Black Flame Knives (su) - A vrolikai can manifest daggers made of crystallized black flames in each of its four hands as a free action. These weapons function as +1 daggers that bestow one point of life drain on a successful hit. A con negates the drain, although on a critical hit, no save is allowed.
Multiweapon Mastery (ex) - A vrolikai never takes penalties on its attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons.
Death Gaze (su, Death, Gaze) - Players who look at the Vrolikai Demon to target it or move toward it are automatically subject to its death gaze (within 30 feet). They must make a CON save or take 1 permanent point of life drain. This save happens each turn before any of the player's other actions. Players can attempt to avoid the gaze by:
- Indirect Action: Players choose to indirectly look toward the Vrolikai Demon. In doing so, the Vrolikai Demon gains 1/2 cover and cannot be directly targeted by spells. Even so, there's still a 50% chance each round that the player accidentally catches the Vrolikai Demon's gaze and must make a save.
- Blind Fighting: players can wear a blindfold, blind themselves, keep their eyes shut, use darkness, or use other means of fighting without vision. The Vrolikai Demon gains 3/4 cover and essentially functions as if invisible.
Constant Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) - The following spells are always active: True Seeing
Attacks
- Melee - 4 x mwk. black flame knives +30 (1d6+6/19-20 plus Life Drain). Reach: 10 ft. Life Drain - This creature's attack deals 3 HD (+ CON Bonus) worth of life drain and gives it 5 temporary hit points. These numbers double on a critical hit.
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x bite +24 (1d8+5). Reach: 10 ft.
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x sting +24 (1d6+5 plus madness). Reach: 10 ft. Madness - When hit by this attack, the target must make a Wisdom save or take 1d6 charisma drain and become confused for 1d4 rounds. On a successful save, the target is only staggered for 1d4 rounds.
- Melee (Natural) - 4 x claws +28 (1d6+10). Reach: 10 ft.
Gaze Attack (su) - As a standard action, on its turn, the Vrolikai Demon may also attempt to actively gaze at a target. Doing so automatically triggers a save against its gaze (see description above). If the target is actively attempting to avoid the creature's gaze (indirect action), the gaze attack is considered to be against 3/4 cover. If the target is blind fighting, the gaze attack automatically fails.
