Multiweapon Mastery (Ex) A predatory xill never takes penalties to an attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons, and treats claws as primary attacks even when also wielding weapons.

Planewalk (Su) A predatory xill can shift from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane as a move action. Shifting from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane takes 2 consecutive full-round actions, during which time the xill is immobile. As a xill fades away, it becomes harder to hit: opponents have a 20% miss chance in the first round and a 50% miss chance in the second. A xill can take a single willing or helpless creature with it when it switches planes.

Walk Unseen (Su) Once per day per three Hit Dice it possesses, as part of shifting from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane with its planewalk ability, a predatory xill may choose to gain the benefits of greater invisibility, as per the spell (CL 10th).


One in ten young produced by a standard xill is sterile, lacking the ability to paralyze victims and implant eggs. Unable to propagate the species, these xills are relegated to the fringes of xill society, where they find purpose in a religious practice revolving around ritualistic trophy hunts and complex codes of honor.

These so-called predatory xills make regular forrays into the Material Plane to hunt dangerous creatures such as seasoned adventurers and feral xills. These latter targets are particularly popular, as feral xills are reviled by all other members of their race, being even lowlier than the sterile predatory hunters in the eyes of their kin.

A predatory xill's code of honor demands that the xill battle worthy opponents in honorable, face-to-face combat, but is silent about the treatment of opponents who have yet to prove themselves. Until a foe demonstrates an ability to survive a predatory xill's more dastardly tactics, the xill has no qualms about using its ability to walk unseen to grant itself an unfair advantage against that opponent.

Xill Champions

The most accomplished predatory xills are known as xill champions. They are often predatory xills with levels of ranger or rogue. Xill champions collect adamantine weapons, shields, jewelry, and masks, having a great fondness for that metal. When possible, they also carry ropes of entanglement in place of the nets carried by ordinary predatory xill, and any number of other magical items that can be used to entrap, maim, or kill their prey.
