Before Combat If he has adequate time to prepare, a shaitan priest will go into battle with stoneskin, freedom of movement, magic vestment, wrathful mantle, bear's endurance (from a potion), bull's strength, weapon of awe, shield of faith, and divine power active, making him a formidable opponent, as shown in the right-hand column. If surprised by opponents he cannot defeat easily, a shaitan priest will use quickened glitterdust to confuse his enemies, then meld into stone to take cover while he casts stoneskin and divine power. During Combat The shaitan priest casts quickened glitterdust on the first round of combat, focuses on making full attacks against opponents, taking full advantage of Channel Smite and Power Attack, and attempting to trap foes within walls using Bull Rush Strike and his stone curse ability. If at least two opponents are trapped within the same volume, he will use transmute rock to mud to slay them instantly. If he can catch other foes in the resulting mud, he will trap them using transmute mud to rock on the following round. Morale If hard pressed, the shaitan priest will take cover in a wall using meld into stone to heal himself and regroup, but will not permanently flee a combat. STATISTICS

Earth Mastery (Ex)A shaitan gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls and a +2 bonus on opposed Strength-based checks if both it and its foe are touching the ground. It takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls against airborne or waterborne opponents. Metalmorph (Su)As a standard action, a shaitan may touch a single metal object of no more than 10 pounds and transform it into any other metal for 1 day. Stone Curse (Su)If a shaitan wins a bull rush check by 5 or more and pushes its target into a stone barrier, the target must make a DC 21 Reflex save or be forced into the barrier as if the target had cast meld into stone until the victim makes a successful DC 21 Fortitude save as a full-round action to exit the stone. The save DCs are Strength-based. Stone Glide (Su)This functions as the earth elemental's earth glide ability, except the shaitan can move through stone, dirt, crystal, or metal. |
