“Adamantine Skeleton” is an acquired template that can be added to any skeleton.

CREATING AN ADAMANTINE SKELETON

An adamantine skeleton can be created through the use of an animate dead spell, just like a regular skeleton. In addition to the normal components of the animate dead spell, however, the creation of an adamantine skeleton requires adamantine as a material component. The amount of adamantine depends on the size of the creature being transformed.

Attacks: The ultrahard metal of the adamantine skeleton’s claws give them the natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20. They also gain a +1 enhancement bonus on their attack rolls.

Special Qualities: Adamantine skeletons gain the following special qualities:

Damage Reduction (Ex): An adamantine skeleton has damage reduction 5/–.

Challenge Rating: Increased by +1.

FACE OF STARS, GREATER

Those who peer deep into the sky of the Dreaming can discover higher orders of understanding and hidden constellations hidden amongst its stars.

Spirit Circle: 7^th

Pact Check DC: 30

Physical Sign: In darkness you glow as if illuminated with faint starlight (providing dim illumination within 5 feet).

Influence:

• Dislike going indoors.
• Linger in old and historic locales.

Granted Powers:

• Detect Scrying: At all times while bound to the Greater Face of Stars, you immediately become aware of any attempt to observe you by means of a divination (scrying) spell or effect, as per a detect scrying spell.
• Lore of the Stars: At will you can attempt to consult the Greater Face of the Stars through its cryptic whispers (see below) to discern legends about an important person, place, or thing. This ability works as per a legend lore spell. If it would normally take more than 1 day to complete the casting of legend lore, you must form a pact with the Greater Facer of the Stars each day in order to continue your consultation of the lore of the stars.
• Reflected Starsight: As a standard action, if you become aware that you are being scried you can immediately begin scrying the scrier as if you had successfully used your starsight ability. You can do so even if you know nothing about the scrier, and you can continue to scry him even if he ends his own scry. This reversal does not end the original scry.
• Resist Scrying: Your connection with the Faces of Stars places part of you above the normal constraints of reality. At all times while bound to the Face of Stars, you gain a +5 bonus on saving throws to resist scrying attempts.
• Starsight: At will you can see and hear a creature at any distance, as per a scrying spell.
• Starsight Blast: As a standard action you can channel a blast of destructive energy through your starsight at its subject. The energy inflicts 1d4 points of damage per two effective binding levels (maximum 10d4). If the target succeeds on a Reflex save, however, the blast reflects back through the scry link and strikes you (you may attempt a Reflex save to negate the damage). In either case, the starsight blast ends the starsight.
• Whisper of the Stars: While bound to it, the Greater Face of Stars murmurs constantly into your ears, allowing you at will as a free action to make a bardic knowledge check with a bonus equal to your effective binding level + Intelligence modifier.
• Window to Elsewhere: Using your connection to the Face of Stars you can spend one hour creating a window-like aperture through which you can view another location, as per the window to elsewhere spell.

WINDOW TO ELSEWHERE
Divination
Level: Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: One hour
Range: See text
Effect: A one-way windowlike aperture
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell creates a windowlike aperture through which you view another location. Unlike scrying, the window allows you to view a specific location, not a specific person. Thus, it uses a different means to determine success, more like teleporting than scrying.

The window is a vertical oval 4 feet tall. This one-way magical hole allows you to look into the desired location and observe all that transpires there, but not interact with or affect it normally. You cannot choose or change the position, orientation, or angle of the window, but if you successfully create the window to view the desired locale, it always provides a good view of the place (unless new obstructions arise in the locale).

You can use any spell that affects scrying through a window to elsewhere just as if it were a scrying spell. Any creature in the viewed location with an Intelligence of 12 or higher can notice the window by making an Intelligence check (DC 20). Even if the creature notices the window, however, it remains a one-way view, so the creature cannot look back in—he merely knows someone might be viewing him.

When creating the window, choose a place known to you for the window to look into — somewhere you have been or had described to you. To determine whether the window looks out upon the place you want it to, roll on the table on the next page.

Familiarity: “Very familiar” refers to a place where you have been very often and where you feel at home. “Studied carefully” is a place you know well, either because you’ve been there often or because you have used other means (such as scrying) to study the place. “Seen casually” is a place you have seen more than once but with which you are not very familiar. “Viewed once” is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic. “Description” is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else’s description, perhaps even from a precise map.

