 SPECIAL ABILITIES

Glaive Mastery (Ex)

The Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth fights with two medium glaives, wielding each as if

it were a one handed weapon with no penalty for size. These weapons do not increase

his natural reach. He can create up to two +5 unholy glaives in his hands as a free action

and gains a +4 racial bonus on attack rolls and a +8 racial bonus on damage rolls with

glaives.

Heartless (Ex)

The herald has no heart, only a gaping hole that drips black ichor. Placing the Heart

of the Herald in this cavity causes great pain to the herald, but to accomplish this, the

herald must be willing, helpless, or being grappled by the person attempting to place the

Heart in his chest. To place the heart while grappling, the character must succeed at an

additional grapple check as if he were attempting to pin the herald. Once the Heart of

the Herald is placed in his chest, the herald becomes staggered. He can rip the heart free

from his chest as a standard action by making a successful DC 35 Fortitude save. Once

he removes the heart, prying the heart from his hands to drop it is a second standard

action. While he is in possession of the heart, the herald cannot use his maze gaze,

smite lomedaean, or spell-like abilities. Furthermore, an atonement spell that targets the

herald while he is in possession of the heart deals 1d4 negative levels to him (or 2d4+1

negative levels if the heart is still in his chest). If the herald succeeds at a DC 35 Will

save, the negative levels gained are reduced to the minimum possible number (1 or 3,

depending on the presence or absence of his heart). He takes a -5 penalty on saving

throws against atonement spells from worshipers of lomedae. If any atonement spell

causes him to gain 18 or more negative levels, the corruption in him is immediately

blasted from his body and he is restored as the Herald of lomedae.

Infested (Ex)

Anyone who grapples or is grappled by the Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth finds a swarm

of wriggling flesh-eating worms burrowing from the herald's flesh into its own. This

deals 3d6 points of damage per round the grapple is maintained and for 1d3 additional

rounds after the grapple ends. Remove disease or a similar spell destroys these worms,

but immunity to disease offers no protection. Casting remove disease or a similar spell

on the herald suppresses this ability for 1 minute.

Maze Gaze (Su)

The Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth can cast those who meet his gaze into an

extradimensional maze within his mind. This gaze attack functions as a maximized

mythic maze spell to a range of 80 feet, save that a creature can resist the effects with a

successful DC 28 Will save. The walls of this mythic maze shriek and run with blood,

causing a creature trapped within to attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save each round on his

turn to resist taking 2d4 points of Intelligence drain form encroaching madness. The

saving throw is Charisma-based.

Corrupted Aura (Su)

The Hand of the Inheritor's protective aura has been corrupted by his transformation

into the Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth. Against attacks made or effects created by good

creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus

on saving throws to any servant of Baphomet within 20 feet of the herald. Otherwise,

it functions as a magic circle against good effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability,

both with a radius of 20 feet (CL 23rd). The defensive benefits are not included in the

stat block above.

Repulsion Field (Su)

The herald can turn ranged attacks and ranged spells back against their source. This

ability works against only the first 1d4+1 ranged attacks each round. The attacker rolls

or targets himself with the effect, and must make an attack roll or save against the effect

as normal.

Second Skin (Ex)

The Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth does not suffer any maximum Dexterity bonus

penalty or speed reduction when wearing his armor.

Smite Iomedaean (Su)

The first time in a round that the Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth damages a worshiper

of Iomedae with his glaive, the creature struck takes an additional 10 points of

damage and must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or be staggered for 1 round by an

overwhelming sense of despair. Paladins of Iomedae take a -4 penalty on this saving

throw, and are staggered for 1d4 rounds if they fail the save. The herald automatically

confirms all critical hits made against a worshipper of Iomedae. The save DC is

Charisma-based.
