Babble (Su) An allip constantly mutters and whines to itself,
creating a hypnotic effect. All sane creatures within 60 feet of
the allip must succeed at a DC 16 Will save or be fascinated
for 2d4 rounds. While a target is fascinated, the allip can
approach it without breaking the effect, but an attack by the
allip does end the effect. Creatures that successfully save
cannot be affected by the same allip's babble for 24 hours.
This is a sonic, mind-affecting compulsion effect. The save
DC is Charisma-based.
Madness (Su) Anyone targeting an allip with a thought
detection, mind control, or telepathic effect makes direct
contact with its tortured mind and takes 1d4 points of Wisdom
damage.
Touch of Insanity (Su) The touch of an allip deals 1d4 points
of Wisdom drain each time it hits with its incorporeal touch
attack. With each successful attack, an allip gains 5 temporary
hit points. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Gibbering Mouther CR 5

Str 10 Dex 13 Con 22 Int 4 Wis 13 Cha 13
SQ Amorphous
Feats Lightning Reflexes, Weapon Finesse
Skills Listen +4, Spot +9, Swim +8
Gibbering (Su) As soon as a mouther spots something edible,
it begins a constant gibbering as a free action. All creatures
(other than mouthers) within a 60-foot spread must succeed on
a DC 13 Will save or be affected as though by a confusion
spell for 1d2 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting
compulsion effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be
affected by the same gibbering mouther’s gibbering for 24
hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Spittle (Ex) As a free action every round, a gibbering mouther
fires a stream of spittle at one opponent within 30 feet. The
mouther makes a ranged touch attack; if it hits, it deals 1d4
points of acid damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 18
Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Eyeless creatures
are immune to the blinding effect, but are still subject to the
acid damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Swallow Whole (Ex)The gibbering mouther can attempt to
swallow a grappled opponent of Medium or smaller size by
making a successful grapple check. (The gibbering mouther
doesn’t actually “swallow” the opponent—it engulfs it within
its amorphous form—but the effect is essentially the same.)
Once inside, the gibbering mouther can use its blood drain
ability. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing 5
points of damage to the gibbering mouther (same AC).
The gibbering mouther’s body can hold 1 Medium, 2 Small, 8
Tiny, 32 Diminutive, or 128 Fine creatures.
Blood Drain (Ex) A swallowed opponent automatically takes
1d4 points of Constitution damage each round.
Ground Manipulation (Su) At will, as a standard action, a
gibbering mouther can cause stone and earth in all adjacent
squares to become a morass akin to quicksand. Softening
earth, sand, or the like takes 1 round, while stone takes 2
rounds. Anyone other than the mouther in that area must take a
move-equivalent action to avoid becoming mired (treat as
being pinned).
Amorphous (Ex) A gibbering mouther is not subject to critical
hits. It cannot be flanked.
Skills
Thanks to their multiple eyes, gibbering mouthers have a +4
racial bonus on Spot checks.
A gibbering mouther has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check
to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It always
can choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or
endangered. It can use the run action while swimming,
provided it swims in a straight line.
Monstrous Black Widow Spider CR 2
N Large Vermin

Poison (Ex) A monstrous black widow spider has a poisonous
bite. Anything damaged by the bite must make a DC 13 Fort
save or suffer 1d6 Str damage. This is the initial and secondary
damage. The save DC is Constitution based.
Web (Ex) A giant black widow spider is a web-spinner and
can throw a web up to eight times per day. This is a ranged
touch attack with a maximum range of 50 feet, and a range
increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets up to one
size category larger than the spider. If the web hits, the target
is Entangled. An entangled creature can escape with a
successful DC 13 Escape Artist check or burst it with a DC 17
Strength check. Both are standard actions. The check DCs are
Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +4
racial bonus.
Web-spinners often create sheets of sticky webbing from 5 to
60 feet square, depending on the size of the spider. They
usually position these sheets to snare flying creatures but can
also try to trap prey on the ground. Approaching creatures
must succeed on a DC 20 Spot check to notice a web;
otherwise they stumble into it and become trapped as though
by a successful web attack. Attempts to escape or burst the
webbing gain a +5 bonus if the trapped creature has something
to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each 5-foot section has
12 hit points and sheet webs have damage reduction 5/—.
A giant black widow spider spider can move across its own
web at its climb speed and can pinpoint the location of any
creature touching its web.
Tremorsense (Ex) A monstrous spider can detect and pinpoint
any creature or object within 60 feet in contact with the
ground, or within any range in contact with the spider’s webs.

incubation period 1d3 days, damage 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Con.
The save DC is Constitution-based.
Distraction (Ex) Any living creature that begins its turn with a
swarm in its square must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save
or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-
based.
Skills
A rat swarm has a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently
checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Swim
checks. A rat swarm can always choose to take 10 on all Climb
checks, even if rushed or threatened. A rat swarm uses its
Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier for Climb
and Swim checks. A rat swarm has a +8 racial bonus on any
Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard.
It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if

The Unabridged Life of Rozahl the Wreckful
by Ilrifeus Pax
Reading this book takes 24 hours of down time. After reading
this book, the reader may make a Linguistics DC 20 check to
learn from what they have read. If successful, in the future,
they may recall a scene from the book in which the main
character, a human barbarian warlord named Rozahl was in
one on one combat with an orc warlord named Gur' Grak of
the Twisted Face tribe. In this scene, Rozahl miraculously
dodged a sword swing that would have surely beheaded him
had he been a man of lesser pedigree. Your current target has
made an attack that reminds you of this scene and you quickly
recall how Rozahl dodged at the precise moment to avoid the
killing blow.
As an immediate action, you may force your target to re-roll a
confirmed critical hit against you. The result of the re-roll is
final. This extraordinary ability is usable once ever. Multiple
characters may benefit from reading this book but a character
that re-reads the book gains no further benefit beside the grand
tale of Rozahl the Wreckful.
