Slaad, White

The slaadi have hundreds of conflicting stories about their origins. The most radical story is that all these stories are true: that slaadi once existed in countless contradictory timelines simultaneously, and that they were somehow locked into this one, single, constricting reality eons ago. The white slaadi may be proof that this story is true.

White slaadi, also known as chronos slaadi, have an uncanny insight into the flow of time. They receive constant glimpses of times that were, times that will be, and times that once could have been, granting them an almost transcendant view of reality. They are unbelievably wise and insightful, but their view of all the myriad ways of reality makes them distant and unpredictable, even for slaadi.

White slaadi are obsessed with breaking down the structured bonds of reality, seeding chaos storms in the void of the Maelstrom and railing against the order imposed on the multiverse by the forces of law. This makes them more like the proteans than most of their kind, and white slaadi often serve as free agents in the serpentine ones' hordes.

A strange theory has been formulating in the minds of some white slaadi for the last few centuries. The two eldest slaad masters, Ygorl and Ssendam, created the Spawning Stone - the great artifact and eldritch location that draws the slaadi to its surface and drives them to mate. Certain white slaadi believe that Ygorl and Ssendam created the Spawning Stone to lock the slaadi into a certain set number of toadlike forms or species out of fear that a new, more powerful slaad form would arise and overthrow them - effectively betraying their entire race by imposing Order on beings of pure Chaos. These white slaadi rage against the slaad masters and seek to destroy the Spawning Stone, an act that could potentially destroy the entire slaad race... or doom the entire multiverse as the slaadi return to their primordial, transcendant, apocalyptic forms.

Daze (Ex): Whenever a white slaad makes a successful claw attack, the creature it hit must make a Fortitude save (DC 24) or become dazed. On each of the creature’s turns, it gets another Fortitude save to remove the dazed condition. The save DC is Strength-based. Infestation (Su): Chaos phage. Bite - injury; save Fort DC 26, onset 1 day, effect 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Charisma, cure 2 consecutive saves. An afflicted humanoid reduced to Charisma 0 by chaos phage immediately dies as a slaad tadpole burrows out of its skull. The tadpole eventually matures into a slaad of CR 8 or less, chosen by the GM (or a green slaad if the victim was an arcane spellcaster). This is an infestation effect. A remove disease spell (or similar effect) instantly halts an infestation, but immunity to disease offers no protection, as the infestation itself is caused by a parasite. Part the Veil (Ex): A white slaad can sift through the ever-changing veils of probability to sense attacks coming before they hit. It gains an insight bonus to AC and CMD equal to its Wisdom modifier (+7 for a typical white slaad). Temporal Split (Su): Three times per day as a swift action, a white slaad can pull replicas of itself from the past and future. The white slaad splinters into six temporal replicas, each appearing in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of the white slaad’s previous space. The white slaad disappears, and it cannot attack or be attacked until it reappears. The temporal replicas thereafter act on the white slaad’s turn at the same initiative count. The temporal replicas have the same stats as the white slaad, except as follows: they cannot use any spells or spell-like abilities, they deal only 1d6 additional damage on a sneak attack, they cannot infest their opponents with chaos phage, and they are instantly destroyed whenever they take any damage. When the last temporal replica has been destroyed, the white slaad reappears within 30 feet of the space occupied by that replica on its next initiative count and can act normally (see Advantage of Time above).

Slaad, Gray

Gray slaadi, sometimes called "rift slaadi" for their ability to manipulate the fabric of space, are the sages of the slaadi. They are strangely placid compared to other slaadi and can be approached for advice on matters arcane, though their alien minds still make them dangerous and unpredictable, and their first priority is always themselves.

Like their less sophisticated green kindred, gray slaadi are drawn to magic, but their understanding of the arcane is far deeper. Gray slaadi devote themselves to the study of magic theory and the creation of magic items, making them useful, if volatile, contacts for planar adventurers.

Gray slaadi can continue to evolve into more powerful forms. Most expand their knowledge of time and space, becoming attuned to the flux of probability and metamorphosing into white slaadi, though some gray slaadi become enamored with the destructive potential of magic, undergoing strange rituals that transform them into ferocious death slaadi.

The save DC is Charisma-based. Planar Flux (Su): When a gray slaad is reduced to half its normal full hit points (63 hp for a typical gray slaad), it momentarily loses its grasp on reality, discorporating and then reforming in a new location. The slaad immediately teleports up to 40 ft. away and becomes incorporeal until the end of its next turn.

