minute. This damage ends immediately if it enters its home
area again.
Incorporeal Subtype: A telthor can be harmed only by other
incorporeal creatures, +1 or better magic weapons, spells, spelllike
abilities, and supernatural abilities. The creature has a
50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source,
except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch
weapons. A telthor can pass through solid objects, but not
force effects, at will. Its attacks ignore natural armor, armor,
and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally
against them. A telthor always moves silently and
cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn’t wish to be.
Native Animal Empathy (Ex): This telthor can communicate
and empathize with other wolves. This gives it a +4 bonus
on checks to influence a wolf’s attitude and allows the communication
of simple concepts and commands.
Scent (Ex): This telthor can detect approaching enemies,
sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Telthor Telepathy (Su): Telthors can communicate with one
another telepathically, regardless of language, at a range of
100 feet.
Skills: *This telthor receives a +4 bonus on Survival checks
when tracking by scent.
The Telthor Template
“Telthor” is a template that can be applied to any animal or
humanoid (referred to hereafter as the “base creature”). The
creature’s type changes to “fey,” and it gains the incorporeal
subtype. It uses all of the base creature’s statistics and special
abilities except as noted here.
Telthors can speak and understand Rashemi in addition to
any languages the base creature knew.
Speed: A telthor gains a fly speed equal to its normal speed
(poor maneuverability), unless its previous fly speed was
better, in which case the base creature’s fly speed and maneuverability
is retained.
AC: The telthor loses any natural armor bonus but gains a
deflection bonus equal to the value of its natural armor bonus.
If the creature already has a deflection bonus to AC, use the
greater value. This change does not apply to natural armor or
deflection bonuses granted from spells or magic items.
Attacks: The base creature’s melee attacks become incorporeal
touch attacks. A creature that used weapons retains the
ability to attack with its melee weapons as melee touch attacks
but loses all ranged attacks. As incorporeal creatures, telthors
apply their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier
to melee attacks.
Special Qualities: A telthor retains all the base creature’s
special qualities, and also gains those special qualities listed
below.
Bound to the Land (Su): A telthor is tied to the place it
guards and is weakened if it moves more than 1 mile from
that place. Outside of this area, it takes 1 point of damage
every minute. This damage ends immediately if it enters its
home area again. Telthors can sense the boundaries of their
territory and normally do not leave them except to warn
MONSTERS OF THE EAST

others of danger. Rashemen legends tell of telthors that traveled
miles to warn the hathrans of an invasion and then died
from the pain of separation before they could be healed.
Native Animal Empathy (Ex): Telthors can communicate
and empathize with animals of their kind. This gives them a
+4 bonus on checks to influence the animal’s attitude and
allows the communication of simple concepts and (if the
animal is friendly) commands, such as “friend,” “enemy,”
“flee,” and “attack.” A humanoid telthor chooses one kind of
animal for its empathic bond and gains this ability for that
kind of animal only.
Telthor Telepathy (Su): Telthors can communicate with one
another telepathically, regardless of language, at a range of
100 feet.
Abilities: Same as the base creature, but Intelligence is
at least 3. As incorporeal creatures, telthors have no
Strength score.
Climate/Terrain: Cold forest and hills.
Organization: Solitary or band (2–5).
Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.
Level Adjustment: Same as the base creature +2.
Treasure: None.
Alignment: Usually neutral.