“False destination” is a place that doesn’t exist, such as if you have mistranslated an ancient tome and tried to look into a nonexistent treasure vault that you believe you read about, or if a traitorous guide has carefully described an enemy’s sanctum to you wholly inaccurately. When looking into a false destination, roll 1d20+80 to obtain results on the table, rather than rolling percentile dice, since there is no real location for you to hope to see or even be off target from.

On Target: The window looks into the place you want.

Off Target: The window looks into a location a random distance away from the desired location in a random direction. Distance off target measures 1d10 × 1d10 percent of the distance between you and the original location. If the door goes to another plane, the off-target location is another plane.

Similar Area: The window looks into a location that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area. Generally, you look into the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, you could conceivably look into somewhere else across the globe.

Mishap: The window’s energy explodes around you, inflicting 3d6 points of damage to you and all within 10 feet of you.

Material Component: An oval pane of quality glass with a silver frame, worth at least 500 gp

JELADORA, THE PRISMED WITCH

Jeladora dances through the Dreaming, wearing a flowing gown of jagged, ever-shifting light. She rules over the dappled forest light; the icy glare of the frozen snow; the umber beams of sunset; the soft glow of the campfire. She is quick and subtle; rarely seen save for a glimpse at a time.

Spirit Circle: 8^th

Pact Check DC: 35

Physical Sign:A prismatic vortex which swirls around the body.

Influence

• Laugh at inappropriate times.
• Cannot willingly enter areas of darkness or shadow.

• Displacement: At will, you can bend the light around you, creating an effect identical to a displacement spell.
• Prismatic Spray: As a standard action, emitted from the eyes as per the spell.
• Prismatic Sending: As a standard action, you can send either a single image, a message of no more than twenty-five words, or a single burst of colored light which appears in the air at a spot you designate within 1 mile per effective binding level. The message is refracted into many different beams of light until it is refocused at its destination, and cannot be perceived in its passage. You can cause the message to move as slowly as 1 mile per hour or as quickly as 1 mile per round.

MURMAUTH, THE MAELSTROM

A primordial storm cloud of roiling elemental forces. Murmauth is a rageful, destructive force within the Dreaming. A destroyer of imagined worlds, endlessly seeking to unmake a realm without substance.

Spirit Circle: 7^th

Pact Check DC: 30

Physical Sign: Veins glow brightly through the skin in a cascade of colors according to the most recent element invoked (green for acid; blue for cold; purple for electricity; red for fire). If elemental strikes are rapidly invoked in succession, a roiling storm cloud will begin to gather around the binder’s head.

Influence:

• Quick to anger. Tempestuous.
• Must seek revenge for any perceived slight or insult.

Granted Powers:

• Elemental Cascade: If you use your elemental strike to charge two separate weapons with different energy types and strike a single opponent with both attacks in the same round, the target must succeed at a Fortitude save or become shaken by the elemental cascade for 1 round for every two effective binding levels.
• Elemental Strike: As a free action, you can infuse a melee weapon (or melee touch attack) with acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Your next melee attack deals an extra 1d6 points of the chosen energy type.
• Maelstrom’s Might: At all times while bound to Murmauth, you gain a +4 bonus to Strength.
• Shield of Earth: At all times while bound to Murmauth, you gain a +3 enhancement bonus to natural armor. This bonus improves to +4 at 16th level and +5 at 20^th level.

URAGOG, THE KNIGHT OF SCYTHES

The skeletal, undead Knight of the Dreaming is marked by the midnight-black armor he wears and the grim, cackling laugh which echoes through the night behind him. He is the personification of broken honor.

Spirit Circle: 7^th

Pact Check DC: 30

Physical Sign: Those who look closely at your eyes seem to see empty, skeletal eyesockets.

Influence:

• Cannot make any promise or oath.
• Must kill those who beg for mercy.

Granted Powers:

• Aura of Fear: At all times while bound to Uragog, living creatures within 5 feet must succeed at a Will save or become frightened. Creatures that make their saving throw are shaken for 1d6 rounds.
• Death Attack: At all times while bound to Uragog, you can perform a death attack by studying a target for 3 rounds and then making a sneak attack with a melee weapon. (Once you have completed the 3 rounds of study, you must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds. If you do not possess the ability to make sneak attacks, you can still make a death attack as long as you meet the normal criteria for sneak attacks.) If the attack deals damage, the victim must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or suffer the additional effect of either paralysis or death (your choice). The victim of a paralysis effect is paralyzed for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per effective binding level. The victim of a death effect dies.
• Death Knight’s Grace: At all times while bound to Uragog, you gain a +16 competence bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks.
• Smoke Form: As a standard action, per the gaseous form spell. (You do not lose your ability to assume smoke form even though you lose all other supernatural abilities while in gaseous form.)
• Summon Nightmare: As a standard action, you can a summon a nightmare as per a summon monster spell to serve as your mount.
• Warrior’s Proficiencies: At all times while bound to Terrior, you are considered proficient with all simple and martial weapons, all armor (heavy, medium, and light), and all shields (including tower shields).

