SPECIAL ABILITIES

Fast Healing (Ex)

A sacristan’s fast healing is suppressed for 1 round when it is dealt damage from a silver or good-aligned weapon or spell.

Shadow Scream (Su)

Once per hour as a standard action, a sacristan can burst the bonds that seal its mouth and unleash a cacophony of darkness and soul-shaking howls from the Shadow plane’s darkest depths. This functions as the create darkness universal creature rule, with the following differences. The darkness stays centered on the sacristan, and creatures with darkvision cannot see in this darkness; only creatures with the see in darkness ability (such as kytons) can see inside. All non-kyton creatures within the area are deafened for as long as they remain in the area and must make a DC 17 Will saving throw or become confused for as long as they remain in this area and for 1d4 rounds after leaving. Any creature that falls unconscious while under the confusion effect must succeed at an additional DC 17 Will saving throw or suffer from the curse of shadow shakes (this is an insanity effect). A sacristan’s shadow scream lasts for 3 rounds and ends early if the sacristan wills it or if it is affected by the spell planar barrier.

Shadow Shakes: Type curse; Save Will DC 17; Effect Whenever the victim is in dim light, it becomes shaken. If the light becomes any darker, the victim becomes panicked and attempts to move away from the darkness as quickly as possible. If the victim has darkvision, it does not function for as long as this curse lasts.; Cure The victim must spend 24 hours in an area of darkness. This curse can also be cured in the same manner as an insanity effect.

Unnerving Gaze (Ex)

A creature that succumbs to a sacristan’s unnerving gaze becomes staggered for 1 round.
