Damage Reduction 5/Piercing (Ex): A stygilor ignores the first 5 points of
damage dealt by any nonpiercing
weapon.
Disease Sense (Ex): A stygilor can sense whether a
creature is infected with a
disease merely by being within 10 feet of it. It cannot sense
nannite infection (see the "
Etoile" entry for details).
Frightful Presence (Ex): A stygilor can use the
Frightful Presence feat once per round as a free action. All
creatures within 10 feet that can see the stygilor and have fewer levels or Hit Dice than the stygilor must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the stygilor's Hit Dice + its Charisma modifier) or take a -2 penalty on
attack rolls,
saving throws, and
skill checks for 1d6+2 rounds. A successful save grants immunity to the stygilor's
frightful presence for 24 hours.
Creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or lower are unaffected. This is a mind-affecting
ability.
Invisibility
(Sp): A stygilor can use
invisibility at will (caster level 6th) as an
attack action. It often uses this
ability to move through hospital wards unseen.
Telepathy (Su): A stygilor can communicate telepathically with any
creature within 100 feet that has a language.
Wounding Gaze (Su): As a free action, a stygilor can fix its gaze upon a single
creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the stygilor's Hit Dice + its Charisma modifier) or take 1d4+2 points of
damage, as though struck by one of the stygilor's horrible claws. The target need not be looking at the stygilor, and wounds inflicted by this attack leave nasty scars once healed. This is a mind-affecting
ability. The save DC is Charisma-based.