Go to Dream Pacts (Part 1)

CATAR, THE ILL WIND

Catar appears in the Dreaming as a whirlwind carved into the form of a human man. His voice is the howl of a tornado hushed to a roaring whisper. He is the ill wind of sour fortune and a manifestation of bad luck. He bears about him the hot, dry despair of the desert.

Those shielded by Catar’s presence, however, can twist fortune to their own ends. He makes a poor companion, but a worthy ally.

Spirit Circle: 5^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: Hair constantly tossles as if caught in a strong wind.

Influence:

• Critique any plan with worst case scenarios.
• Cannot gamble or play games of chance.

• Luck’s Favor: At will as an immediate action, any luck bonuses you gain from any source are increased by +1 for 1 round.

CHARABIM, GUARDIAN OF THE BLESSED CHILDREN

Blessed children are the spirits of those who have yet to be born into the world. The raw future-potential of their spirits feed a vast realm within the Dreaming which is difficult or impossible for those who have been born into the world to return to again. This realm is guarded by Charabim, a powerful Spirit Lord whose blessing is often sought at moments of birth and rebirth.

Charabim usually manifests as a winged man with flaming hair. He is often stern and unforgiving, but never without compassion.

Spirit Circle: 5^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: Eyes glow with a bright, white light. White-feathered wings on the back (insufficient for flight) which also glow softly with a white light.

Influence:

• Protect the young and helpless.
• Must attack undead.

Granted Powers:

• Paralysis of the Lost Soul: As a standard action, you can make a touch attack to paralyze a living soul by temporarily returning their soul to the misty borderlands surrounding the realms of the Blessed Children within the Dreaming. The touched creature must succeed on a Will save or be paralyzed for a number of rounds equal to ½ your effective binding level. Each round on its turn, the paralyzed creature can attempt a new saving throw as a full-round action, with success returning their soul to their body and ending the effect immediately.
• Speak with Dead: At will as a standard action, as per the spell.
• Summon the Blessed Child: You can summon a blessed child as per a summon monster spell. You can summon no more than a single a blessed child at a time, and if the blessed child is destroyed or lost you cannot summon another for 1 hour.

FASSA, THE LADY OF THE STORMY SEAS

Fassa is the drowner of sailors and the wrecker of vessels. She is also the beauty of the ocean’s ravages and the swirling of the deeps. She has storm-tousled black hair, and sea-gray eyes. Her demeanor is surprisingly placid considering the wrath of her manifested rage.

Spirit Circle: 6^th

Pact Check DC: 26

Physical Sign: Anyone touched receives a small, harmless electrical shock.

Influence:

• A love of the water, but feel the need to disrupt any placid surface.

Granted Powers:

• Freedom of Movement: As a swift action, you benefit from freedom of movement, as per the spell.
• Immunity to Electricity: At all times while bound to Fassa, you gain immunity to electricity damage.
• Ocean’s Friend: At all times while bound to Fassa, you gain a swim speed equal to your land speed and can use the run action while swimming in a straight line. You also gain a +8 racial bonus to Swim checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.
• Storm’s Fury: As a swift action, you can charge a melee attack or melee touch attack with +1d6 electricity and +1d6 sonic damage. If the attack misses, the bonus damage is harmlessly discharged.

KARNAK, LORD OF THE DREAMSHREDDERS

The karnaxic are strange admixtures of boiling shadow and hard, sharp metal. They are often seen running in packs, using their long, scythe-like claws to rip apart the structures of the Dreaming itself, rendering it back into great ribbon-like clouds of primordial chaos. Some view of them as mindless destroyers, while others think them a natural (albeit violent) part of the Dreaming’s chaotic nature. They have been known to pose a danger to dreamers, but most often leave them alone. They are particularly plentiful along the borderlands of the Tainted Dreaming.

Bearing features similar to the karnaxic but standing upright like a man, Lord Karnax is often seen running with them as their pactleader. He is stern of countenance, but given to feral rages. He keeps the karnaxic in check.

Spirit Circle: 6^th

Pact Check DC: 26

Physical Sign: The fingers lengthen into sharp, curved points of cold iron, forming karnaxic claws.

