Special Abilities

Combat Casting (Ex)

Concentration check: d20 + 20. The Consort's Spell abilities are all level 5, thus the Concentration DC is always 25 for any of the consort's spells.

Graceful Repose (Sp)

As a standard action, the consort may heal herself and all adjacent allies for 4d8+3 hit points.

Terrible Rebuke (Sp)

As a standard action, the consort may cast Terrible Rebuke. This affects all creatures in a thirty foot diameter area of effect within a range of 300 feet. Terrible Rebuke affects all creatures who are working in opposition to the Strategists will, and thus usually only affects enemies, although given the byzantine nature of Drow society, damage to 'allies' is not impossible. Terrible Rebuke inflicts 3d6+3 points of psychic damage to all affected creatures, and inflicts the [Afflicted] status condition until the beginning of the Drow's next turn. Creatures in the area of effect are allowed a Will save versus a DC of 22 to take half damage and negate the [Afflicted] condition.

Darkfire (Sp)

As a standard action, the consort may hurl Darkfire at a creature within 100 feet. This is treated like a ray attack. She must succeed on a ranged touch attack, with a to-hit roll of +15. If she hits, the target takes 7d6+1 points of fire and negative energy damage. Special: If the target of her Darkfire is undead, the Strategist may instead use Darkfire to heal that creature.
