Description

Retrievers speak Abyssal, Celestial, and Draconic.

Combat

Eye Rays (Su): A retriever's eyes can produce four different magical rays with a range of 100 feet. Each round, it can fire two rays, but an individual ray is usable only once every 6 rounds. It cannot fire rays in the same round as it makes physical attacks. Each effect follows the rules for a ray. Save DC is 16. The four eye effects are:

  • Fire: Deals 12d6 fire damage to the target and to all those within 5 feet (those nearby are allowed Reflex saves to halve the damage).
  • Cold: Deals 12d6 cold damage to the target.
  • Electricity: Deals 12d6 electricity damage to the target.
  • Petrification: The target must succeed at a Fortitude save or turn to stone permanently.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the retriever must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it holds the opponent fast in its mouth. This is how it usually "retrieves" things.

Find Target (Sp): When ordered to find an item or being, a retriever does so unerringly, as though guided by discern location.

Construct: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, disease, and similar effects. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.

Regeneration (Ex): Blessed and holy weapons deal normal damage to retrievers.
A retriever that loses a limb or body part can reattach it by holding the severed member to the stump. Reattachment takes 1 minute. A retriever regrows lost body parts in one day (lost parts become inert).
