its skin is ash gray in color and its eyes are milky white with fiery red pupils.
A knight gaunt is an undead creature created when a paladin falls in battle. Other than a few fleeting thoughts perhaps of the martial training they received in life, these creatures have no memories of their former lives. A knight gaunt often wears the armor it wore in life and wields the weapons it carried into its last battle before rising as undead. Knight gaunts are most often found in the employ of death knights serving as companions or knights-in-training. Others wander the world seeking out goodness wherever they find it, squashing it beneath their steel-booted heel and putting the righteous to their blades. Paladins and clerics of good alignment are hated by many knight gaunts for they represent everything the knight gaunt isn’t, and perhaps once was or once strived to be.