Influence:

• A desire to take control of any situation.
• Easily enraged by insubordination or contradiction.

Granted Powers:

• Dream Strengthening: At all times while bound to Karnax, the saving throw DC (if any) of special abilities granted by other spirit lords you are currently bound to increase by 1 and your effective binding level is increased by 1 for the purpose of determining the effects of granted powers.
• Karnaxic Claws: The karnaxic claws grant you one claw attack per hand dealing 1d6 points of damage (for Medium-size creatures). Claw attacks are made at your full Base Attack Bonus and you add your full Strength bonus to the damage you deal. The claws are considered cold iron weapons. You cannot use this ability if you have suppressed Karnax’ physical sign.
• Planar Attunement: At all times while bound to Karnax, you are protected from the natural dangers of a specific plane (including dream realms). These dangers might include extreme temperatures, pervasive energy, poisonous air, and the like. This protection only extends to attributes of the plane itself (not to dangers which are merely contained within the plane). You can change the plane you’re attuned to as a standard action.
• Rend: If you hit with all karnaxic claw attacks, you latch on your target’s body and rend their flesh. The attack automatically deals twice the normal damage of your karnaxic claw attack (including your Strength modifier) in addition to the normal damage from the claw attacks. You cannot use this ability if you have suppressed Karnax’ physical sign.

MESSAMIS, THE EMPTY CITY

As I plunged among the shadowy mansions, along the streets from which visible twilight issued to envelop me, it seemed that I was going farther and farther away from my memories at every step. I had no idea how far I had gone, nor how long I had roamed among those houses that hardly seemed as if they could be peopled by any but the sleeping or the dead. And now I knew with a terrible certitude that this one event had broken away from the sequence of time and had found for itself a setting of appropriate gloom and solemnity; or perhaps had even built around itself the whole enormous maze of that spectral city. (Clark Ashton Smith, “A Night in Malneant”)

Within the Dreaming there lies a city in which every building is tenantless and every street lies empty. It is a dread and dreary thing. A conduit can be opened to that place, and the strength of its vast and hollow emptiness drawn into the natural world.

Spirit Circle: 6^th

Pact Check DC: 27

Physical Sign: When speaking, the voice seems to reverberate with the sound of a crowded room.

Influence:

• Must seek out the company of others. Cannot stand being alone.

Granted Powers:

• Doors of Messamis: Once per day as a standard action, you can step through one door or portal and emerge through another. In all other ways (determining range, etc.) treat this as a dimension door spell. At 10^th level you can use portal step twice per day and treat it as a teleport spell. At 15^th level you can use portal step three times per day and treat it as a plane shift spell.
• Ghosts of the Empty City: As a standard action you can animate objects, as per the spell.
• Guide to the City: At all times while bound to Messamis, you gain a +6 insight bonus to Gather Information and Knowledge (local) checks.
• Rage of Messamis: As a swift action, you can cause a 30-ft.-radius of stone or dirt to rumble shift. Each round on your turn, creatures within the area must make a Reflex save or Balance check or fall prone. Creatures within the area can only move at half speed, attacks made by creatures standing within the area suffer a -2 penalty, and spellcasting within the area requires a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level). The effect lasts for 1 round per effective binding level.
• Streets of the Empty City: Even when standing on the bustling streets of a living city, a part of you dwells still on the empty streets of Messamis. At all times while bound to Messamis, you can move at your normal rate when moving through a crowd.
• Voice of Messamis: At all times while bound to Messamis, you can speak with any citizen of a city, as per the tongues spell.

NENTAI, THE THREE EYES

The Nentai are the three eyes of sight: Sight of the present, sight of the future, and sight of the past. They can appear floating in air; as a trio of trios in a flying eye tyrant; set as triangular gemstones upon a wall; as baubles passed between the hands of crones; and so forth.

Spirit Circle: 5^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: Three small eyes orbit your head.

Influence:

• Must seek out and attempt to view historic events as they occur.
• Must defer to those older and seek to protect those younger.

Granted Powers:

• All-Around Vision: At all times while bound to the Nentai, the extra eyes of the Nentai allow you to look in any direction. You gain a +4 bonus on Spot and Search checks and opponents gain no benefit while flanking you. However, you cannot avert or close your eyes when facing a creature with a gaze attack. You cannot use this ability if you have suppressed the Nentai’s physical sign.
• True Seeing: At all times while bound to the Nentai, as per the spell.
• Vision of Divination: At will you can look through the eye of the Nentai to ordain the future. It requires 10 minutes to peer through the veils of time, but the result works like a divination spell except that the outcome of the goal, event, or activity must be visible from your current location. (For example, you could ask about the outcome of opening a door you could see, but not about the outcome of opening a door on the other side of town.) You cannot use this ability if you have suppressed the Nentai’s physical sign.
• Vision of History: At will you can look through the eye of the Nentai to discern the hidden secrets of the past. It requires 1d4 x 10 minutes to peer through the veils of time, but the result works like a legend lore spell except that it can only reveal a cryptic vision of events as they occurred within sight of your present location. You cannot use this ability if you have suppressed the Nentai’s physical sign.

