View source for Ceiling Knight (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Ceiling knights prefer to fight on a "stable surface" so not to fall into the sky.  They use their Project Limb ability to attack at range, and Impale to keep targets still.  Multiple attackers will gang up on an impaled target and stab them repeatedly.

'''Antigravity {{Ex}}:'''  Ceiling knights react to gravity in the opposite way they should.  In the event that they fall into the sky, they discorporate upon falling for a mile and then reappear in the nearest solid "ground" they can stand on after taking 3d6 damage a round later.

'''Armor Body:'''  Ceiling knights count as having heavy armor for the purpose of interacting with spells and effects, and may be enhanced as one.  They have a +8 armor bonus, no Max Dex or armor check penalty, and no arcane spell failure but they don't count as wearing armor for the purpose of evasion or tumbling.

'''Impale {{Ex}}:'''  On a critical threat a ceiling knight can impale a target, provided there is a surface behind them (usually the floor).  If they succeed on an opposed grapple check the target is pinned and both ceiling knight and target are considered to be in a grapple.  However since they can attack with project limb they do not need to move and in fact does not enter the target's space or vice versa.  On the other hand they cannot retract their weapon as long as they are maintaining the pin.  They can also trigger impale on a normal successful attack once per round by taking a -2 penalty to hit.

'''Project Limb {{Ex}}:'''  As a standard action the ceiling knight can extend their limbs and attack up to 30 ft away (or 35 ft with the reach of their lance).  It counts as a charge attack, including the attack bonus and AC penalty, though the ceiling knight does not actually move and does not provoke attacks of opportunity for their limbs passing through a space.  However recoiling their limbs takes a moment and so they lose the ability to make attacks of opportunity or threaten for 1 round.  When using Impale they can keep their arms extended and not retract them (they continue to not threaten while their arms are extended).

'''Tovish Lance:'''  Ceiling knights use lances formed from their body.  If disarmed, dropped, or sundered they destabilize after 1 round, and the ceiling knight can draw another from itself with the same action drawing a weapon normally takes.