Slaad, Green

Green slaadi - also known as "curse slaadi" for their rudimentary magic abilities - are slippery brutes who lie and flatter to get their way. They are born when a lesser slaad's chaos phage infests and kills an arcane spellcaster, the victim's eldritch energies unlocking dormant potential in the slaad embryo.

Green slaadi have an instinctive lust for magic and seek out magic items wherever they can, despite having no natural ability to utilize many of them. They use their natural shapeshifting abilities to infiltrate mortal societies in search of new magic. Their obsession is not without purpose, however, for a green slaad that surrounds itself with magic and perfects its control over the supernatural can seal itself away in hibernation for a year, emerging as a newly metamorphosed gray slaad.

If the slaad succeeds on a ranged touch attack, the creature takes 3d6 points of damage; in addition, it is dazed for 1 round unless it succeeds on a Will save (DC 19). The save DC is Charisma-based. Croak of Chaos (Su): A green slaad can focus its chaotic energy into a powerful sonic blast. Once per hour as a standard action, the green slaad can utter a deafening croak at an adjacent creature. If the creature fails a Fortitude save (DC 22), it is affected as if by the chaos hammer spell (CL 9th) and blown away as if the green slaad had used the Awesome Blow feat. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 bonus from the Ability Focus feat. This is a sonic effect. Transposition (Su): As a standard action, a green slaad can warp the fabric of space, causing one creature within 20 feet to teleport up to 50 feet to an unoccupied square of the slaad’s choice (and in its line of sight). The creature gains a Reflex save (DC 19) to avoid this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. The green slaad must wait 1d4 rounds before it can use this ability again.

Slaad, Blue

Blue slaadi are raging instruments of destruction who wage constant, bloody battles against other races and their own kind for no reason but to rest themselves. Unlike most other slaadi, they gather into groups fairly often to share in the exhilaration of combat. They are also inveterate bullies who push around weaker slaadi, especially reds, whose anger and insecurity make them easy targets.

Blue slaadi are quick to anger, though they hold no grudges in defeat. When a battle is over, if the blue slaad still lives, they often feel deep respect for the creatures that defeated them. A certain blue slaad ranger by the name of Xanxost became a member of the Pathfinder Society in this manner and sends frequent dispatches to the mortal coil as he brawls his way across the outer planes.

Given their love of battle, it is no surprise that blue slaadi are often drawn to the faith of Gorum, Our Lord in Iron, god of war. The headstrong creatures rarely deign to worship Gorum, but rather see him as a paragon worthy of emulation, and swear that he is in fact one of their own kind.

Slaad, Red

True to their moniker of "blood slaadi", red slaadi crave violence and bloodshed. They are among the weaker strains of slaadi, a fact that has instilled in them a massive inferiority complex and a constant drive to prove themselves. Red slaadi seek to escape the roiling chaos of the Maelstrom whenever possible so they can establish lairs on other planes and bully weaker creatures.

Red slaadi hate the larger, stronger blue slaadi, who push them around relentlessly. The fact that the two races need each other to reproduce infuriates both of them equally.

RED SLAAD (Blood Slaad) CR: 7 XP: 3,200 CN Large outsider (chaotic, extraplanar, slaad) Init: +2; Senses: Darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +12 Aura: Entropic (5 ft.) __________________________________ AC: 20, touch 12, flat-footed 17 (+2 Dex, +1 dodge, +8 natural, -1 size) hp: 76 (8 HD); fast healing 5 Fort +10, Ref +4, Will +7 Defensive Abilities: Insanity (DC 16); Immune: Sonic; Resist: Acid 5, cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5; SR 18 __________________________________ Speed: 30 ft.

Every creature (except slaadi) within 20 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d3 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based. Implant (Ex): A red slaad that hits with a claw attack can inject an egg pellet into the opponent’s body. The affected creature must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save to avoid implantation. The save DC is Constitution-based. Often the slaad implants an unconscious or otherwise helpless creature (which gets no saving throw). The egg gestates for one week. Twenty-four hours before the egg fully matures, the victim falls extremely ill (-10 to all ability scores, to a minimum of 1). When the egg has finished gestating, it hatches into a slaad tadpole that eats its way out, killing the host. The tadpole eventually matures into a blue slaad (or a green slaad, if the victim was an arcane spellcaster). A DC 25 Heal check rids the victim of the pellet. If the check fails, the healer can try again, but each attempt (successful or not) deals 1d4 points of damage to the patient. This is an infestation effect. A remove disease spell (or similar effect) instantly halts an infestation, but immunity to disease offers no protection, as the infestation itself is caused by a parasite.

