A pet or a monster, based on if you follow the instructions. Nobody has followed them yet. The manifestation of pure chaos -- these creatures are willing to do actions against its own self-preservation. But are near impossible to control or reason with. They act on impulse on what is the most fun.
Note: Standardized Monster Scores by Level was used to balancing most scores.
Abilities
Demon Traits: All gremlins have the following Demon Traits.
- Immunity to electricity and poison.
- Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and fire 10.
- A gremlin’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
- Summon Gremlin (Sp): Once per day a gremlin can attempt to summon another gremlin (of same type) with a 35% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell.
- However, a gremlin does not have telepathy.
Evasion (Ex): A gremlin can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If it makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, it instead takes no damage. A helpless gremlin does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Light Vulnerability (Ex): Gremlin are vulnerable to light, taking +50% more damage from all spells and effects with the descriptor, and take a -1 moral penalty to all rolls when in bright light.
Sneak Attack: Gremlin type I can sneak attack, which deals 1d6 extra damage. A type II does +2d6, and a type III does +3d6.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—ghost sound, mage hand and prestidigitation. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
- Improved and Greater Spell-Like Abilities: Type II and III add the following spells to their spell-like abilities.
- A type II and III can do an advanced spell 3/day. The following are advanced spells: cause fear, expeditious retreat and ventriloquism.
- A type III can also do a greater spell 2/day. The following are greater spells: darkness, summon swarm and pyrotechnics.
