Familiar Special Abilities: Use Table 3–19: Familiar Special
Abilities in the Player’s Handbook to determine additional
abilities as you would for a normal familiar. The character
may add any levels of sorcerer and/or wizard to his Nar demonbinder
class level for purposes of determining his
fiendish familiar’s special abilities.
Inimical Casting (Ex): A Nar demonbinder knows how to
employ spells that deflect the attacks of outsiders, regardless
of alignment.
When a Nar demonbinder
casts one of the
spells listed below, he
may choose one of the
listed effects instead.
Magic circle against good
can be cast as magic circle
against evil, magic circle
against chaos, or magic circle
against law.
Dispel good may be cast as
dispel chaos, dispel evil, or
dispel law.
Blasphemy may be cast as
dictum, holy word, or word of chaos.
Unholy aura may be cast as holy
aura, cloak of chaos, or shield
of law.
Iron Sign: On reaching 2nd
level, a Nar demonbinder learns how
to fashion a special token known as an
iron sign. Creating the token requires
three days and 1,000 gp in
magical materials. The iron sign is
the size of a large amulet. The demonbinder
can use it in one of two ways.
Calling Diagram: The iron sign functions
as a calling diagram (see Conjuration
under Schools of Magic in Chapter 10:
Magic of the Player’s Handbook) that combines
a magic circle with dimensional anchor. The demonbinder need
only set the token on a suitable surface, and no Spellcraft
check is necessary to scribe the diagram. A creature held by
the iron sign must remain within 5 feet of it and otherwise
behaves as if it were completely enclosed in a suitably sized
calling diagram.
The iron sign can hold a called creature for up to one day
per caster level of the character who crafted it. Unlike a
normal calling diagram, the iron sign cannot be disturbed
unless something physically removes the token from the spot
where it was placed (naturally, the called creature cannot disturb
the token either directly or indirectly).
Demon Trap: As a full-round action, the demonbinder can
set the token on a suitable surface and try to compel a free
outsider within 30 feet of the token into its effective calling
diagram (Will save negates, DC 10 + Nar demonbinder level
+ Nar demonbinder’s Charisma modifier). The subject is entitled
to spell resistance. If the creature fails its saving throw,

it is transported to a square of its choice within 5 feet of the
iron sign, and trapped just as if the demonbinder had conjured
it into a calling diagram.
When a trapped creature leaves the iron sign (because it was
freed by the demonbinder, escaped on its own, or the duration
of the calling diagram lapsed), the token crumbles into powder
and is destroyed.
Master Summoner (Ex): At 3rd level, a Nar demonbinder
gains a +4 bonus on opposed Charisma checks to trap
or compel creatures called through any planar binding
spell.
Brazen Sign: On reaching 4th level, a Nar demonbinder
learns how to fashion a brazen sign. This
works exactly like the iron sign, except that
the called creature cannot use its spell resistance
to attempt to break out of the
calling diagram or to resist being caught
in the demon trap. Crafting a brazen
sign requires five days and the expenditure
of materials worth 2,000 gp.
Infernal Certitude (Ex): Due to
his long study of demons, devils, and
such creatures, a 5th-level Nar demonbinder
gains a +4 bonus on
spell penetration checks against
any outsider.
Silver Sign: On reaching
6th level, a Nar demonbinder
learns how to fashion a silver sign. This
works just like the brazen sign, except
that the DC of the Charisma check for
the called creature to escape increases by
+5, and none of its attacks or abilities
can exit the area within 5 feet of the
token. Crafting a silver sign requires seven days
and the expenditure of 5,000 gp in materials.
Baleful Energy (Ex): On attaining 7th level,
when a Nar demonbinder casts a spell that deals
damage, one-half of the damage dealt is derived
directly from infernal power and is therefore not reduced by
resistance to the energy type of the damaging spell. In the case
of flame strike, the entire damage of the spell is derived from
infernal power and is not subject to fire resistance (although
targets are still permitted spell resistance and saving throws).