Slaad, Mud

Mud slaadi are among the weakest of slaad-kind. They are pathetic, mewling creatures who crave power and attention, but most often resign themselves to being bullied by their larger, stronger kindred. Mud slaadi are insecure and cowardly, whining incessantly to anyone unfortunate to come across them.

Despite their relative weakness compared to others of their kind, mud slaadi are far from harmless. Their razor-sharp teeth and claws are a match for most mortal creatures. They can be ferocious when backed into a corner. A mud slaad's natural cowardice often gets the better of it, however, and its morale gives out easily, leaving it begging for mercy or feigning death.

MUD SLAAD CR: 4 XP: 1,200 CN Medium outsider (chaotic, extraplanar, slaad) Init: +6; Senses: Darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +7 Aura: Entropic (5 ft.) __________________________________ AC: 17, touch 13, flat-footed 14 (+2 Dex, +1 dodge, +4 natural) hp: 45 (6 HD); fast healing 3 Fort +7, Ref +7, Will +0 Defensive Abilities: Cringe, insanity (DC 12); Immune: Sonic; Resist: Acid 5, cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5; SR 15 __________________________________ Speed: 30 ft. Melee: Bite +9 (2d6+3 plus infestation), 2 claws +10 (1d4+3) Special Attacks: Sonic screech Spell-Like Abilities (CL 6th, concentration +5): 1/day - Summon (level 2; 1 mud slaad, 40%; or 1 red slaad, 20%) __________________________________ Str 17, Dex 15, Con 15, Int 6, Wis 6, Cha 8 Base Atk: +6; CMB: +9; CMD: 22 Feats: Dodge, Improved Initiative, Weapon Focus (claw) Skills: Acrobatics +11, Bluff -1 (+9 to feign death), Climb +12, Perception +7, Stealth +11; Racial Modifiers: +10 Bluff to feign death Languages: Slaad SQ: Feign death __________________________________ Environment: Any (The Maelstrom) Organization: Solitary, gang (2-5), or pack (6-10) Treasure: None __________________________________ Cringe (Su): As a standard action, a mud slaad can cower in fear. This is a mind-affecting effect. Any opponent attempting to strike or otherwise directly attack the cringing creature, even with a targeted spell, must attempt a Will save (DC 12). If the save succeeds, the opponent can attack normally and is immune to the effect of that mud slaad’s cringing for 24 hours. If the save fails, the opponent can’t follow through with the attack, that part of the attacker’s action is lost, and the attacker can’t directly attack the mud slaad for as long as it continues to cringe. If the mud slaad stops cringing and then cringes again, the opponent may attempt a new Will save to attack it. The save DC is Charisma-based. Feign Death (Ex): If an opponent strikes a mud slaad and reduces it to 10 or fewer hit points, it can immediately attempt to feign death as an immediate action. Any creature that witnesses a mud slaad that is feigning death, including those creatures that watch it fall, can make a Heal, Perception, or Sense Motive check opposed by the slaad’s Bluff check to determine if the slaad’s death is genuine. Infestation (Su): Chaos phage. Bite - injury; save Fort DC 25, onset 1 day, effect 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Charisma, cure 2 consecutive saves. An afflicted humanoid reduced to Charisma 0 by chaos phage immediately dies as a slaad tadpole burrows out of its skull. The tadpole eventually matures into a mud slaad (or a green slaad if the victim was an arcane spellcaster). This is an infestation effect. A remove disease spell (or similar effect) instantly halts an infestation, but immunity to disease offers no protection, as the infestation itself is caused by a parasite. Sonic Screech (Su): Once per day, a mud slaad can emit a tremendous screech. Every creature within 30 feet must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 15) or take 5d6 points of sonic damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Slaad, Tadpole

Slaad tadpoles are the larval form shared in common by all slaad subspecies. Resembling not a mundane tadpole but a fanged frog's head with a finned tail where its neck should be, these belligerent little creatures swim the tides of chaos everywhere in the Maelstrom. The raw chaos of their bodies is not yet fully coalesced, making them highly elusive.

Slaad tadpoles come into being in countless ways: some spawned through sexual reproduction, some implanted in victims in the form of a deadly virus called "chaos phage" that slowly takes over a host body, and so on. A slaad tadpole matures into an adult slaad in a period of days, months, or even years, the amount of time seemingly random.
