Alternate Form (Su): Noctulos can assume the shape of<br />

a bat, dire bat, wolf or dire wolf as a standard action; see<br />

the MM for more details.<br />

Blood Drain (Ex): Grapple check required; if foe is<br />

pinned, Noctulos deals 1d4 points of Constitution<br />

drain each round the pin is maintained and gains five<br />

temporary hit points with each such successful attack.<br />

Children of the Night (Su): As a standard action,<br />

Noctulos can summon 1d6+1 rat swarms, 1d4+1 bat<br />

swarms or a pack of 3d6 wolves. <strong>The</strong>se creatures arrive<br />

in 2d6 rounds and serve him for up to one hour.<br />

Damage Reduction (Su): Noctulos has damage reduction<br />

10/silver and magic. His natural weapons are treated as<br />

magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage<br />

reduction.<br />

Dominate (Su): This is a gaze<br />

attack and requires a standard<br />

action. <strong>The</strong> target must succeed<br />

on a Will saving throw (DC 26)<br />

or fall instantly under Noctulos’s<br />

influence as though by a dominate<br />

person spell (caster level 12 th ).<br />

<strong>The</strong> ability has a range of 30 feet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> save DC is Charisma-based.<br />

Create Spawn (Su): Creatures<br />

slain by energy drain rise as<br />

vampire spawn; see the MM.<br />

Energy Drain (Su): Living<br />

creatures hit by Noctulos’ slam or<br />

snake attacks gain two negative<br />

levels. For each negative level<br />

bestowed, Noctulos gains five<br />

temporary hit points. He can use<br />

this ability once per round.<br />

Fast Healing (Ex): Noctulos heals<br />

five points of damage each round<br />

so long as he has at least one hit<br />

point. If reduced to zero hit points in combat he assumes<br />

gaseous form and attempts to escape to his throne. He<br />

must reach his throne (which he sleeps in instead of a<br />

coffin) within two hours or be utterly destroyed. Any<br />

additional damage dealt to Noctulos while he is in<br />

gaseous form has no effect. Once at rest in his throne,<br />

Noctulos is helpless. He regains one hit point after one<br />

hour, then is no longer helpless and resumes healing at<br />

the rate of five hit points per round.<br />

Gaseous Form (Su): As a standard action, Noctulos can<br />

assume gaseous form at will as the spell (caster level<br />

5 th ), but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly<br />

speed of 20 feet with perfect manoeuvrability.<br />

Petrifying Gaze (Su): Turn to stone permanently, 30<br />

feet, Fortitude DC 26 negates. <strong>The</strong> saving throw DC is<br />

Charisma-based.<br />

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 18, initial damage<br />

1d6 Strength, secondary damage 2d6 Strength.<br />

Spider Climb (Ex): Noctulos can climb sheer surfaces<br />

as though with a spider climb spell.<br />
