bonuses and deals damage normally
if it hits, though the target of the
attacks can benefit from cover or
concealment.
BLOODHOUND
Divination
Level: Ranger 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 24 hours (D)
A white film slips over your vision.
Strangely, your eyes seem more focused and
you note barely perceptible traces of passage
that you had missed before.
If you fail a Survival check to track a
creature while this spell functions, you
can immediately attempt another roll
against the same DC to reestablish the
trail. If the reroll fails, you must search
for the trail for 30 minutes (if outdoors)
or 5 minutes (if indoors) before trying
again.
A blood sirocco leeches away life
by drawing blood into
its howling winds
BLOODSTAR
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 4
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: A bloodstar
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
In a ruby flash a blood-colored, glowing
crystal appears near your foes to suck the
blood from their wounds.
You create a magic construct called
a bloodstar that shoots from your
hand and hovers in the air anywhere
within the limit of the range (each
round, you can move the bloodstar
anywhere within range with a standard
action spent concentrating on the new
position). The bloodstar pulses with
ruby light (providing illumination
in a 20-foot radius). Any creature you
initially designate within 10 feet of the
bloodstar that takes damage from any
source must make a saving throw. On
a failed save, the victim takes 1 point
of Constitution damage. Each time
victims are damaged, they can attempt
new saves.
The bloodstar cannot be attacked or
harmed by physical attacks.
Focus: A ruby worth at least 30 gp.
BODAK’S GLARE
Necromancy [Death, Evil]
Level: Abyss 8, Cleric 8
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 30 ft.
Target: One living creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
You invoke the powers of deep darkness and
your eyes vanish, looking like holes in the
universe itself.
Upon completion of the spell, you
target a creature within range that can
see you. That creature dies instantly
unless it succeeds on a Fortitude save.
The target need not meet your gaze.
If you slay a humanoid creature with
this attack, 24 hours later it transforms
into a bodak (MM 28) unless it has
been resurrected in the meantime. The
bodak is not under your command,
but can be controlled as normal with
a rebuke undead check.
Focus: A black onyx
gem worth at least
500 gp.
