Nar demonbinders are most often clerics, sorcerers, or wizards.
Bards and druids do not have access to the spells necessary
to call up and command fiendish creatures, and the prestige
class demands high spellcasting ability simply to qualify.
Hit Die: d6.
REQUIREMENTS
To qualify to become a Nar demonbinder, a character must
fulfill all the following criteria.
Skills: Intimidate 5 ranks, Knowledge (the planes) 10 ranks,
Sense Motive 2 ranks.
Feats: Iron Will, Spell Focus (conjuration).
Spellcasting: Able to cast 4th-level arcane or divine spells,
knowledge of at least one summon monster spell.
Languages: Abyssal.
CLASS SKILLS
The Nar demonbinder’s class skills (and the key ability for
each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher
Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge
(arcana, the planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive
(Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). See Chapter 4: Skills in the Player’s

CLASS FEATURES
All the following are class features of the Nar demonbinder
prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Nar demonbinders gain no
proficiency in any weapon or armor.
Spells Per Day: Beginning at 1st level, a Nar demonbinder
gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells. He
gains arcane spells per day according to Table 2–6. He must
learn and choose his spells from the Nar demonbinder spell
list, below. The character’s caster level is equal to his Nar
demonbinder level plus his levels in one other spellcasting
class of his choice. To cast a spell, the demonbinder must
have a Charisma score of at least 10 + the spell’s level. Demonbinder
bonus spells are based on Charisma, and saving
throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level +

Fiendish Familiar: A Nar demonbinder can call a fiendish
familiar. Doing so takes a day and uses up magical materials
that cost 100 gp. The demonbinder may choose either an imp
or a quasit as a familiar, just as if he knew the Improved Familiar
feat and were an arcane spellcaster of the appropriate
level. The fiendish familiar is magically linked to its master
just like a normal familiar. The imp or quasit uses the basic
statistics for a creature of its kind as given in the Monster
Manual, with the following exceptions. (Unless otherwise
stated, for all fiendish familiar abilities dependent on the
master’s level, count only sorcerer/wizard levels and Nar demonbinder
levels, which stack for the purposes of determining
the familiar’s abilities.)
Hit Points: One-half of the master’s total or the fiendish familiar’s
normal total, whichever is higher.
Attacks: Use the master’s base attack bonus or the
fiendish familiar’s, whichever is better. Use the familiar’s Dexterity
or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to get the
familiar’s melee attack bonus with unarmed attacks. Damage
equals that of a normal creature of that kind.
Special Attacks: The fiendish familiar has all the special
attacks of its kind.
Special Qualities: The fiendish familiar has all the special
qualities of its kind.
Saving Throws: The fiendish familiar uses the master’s base
save bonuses if they are better than its own. The familiar uses
its own ability score modifiers on saves, and it doesn’t enjoy
other bonuses that the Nar demonbinder might have (such as
from magic items or feats).
Skills: Use the normal skill ranks for a creature of that kind,
modified by the fiendish familiar’s own ability score modifiers.
