| | Description: |
Combat
Nightmares do battle by biting with their viperish fangs and
kicking with their powerful legs. A nightmare can fight while
mounted, but the rider cannot also fight unless he or she
succeeds at a Ride check.
Flaming Hooves (Su): A blow from a nightmare's hooves
sets combustible materials alight.
Smoke (Su): During the excitement of battle, a nightmare often
snorts and neighs with rage. This fills a 15-foot cone with a
hot, sulfurous smoke that chokes and blinds opponents. Anyone in
the cone must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 16) or suffer a -2
morale penalty to all attack and damage rolls until 1d6 minutes
after they leave the cone. The nightmare gains one-half
concealment against creatures 5 feet away and total concealment
against creatures 10 feet away. The smoke does not obscure the
nightmare's vision at all. The nightmare can suppress the
smoke as a free action.
Astral Projection and Etherealness (Su): These function just
like the spells of the same names as cast by a 20th-level
sorcerer.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a nightmare is up
to 300 pounds; a medium load, 301-600 pounds; and a heavy load, 601-900
pounds.
