SPECIAL ABILITIES
Psychogenic Secretions (Su)
A xulgath’s stench is far more potent than that of its
troglodyte cousins. Although a xulgath’s oily secretions are completely
odorless, they cause any creatures (other than xulgaths) that come within 30
feet of a xulgath to immediately recall the most repugnant odor they have ever
smelled. This is a mind-affecting effect, but it bypasses a vermin’s immunity
to mind-affecting effects. The stench assaults the mind of its victims; even if
a creature succeeds at its saving throw to resist being sickened by the
xulgath’s stench, it takes a –4 penalty on Will saving throws to resist the
xulgath’s psychic magic.
A xulgath’s nonhostile psychic powers, including its
mindlink spell and ability to communicate telepathically, are also limited by
the range of its stench, as its strange secretions are what allows it to form a
bond between its own mind and the minds of others.
Strike First Strike Last (Ex)
A xulgath slayer adds +2 on Stealth checks when remaining
motionless and reduces the penalty on Stealth checks when sniping by 2 too. It
also gains +2 on its’ initiative checks in surprise rounds whenever it is aware
of the surprise round and at least one enemy is unaware.
A xulgath slayer is a professional guerilla, stalking and
hunting its’ quarry through the rubble-strewn darkness of its underground home.

A xulgath cave dweller is often the tribe’s champion, not

fighting until either they or their enemies are dead. They often are praised by

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Defensive Instinct (Ex)
When unarmored, not using a shield, unencumbered, and
conscious, the elemental shifter adds his Wis bonus to his AC and CMD. If he is
wearing non-metal armor or using a non-metal shield, they instead add half his
Wis bonus to AC. In addition, they have a +2 bonus to AC and CMD. These bonuses
to AC apply even against touch attacks and when the elemental shifter is
flat-footed. They lose these bonuses when immobilized or helpless. These
bonuses don’t stack with the monk’s AC bonus class feature.
Elemental Aspect (Su)
This elemental shifter has the earth, fire and water
elemental aspects.
Elemental Form (Su)
When an elemental shifter uses wild shape, they instead
are affected as if by elemental body I, but they only gain the benefits of
their elemental aspect. While in an elemental form, the elemental shifter can
speak only the elemental language associated with that form and they can do so
only if they know it.
Elemental Speech (Su)
When in their elemental aspect, an elemental shifter
gains the benefit of tongues with creatures of the elemental subtype that match
their current elemental aspect.
Elemental Strike (Su)
As a swift action, the elemental shifter can charge their
melee attack with elemental energy. They can charge their attacks only with the
element they have chosen with elemental aspects. Once charged, each melee
attack the elemental shifter makes until the start of their next turn deals an
additional 3d6 points of energy damage based on the element they choose when
taking this action.
Omnielementalist (Su)
An elemental shifter can fuse two elemental forms
together, gaining combined powers of the different aspects and manifesting them
in ways similar to powerful natural weather phenomena. When an elemental
shifter takes on one minor form each from two of their elemental aspects, they
gain an additional ability as long as they maintain that form. (Mudslide, steam
cloud, volcanic stride).
Psychogenic Secretions (Su)
A xulgath’s stench is far more potent than that of its
troglodyte cousins. Although a xulgath’s oily secretions are completely
odorless, they cause any creatures (other than xulgaths) that come within 30
feet of a xulgath to immediately recall the most repugnant odor they have ever
smelled. This is a mind-affecting effect, but it bypasses a vermin’s immunity
to mind-affecting effects. The stench assaults the mind of its victims; even if
a creature succeeds at its saving throw to resist being sickened by the
xulgath’s stench, it takes a –4 penalty on Will saving throws to resist the
xulgath’s psychic magic.
A xulgath’s nonhostile psychic powers, including its
mindlink spell and ability to communicate telepathically, are also limited by
the range of its stench, as its strange secretions are what allows it to form a
bond between its own mind and the minds of others.

A xulgath shifter is one of the most powerful members of
a xulgath tribe, and usually serves as a bodyguard to a xulgath king. Almost
all xulgath shifters are elemental shifters, though some prefer to take on the
basic shifter path, or, more rarely, that of an oozemorph. Despite their
inherently evil nature, no xulgath would become a fiendflesh shifter – for some
reason they consider this path to be anathema to their natures. On their own,
xulgath shifters are not very sane, though they are usually lucid, and are
firmly devoted to both their tribes and their elements. As a rule, they acquire
an earth elemental aspect first, and the air elemental aspect last. They hate
intruders and will do their best to kill them, if given a chance.

A xulgath high priest is a mastermind of intrigue,
utilizing not so much the occult, as the sneaky powers of the mind and its’
straightforward cunning. Like its’ subordinates, it usually has access to the
Darkness domain, or to the Loss subdomain, though Chaos and Evil domains (and
Demon and Fear subdomains) are also frequest. A xulgath high priest rules with
an iron claw, and is always ready and willing to sacrifice live sacrifices,
whether its’ own people or outsiders to further its’ goals and to increase its’
own powers.

Unlike many other evil humanoids, xulgaths do not cavort
with demons very regularly, preferring to use less extraplanar and supernatural
means of evil to spread their influence across. The only exception are the
hezrou demons, who have a relationship of mutual interest and respect with the
xulgaths, finding that they have many things in common. Xulgaths find hezrous
to be too barbaric, and hezrous find xulgaths to be too weak, but this does not
prevent from half-hezrou xulgaths to appear among the xulgath society. A
half-hezrou xulgath looks like a big and bulky xulgath with a skin condition
and body proportions that are more frog-like than lizard-like A half-hezrou
xulgath will be usually a barbarian or an alchemist within the xulgath society.
