SPECIAL ABILITIES
Adaptive Arms (Ex) As an anytime free action, an umbrawler in true form may alter any number of its hands to feature a claw or slam attack. Any such slam attack may include spikes to deal both bludgeoning and piercing damage.
Concealed Alignment (Ex) Fel'fiends radiate no alignment aura. This affects only alignment detection, not effects that cause harm or are otherwise based on alignment.
Cosmic Defiance (Ex) When and wherever it is advantageous for them, stunned or cowering fel'fiends are only considered dazed.
Cosmic Strike (Su) The natural weapons of fel'fiends, as well as any weapons they wield, are considered ghost touch seaborne weapons and overcome all forms of damage reduction based on magic, alignment or material.
Cosmic Tolerance (Su) Fel'fiends adapt to hostile environments as per adapt body (psionic power).
Insulated (Ex) Against umbrawlers in true form, damage dealt by diffuse blunt trauma via battering, buffeting, compression, constriction, crushing, falling, impact collisions, shockwaves or trampling is halved and rounded down.
Malleable Gravitation (Ex) Although legless, umbrawlers in true form manipulate gravity and need not make Fly or Swim checks to undertake complex maneuvers. They still require such checks to resist external influences against them, such as strong winds or currents. When so enabled, one also gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth checks and may apply their Strength modifier instead of their Dexterity modifier to any Fly check they make.
Reign of Darkness (Ex) An umbrawler adds its Charisma bonus (if any) to hit points gained per Hit Die, to Fortitude saving throws, to CMD, and to the number of attacks of opportunity it can make each round. In addition, the enemies of an umbrawler treat its threatened area as difficult terrain.
Shadow Blend (Su) For each step of illumination below bright light where it would receive an attack, an umbrawler in true form gains a degree of concealment (10% miss chance per step, up to 40%) from blending with shadows, overlapping with any gained from a lack of light. An umbrawler can suspend or resume this ability as an anytime free action.
Shadow Bulwark (Su) Once per 10 minutes as a free or immediate action, an umbrawler may gain temporary hit points equal to its Hit Dice for each step of illumination below bright light through most its space. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute.
Shadow Slip, Greater (Su) For each step of illumination below bright light through most its space, an umbrawler gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks.

    Knowledge (planes) +5, Perception +12, Sense Motive +12,
    Sleight of Hand +8, Spellcraft +8, Stealth +18, Swim +16
Racial Modifiers +4 Perception, +4 Sense Motive
Languages Abyssal, Aklo, Ignan, Infernal; telepathy 300 ft.
SQ concealed alignment, cosmic tolerance, no breath, trackless step

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Concealed Alignment (Ex) Fel'fiends radiate no alignment aura. This affects only alignment detection, not effects that cause harm or are otherwise based on alignment.
Cosmic Defiance (Ex) When and wherever it is advantageous for them, stunned or cowering fel'fiends are only considered dazed.
Cosmic Strike (Su) The natural weapons of fel'fiends, as well as any weapons they wield, are considered ghost touch seaborne weapons and overcome all forms of damage reduction based on magic, alignment or material.
Cosmic Tolerance (Su) Fel'fiends adapt to hostile environments as per adapt body (psionic power).
Momentary Freedom (Su) Once per minute as a free or immediate action, a fel'spark may move unhindered for 1 round as per freedom of movement.
Soul'Star (Su) As a free or immediate action, a fel'spark may evoke a single soul'star it can hold between two hands without harm. Any soul'star evoked with this ability ends when no longer held by its evoker or its evoker evokes another.
    A soul'star is a supernatural evocation [fire] effect that functions normally underwater and sheds green light with the brightness of a torch. Such an effect is also a two-handed projectile weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus per 4 effective caster levels. Anyone evoking a soul'star may wield it proficiently to launch ranged touch attacks out to medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) with no range penalty. Each soul'star must be evoked to correspond with a weapon size its evoker can wield with or without penalty. A soul'star of tiny size deals a 1d6 base amount of fel'fire damage. Strength does not apply to such damage. One applies their Charisma modifier to the damage they deal with any soul'star attack. While not subject to resistance or immunity, fel'fire damage is considered fire damage. A soul'star cannot be used to ignite any other fire.
Urgent Resurgence (Su) Once per minute as a free or immediate action, a fel'spark may grant one target creature within medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) another attempt to save against an ongoing spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability, such as dominate person. If that creature is affected by more than one ongoing magical effect, it chooses one of them to retry the save against. If that creature succeeds on the saving throw gained from this ability, the effect ends immediately. This ability never restores hit points or ability score damage, but it does eliminate any conditions such as shaken, fatigued, or nauseated that were caused by a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability. If a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability doesn’t allow a save (such as power word stun), then this ability won’t help a creature recover from it.

Grimoire of Fel Sorcery

Still under construction.

The following spells are inspired by the warlock class from World of Warcraft.


CORRUPT SPIRIT
School necromancy
Level sorcerer/wizard 2, witch 2

Casting Time 1 swift action
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round/level or until discharged (max 10 rounds)
Saving Throw Will negates
Spell Resistance yes

The subject's spirit turns against itself. Each round starting just before your next turn, this spell deals 1d6 damage to the subject. Only one casting of corrupt spirit can remain active on any one creature at any one time. Whenever a creature is affected by a new casting of this spell, every casting of this spell already active on that creature is discharged. When so discharged, this spell deals 1d4 damage to its subject for each round of its remaining duration in which it had yet to deal damage. Damage dealt by this spell bypasses any hardness the subject may possess.


CRIPPLE SPIRIT
School necromancy
Level cleric/oracle 0, sorcerer/wizard 0, witch 0
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target one creature
Duration concentration, up to 1 round/level
Saving Throw Will negates
Spell Resistance yes

This spell staggers its subject by disrupting their spirit. The effect of this spell ends for a subject when their distance from you exceeds this spell's range.

Level sorcerer/wizard 4, summoner/unchained summoner 3, witch 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

IMMOLATE
School evocation [fire]
Level sorcerer/wizard 2
Components V, S
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round/level or until discharged (max 10 rounds)
Saving Throw Reflex negates
Spell Resistance yes

The subject is engulfed by a pernicious blaze. Each round starting just before your next turn, this spell deals 2d4–1 fire damage to the subject. Only one casting of immolate can remain active on any one creature at any one time. Whenever more than one casting of this spell is active on the same creature, those effects are discharged as a single instantaneous effect. When so discharged, this spell deals 2d3–1 fire damage to its subject for each round of its remaining duration in which it had yet to deal damage. This spell and its effects function normally underwater and cannot be extinguished by non-magical means, but they also cannot ignite or otherwise harm anything beyond the subject itself.


PLANAR ARREST
Level sorcerer/wizard 0, summoner/unchained summoner 0
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target one extraplanar creature
Duration 1 round (D)

As imprisonment, except as detailed above. You may only have one planar arrest spell active at any one time. Affecting a subject with a casting of this spell, dispels every other you still have in effect.

While this spell remains active, you can sacrifice up to one prepared spell or unused spell slot of at least 1st level (anytime free action) to extend this spell's remaining duration by 1 minute per slot level + 1 round per caster level (max +5 per slot level).
