Babau\u2019s are often used as soldiers by more powerful entities in the Navirim. They are the perfect soldiers: tough, immune to most damage, capable of multiple powerful attacks. During the Great War, the Uthgard Kingdom had a legion of babau, controlled by a powerful Dreadlord mage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a babau finds itself alone in our world, they often stalk a victim, relishing in its fear and distress. This has led to a folk tale view of them as boogeymen, hiding under beds or in closets to torment their victims. In truth, if a babau stalks a person, that person will not likely last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dark<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once per day, a babau can cause an area around it to become dark, as per a level 1 Dark spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Protective Slime<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A layer of acidic slime coats a babau\u2019s skin. Any creature that strikes a babau with a natural attack or unarmed strike takes 1d8 points of acid damage from this slime if it fails a DEX roll. A creature that strikes a babau with a melee weapon must make a successful DEX roll or the weapon takes 1d8 points of acid damage. Ammunition that strikes a babau is automatically destroyed after it inflicts its damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sneak Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The babau does an extra 2d6 points of damage whenever a foe is unaware of them, flanked, or prone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    See Invisible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A babau can see anything that is hidden by a magical invisibility spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remnants and Reagents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Babau Acid (Remnant)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The acid from the babau can be harvested into vials. Each babau has up to 6 doses of acid. This is Strong Acid, doing 1d10+1 or 1 AV for 10 rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
