SPECIAL ABILITIES

Devour Soul (Su)

As a standard action, a baykok can eat the soul of an adjacent dead or dying creature. Such a creature can resist this attack with a DC 16 Fortitude save. If the creature is already dead, it is not entitled to a save, though it cannot have been dead for more than an hour. Creatures affected by this ability can be brought back by a 5th-level (or higher) mystic cure. When the baykok uses this ability, it heals 5d6+10 points of damage and gains the benefit of a haste spell for 4 rounds. This is a death effect.

Dread Howl (Su)

Once per day, a baykok can unleash an earsplitting scream. All living creatures within a 30-foot-radius burst become paralyzed with fear for 1 round unless they succeed at a DC 16 Will save. Creatures that make this save are instead shaken for 1 round. This is a fear effect.

Spectral Needler (Ex)

The baykok’s ghostly pistol fires spectral flechettes that bypass normal armor, targeting a creature’s EAC. In addition to dealing additional negative energy damage, these deadly needles paralyze their targets for 1d3 rounds on a successful hit (DC 16 Fortitude negates). If the baykok scores a critical hit, the duration of the paralysis effect is doubled.