NESSERIK, THE SERPENT OF THE GRAVE

When one goes seeking visions of the dead within the Dreaming, they may find the gray-scaled Lord Nesserik curled upon their grave. Nesserik can be thought of as sly and cruel, but respects and embodies the divide between the quick and the dead. His voice is sibilant and his words dark.

Spirit Circle: 6^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: Skin becomes gray-scaled and incisors grow to become Nesserik’s fangs.

Influence:

• Cannot receive magical healing unless at negative hit points.

Granted Powers:

• Aura of Despair: At all times while bound to Nesserik, creatures within 10 feet suffer a -2 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws, and weapon damage rolls as a mind-affecting fear effect.
• Ethereal Sight: At will, you can see onto the Ethereal Plane. You remain simultaneously aware of the Material Plane, but are distracted by your dual vision and suffer a -2 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws.
• Ghost Touch: At all times while bound to Nesserik, your melee attacks can strike incorporeal creatures. Their normal 50% chance to avoid damage does not apply.
• Nesserik’s Fangs:  Nesserik’s fangs grant a natural bite attack that deals 1d4 points of damage and a poison that deals 1 point of Constitution damage (Fort negates). The attack can be made at will, but the poison can only by excreted once every 5 rounds. You cannot use this attack if you have suppressed Nesserik’s physical sign.
• Pounce: At all times while bound to Nesserik, when you charge a foe you can make a full attack, including your bite attack, at the end of the charge.
• Sense Life: At all times while bound to Nesserik, you notice and locate living creatures within 10 feet as per the blindsense ability. At will as a free action you can also sense how near living creatures within this range are to death, as per the deathwatch spell.

PORTHAS, THE ROCK OF AGES

A great face carved from stone. A boulder which rolls forever downhill. A cliff face with eyes which peer deep into the past. Porthas can take many forms, but always he has the endurance of granite and age unaccountable. He speaks with the voice of a canyon’s erosion. Though he has little patience for the quick tempers of youth, he is slow to anger.

Spirit Circle: 5^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: The eyes grow milky-white with age and the voice rumbles like tumbling boulders.

Influence:

• Impatience (may inflict a -2 penalty on Diplomacy checks at DM’s discretion).
• A thirst for knowledge (must take time to study any book or other source of esoteric knowledge that comes into their possession).

Granted Powers:

• Face of Eternity: As a move action, you reveal the face of Porthas as a gaze attack. Creatures looking up you are awed can become unable to attack you or target you with any hostile spell or effect for 1 round. The effect is broken if you take any hostile action.
• Knowledge of Porthas: At all times while bound to Porthas, you gain a +8 bonus on Knowledge checks.
• Read Thoughts: As a full action you can target a single creature within 5 feet per effective binding level as per a detect thoughts spell.
• Stone’s Embrace: As a standard action, you can meld with stone, as per the spell. When you choose to step out of the stone, however, you can emerge from any surface within 5 feet per effective binding level.

SAPHASTOS, THE DARK DREAMER

Saphastos is drawn to lucid dreamers and masters of the Dreaming Arts. Many consider him to be a manifestation of the dreamer’s own dark thoughts and fears, reflected back to them through the lensing of the Dreaming. Others think him to be a dark demiurge of the Dreaming itself.

Spirit Circle: 6^th

Pact Check DC: 25

Physical Sign: Although they can see normally, the binder’s eyes are shut.

Influence:

• Must treat illusions as if they were real, even if they have been disbelieved.

Granted Powers:

• Dream Gliding: At all times while bound to Saphastos, half of you remains within the Dreaming. You gain a partial incorporeality, allowing you ignore the effects of difficult terrain and pass through enemy spaces (although not through walls or other solid barriers). Attacks of opportunity targeting you have a 50% miss chance.
• Mind Blank: At all times while bound to Saphastos, as per the spell.
• Major Image: As a standard action, as per the spell.
• Phantasmal Killer: As a standard action, as per the spell, targeting any creature within 10 feet per effective binding level.
