+1 seeking light crossbow, +1 bolts (24), +1 icy burst bolts (2), potions of
bull’s strength and cat’s grace, gold ring (125 gp), 99 gp
Blade of Slumbering Wounds: This +2 longsword has a tapering blade and a pommel covered in strange, ancient symbols. Five times per day, it forces a foe it strikes in combat to make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or fall asleep, as if affected by a sleep spell, regardless of Hit Dice. Further, if a blow from the sword puts a foe into the dying category (generally between –1 and –9 hp), the foe automatically and immediately stabilizes.
In other words, the wounds from the blade never bleed. Lastly, the wielder of the blade of slumbering wounds can steal sleep from a slumbering creature within 100 feet with a clear line of sight. This unique ability awakens the
sleeping creature and makes it impossible for the creature to get any more sleep or useful rest for 24 hours. The creature can make a Will save against this effect (DC 15) with no penalties because of sleeping. The only exception
are creatures whom the sword itself put to sleep—they get no Will save at all. Each such theft is enough to fill a single bottle of sleep† (see page 194).
Moderate enchantment; caster level 4th; Craft Arms and Armor, sleep, cure minor wounds; 25,315 gp

Quicken Spell-Like Ability (darkfire ball), Track
Possessions: +2 ring of protection
Burning Shadow (Su): If it touches a living creature, Xar-el’s shadow inflicts 3d6 points of damage as it “burns” the creature’s spirit (though this is not fire-based damage). Unless in total darkness or in the very center of a daylight spell (or surrounded by a number of powerful lights, such as those generated by daylight spells), he can make a touch attack against a foe within 15 feet to maneuver his shadow to fall upon him. Xar-el can use this ability once per round as a free action. If he is flanked, the touch attack automatically succeeds.
Animate Shadows (Su): As a standard action three times per day, Xar-el can animate all creatures’ shadows within 30 feet as described in “The Shadow Plague,” page 89 (no save).
Darkfire Ball(Sp): Three times each day, Xar-el can create a fireball of black energy that operates like a normal fireball cast by a 15th-level caster, except that the damage is unholy (thus all demons are immune to it). The darkfire ball inflicts 10d6 points of damage in a 20-foot-radius spread (Reflex save, DC 22, for half). The save DC is Charisma based.
Constitution Drain (Su): The bite of a terrorite demon has been described as quite similar to that of a vampire. Those bitten suffer 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage and must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 25) or one of the points becomes a permanent drain rather than damage. The save DC is Constitution based.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—detect good, detect magic, detect thoughts, dispel magic, gaseous form, greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), locate object, Mel’s acid arrow, see invisibility, shatter, unhallow, vampiric touch; 3/day—lightning bolt, nondetection; 1/day—blasphemy, disintegrate, greater teleport (no limitation), unholy aura, wall of force. Caster level 15th. Saving throw DC 19 + spell level. Save DCs are Charisma based.

Tanar’ri Traits: A demon possesses the following traits:

• Immunity to electricity and poison
• Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and fire 10
• Telepathy
Summon Tanar’ri(Sp): Once per day, the terrorite can summon 1d2 vrocks or one hezrou with a 50 percent chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

Dragondoom: This artifact is a black gem about half the size of a man’s fist. As a standard action, the wielder can force a dragon within 30 feet to make a Will save (DC 25). Failure banishes the dragon from this plane, casting it into another random plane and barring it from ever returning until the Dragondoom is destroyed.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a nightcrawler must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the opponent in the following round.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude save, DC 22, initial and secondary damage 2d6 points of Strength. The save DC is Constitution based.

Caster level 25th. The save DCs are Charisma based.
Summon Undead (Su): A nightcrawler can summon undead creatures once per night: 9–16 shadows, 3–6 greater shadows, or 2–4 dread wraiths. The undead arrive in 1d10 rounds and serve for one hour or until released.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A nightcrawler can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Huge or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage plus 12 points of acid damage per round from the nightcrawler’s gizzard and is subject to the creature’s energy drain. A swallowed creature can cut its way out using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 35 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 21). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A nightcrawler’s interior can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small, or 512 Tiny or smaller opponents.

Bring 'Em Back Alive (Ex): Whenever Dibedo attacks with a melee weapon, he can deal nonlethal damage with the weapon instead of lethal damage, and he has no penalty on the attack roll while doing so.

Crippling Strike (Ex): Dibedo can make a nonlethal strike against an opponent with such precision that his blow weakens and hampers the opponent. When Dibedo damages an opponent with a nonlethal strike, that character also takes 1 point of Strength damage.

Hog-Tie (Ex): When Dibedo pins an opponent while grappling, he can attempt to hog-tie the opponent (in addition to his other options; see If You're Pinning an Opponent on page 156 of the Player's Handbook). Dibedo must have a rope, chain, or manacles in one hand to use this ability.

Improved Hog-Tie (Ex): Dibedo can make a hog-tie attempt without first pinning his opponent. Whenever a grapple is established, Dibedo can use an attack action to make a hog-tie attempt.

Nonlethal Strike (Ex): Dibedo can make nonlethal strikes. Any time Dibedo uses the bring 'em back alive ability and his target would be denied her Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (whether she actually has a Dexterity bonus or not) or when Dibedo flanks the target, his attack deals an extra +3d6 points of nonlethal damage.

Elf Traits: Dibedo is immune to sleep spells and effects. He gets a +2 racial bonus on saves against enchantment spells and effects and a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks (already figured into the statistics above). He has low-light vision and familiarity with the longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite), and short bow (including composite). When he passes within 5 feet of a secret door he can make a Search check as if he were looking for the door.

Evasion (Ex): Against an attack that allows a Reflex save for half damage, Dibedo takes no damage on a successful save and full damage on a failed save.

Favored Enemy: Dibedo gains a +2 bonus on his Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against humans. He gets the same bonus on weapon damage rolls against humans.

Street Savvy (Ex): Dibedo gains a +6 circumstance bonus on Gather Information checks he attempts while in pursuit of a criminal.

Trap Sense (Ex): Dibedo has a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps.

Trapfinding: Dibedo can use the Search skill to find traps with Search DCs higher than 20.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Dibedo can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to even be aware of it. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC regardless of being caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. He still loses any Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Wild Empathy (Ex): Dibedo can use body language, vocalizations, and demeanor to improve the attitude of an animal (such as a bear or a monitor lizard). This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. His bonus on the check is +3. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. The ranger and the animal must study each other for 1 minute. This ability can also be used to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but the ranger takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Languages: Common, Elven.
