Umbral Court Agent

Unnerving Gaze (Su)

Level: 5


Source: Paths of Prestige, p. 59

At 5th level, an Umbral Court agent gains a gaze attack similar to the kyton ability of the same name. Creatures within 30 feet of the Umbral Court agent must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + the Umbral Court agent’s level + the Umbral Court agent’s Wisdom modifier) or be shaken for 1 round. The Umbral Court agent can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to his level; these rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is a swift action. The Umbral Court agent is immune to the unnerving gaze of kytons (whether or not his own unnerving gaze is active). This is a mind-affecting fear effect that follows all the normal rules for a gaze attack. As the Umbral Court agent gains levels, his unnerving gaze grows more potent. At 7th level, creatures that fail their save are shaken for 1d4 rounds. At 9th level, they are staggered for 1 round and shaken for 1d4 rounds after.
