SPECIAL ABILITIES

Cache Capacitor (Su)

A zurkhan adviser can expand its spell cache into a cache capacitor. As part of regaining its spells each day, a zurkhan adviser can cast a up to three spells into its spell cache and gain its effect continuously for 24 hours. A zurkhan adviser’s cache capacitor can hold any of the following spells: arcane sight, darkvision, detect radiation, disguise self, flight (spell level 3rd), keen senses, lesser resistant armor, life bubble, see invisibility, spider climb, or tongues.

Phase Shot (Su)

A zurkhan adviser can expend 1 Resolve Point to fire a single shot from his blue star plasma pistol (or any other small arms) at a target known to him within 40 ft. The shot travels straight to the target, passing through any nonmagical barrier in its way, ignoring hardness and Hit Points (any magical barrier, such as a wall of force, stops the shot). This ability negates cover and concealment modifiers, but otherwise the attack is rolled normally.

Spell Cache (Su)

A zurkhan adviser creates a spell cache that allows it to store and access spells. The zurkhan adviser does not need its spell cache to cast spells, but once per day, it can activate its spell cache to cast any one spell it knows and is capable of casting.
