SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blackest Depths (Su)
The waters in which a nightwave swims become
as chill, dark, and heavy as those in the ocean’s deepest reaches. All
waters within 60 feet are completely dark (as deeper darkness),
and creatures within this radius take 6d6 points of damage (half cold,
half bludgeoning) at the end of their turn each round if they remain in
the area at this time. A DC 31 Fortitude save negates the crushing damage. Incorporeal creatures and creatures with the aquatic or water subtypes native to deep waters do not take this damage, and freedom of movement
protects completely against the damage. Any magical light effect within
this radius at the beginning of the nightwave’s turn is dispelled
(treat as greater dispel magic). This effect does not extend out of the water. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Energy Drain (Su)
A creature that has been swallowed whole by a nightwave gains 2 negative levels each round.
