(Fit has no special qualities, this line is absent.) Detsils of the most common special qualitiesare given below. Additional infor- mation can be found in the ersturv descriptive text Blindsight (Ex): Using nonvisual senses, such as sensi- tivity o vibrations, seent, cute heating, or echolocation, the creature maneuversand fights normally without vision. Invisibility and darkness ae irrelevant, though the creature suill cant discern ethereal beings. The ability range is spec- ified in the erearures descriprive text, The creature usually does not need to make Spot or Listen checks to notice crea tures within range of is blindsight ability Damage Reduction (Su): Most weapons (naturel or man- tactared) thar hit the erearure deal less damage than they ondinanly do, (The creatur’s wounds heal immediately orthe hie turns into glancing blow in either case, the opponent keaows the attack was ineffective )The creature tekes normal damage from energy attacks (even nonmagical ones), spells, spell-like abilities, end supernarurl abilities. A magic weapon cor creature with its own damage reduction (DR) ean some- times damage the creature normaly.as noted below.the creature’ e {gnoced (usually Sto 25 points) and the type of weapon that cvercomes the ability For exaruple, the boggle’ entry reads “DR /mi” Each rime a foe hits a bogale with a weapon, the damage dealt by that attack is reduced by 5 poinis(to min imum of 0), However, +1 weapon deals full damage ‘Any weapon more powerful then the type given in the creature DR statistic slso overcomes the ability (See Table 3-15: Damage Reduction Rankings in the DUNGEON Masie’s Guide.) For example, a boggle (DR 5/11) takes normal damage from weapons with 42 or hetter bonuses from magic, but not from nonmagical weapons. Non magical enhancement bonuses (such as those of master work or adamantine weapons) do nor enable a weapon t0 overcome demage reduction. For purposes of harming other creatures with damage indicetes the amount of damage reduction, a creatures natural weapons count as the type that overcomes its own innate damage reduction, However, damage reduction fro spell, such as sbreskn, does not confer this abilicy The amount of damage reduction is irel: evant. For example, a bronze serpent (DR 10/+t) deals fall damage 10 a boggle, as if the bronze serpents bite attack 1 weapon Darkvision (Ex) This ability enablesa creature 0 se lightless conditions, out to a range specified in the crea ture’ descriptive text. Darevision is black and white only (no colors.can be detected). and it does not allow a creature to see something it could nox see in lighted conditions, such as en invisible creature. A crearute with darkvision is vulnerable to geze attacks, just a6 2 creature without dark: vision would bein lighted conditions Fast Healing (Ex) The creature regains hit points at an exceptionally fast rate, usually 1 or more hit points per round, as given in the entry. (For example, an ethereal dep" pelganger has fast healing €.) Fast healing is like natural healing (see Chapter 8 of the Mayer’ Fiandbcok), except that {i does not restore hit points lest from starvation, thirst suffocation, Fast healing only wosks on a creature that is alive. Unless otherwise noted, the ability does notallow lost body parts to be reartached, Immunity: Many creatures are immune to various harinfil effects. For example, creatures with fire immunity take no damage from fice In some ceses, an attack can deal several kinds of damage at once, and in these cases the immunity might negate all, some, or none of the damage, Some aituchs combine smaller amounts of damage in discrete parts. For example an ice torm spell deals 346 points of bludgeoning damage plus 2d6 points of cold damage. A creature that has cold immunity suffers enly the bludgeoning dimage from an ie storm spel, A creature that is immune to bludg- eoning damage suffers only the cold damage from an ice sloin: spell Other forms of attack deal multiple kinds of damage simultaneously. For exaraple, a crearure’ bite attack deals sere made with a piercing, slashing, ond bludgeoning damage, but that damage isnot divided into separate parts In these cases, 2 creature vulnerable to any one of the types of damage delivered takes the attack’ full damage. For example, + creature immune to sleshing damage still suffers Full damage from a bite. ‘Low Light Vision (Ex): This ability is possessed by crea tures whose eyes are extraordinarily sensitive to light, so that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. See “Table 9-7: Light Sources and the Vision and Light section in Chapter 9 of the Players Hondook; also see Low-Light Vision in Chapter 3 of the Dunceow Masten’ Guide Regeneration (Ex Crestures with this ability are dif. cleo kill Damage dealt to the creature is treated a5 sub- dual damage—and the creacure automatically heals this subdual damage ata fixed rate por round, as Biven in the entry (For exemple, an elemental weird has regeneration 10.) Certain attack forms, rypieally fire and acid, deal norimal damage to the creature. The creature’ descriptive text contains these derails ‘A creature with regeneration that has been rendered tunconscious through subdul demage can be killed with « coup de grace (see Helpless Defenders in Chapter 8 of the Hlayer’s Handbook) ifthe type of attack used for the coup de grace deals normal damage tothe crearre. “Attack forms that dont deal hit point damage (for example, a dsinegrte effect and most poisons) ignore regeneration Regeneration also does not restore hit points lost from star vation, thirst, or suffocation. Body tut Regeneration: Some creatureshave a special form of regeneration thatenables them to regrow lost portionsof their bodies or reattach severed limbs or body parts details are given in the creature's entry (For instance, both the ‘datktcnacles and the grell have tentacle regeneration. Resistance to Energy (Ex): The creature disregards some amount of darnage of the given type each rourd (com: monly acid, cold, fre, or electricity). The entry indicates the amount and rype of damage ignored. For example, a gem dragon has fire resistance 30, 50 it disregards the first 30 points of fire damage dealt co it each round. Scent (Ex): This ability sllows the crearure to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell Crearures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans ean identily familiar sights with their eyes, ‘A creature with the scent ability can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell.

The ability otherwise follows the rales for the Track feet (see Chapter 4 of the Players Handbook). Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of sunfuce conditions and poor visibility Spell Resistance (Ex): The creature can avoid the effects of spells, spellike abilities, and magic stems that directly affect it.The entry includes ¢ numerical rating. To determine if a spell or spel-like abiliry works, the spell caster makes a cester level check (roll 1420 ~ caster level. If the resule equals or exceeds the creatute’s spell resist ance (SR) rating, che spell works normally, although the creature s stil allowed a saving throw (if applicable). See Spell Resistance in Chapter 3 of the Duwceow Masten’ Guide for devil ‘Turn Resistance (Ex): The create (usually an undead) is less easily affected by clerics or paladins (see Turn and Rebuke Undead in Chapter § of the Hayer’s Handeot) than it would be otherwise.
