Description
Domains: Necromancer, Undeath Spells Per Day: 1st: Cure Light Wounds, Shield of Faith, Summon Undead I, Ray of Enfeeblement; 2nd: Shield Other, Summon Undead II, Command Undead Carrion Stench (Ex): Bua Gorg, when he desires, emits a terrible smell in a 10-foot radius. Living creatures in the radius (excluding himself), must succeed at a Fortitude save DC 20 or become sickened for 3 rounds. Furthermore, mindless undead creatures within the radius of the stench believe Bua Gorg to be undead (usually meaning he won’t be attack by such creatures). Demon Wings (Ex): Bua Gorg has grown massive black wings from his back, allowing him to fly at his base land speed with average maneuverability. Hold Breath (Ex): Bua can hold his breath for a number of rounds equal to four times his Constitution score before he risks drowning or suffocating. Sticky Tongue (Ex): A creature hit by Bua’s tongue attack cannot move more than 10 feet away from him and take a –2 penalty to AC as long as the tongue is attached (this penalty does not stack if multiple tongues are attached). The tongue can be removed by making an opposed Strength check as a standard action or by dealing 2 points of slashing damage to the tongue (AT 2, damage does not deplete his actual hit points). He cannot move more than 10 feet away from the target, but he can release his tongue as a free action. Unlike a giant frog, he cannot pull targets toward him with his tongue. Summoning (Su): Bua Gorg, like all bullywug clerics, is notorious for his powerful but unpredictable summoning abilities. When he casts a summon monster (or similar spell), there is a 50% chance that one more monster than the spell would ordinarily summon will appear. In such cases, there is a 25% chance that the summoned monsters will not be under Bua Gorg’s control, rampaging and attacking at random. Swamp Stride (Ex): Bua suffers no movement penalties for moving in marshes or mud. Terrifying Croak (Su): Once per hour, Bua can, as a standard action, emit a loud and horrifying croak. Any non-boggard creature within 30 feet of him must make a DC 13 Will save or become shaken for 1d4 rounds. Creatures that succeed at this save cannot be affected again by his croak for 24 hours. Creatures that are already shaken become frightened for 1d4 rounds instead. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus. Touch of Fear (Sp): Bua Gorg can cast cause fear as the 1st level cleric spell 3/day at a caster level of 3 levels higher than his own. Bua Gorg does not suffer from his normal caster level penalty when using this ability.
