Pathfinder Remaster. Stats use the Pathfinder Remaster rules from Pathfinder Monster Core 2.
The Pakalchi is a Level 9 creature, with Armor Class 26 and 150 hit points. The pakalchi is a malicious sahkil fiend that embodies the terror of intimacy and the agony of betrayal.
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental). A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would. Easy to Call. A pakalchi's level is considered 2 lower for the purpose of being conjured by the Binding Circle ritual (and potentially other rituals, at the GM's discretion), but it is always free to attack or leave instead of negotiate unless the primary caster's check is a critical success. Constant Spells. A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires. Entangling Train (reaction). Trigger A creature moves adjacent to the pakalchi. Effect Writhing, pitch-black vines wrap around the creature. The creature takes 1d6 slashing damage and takes a -15-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds until the end of its next turn. Betrayal Toxin (divine, mental, poison). A creature affected by betrayal toxin hears whispers of incessant doubt in their head and can't treat any creature as their ally. Saving Throw DC 28 Fortitude save. Maximum Duration 6 rounds. Stage 1 Stupefied 1 (1 round). Stage 2 Stupefied 2 (1 round) Skip Between (1 action) (divine, teleportation). The sahkil moves from the Universe to the Ethereal Plane or vice-versa. While in the Ethereal Plane, they're unable to affect anything in the Universe, and they cannot be seen by beings or abilities in the Universe, unless these have an ability that can gaze into the Ethereal Plane. While on the Material Plane the inverse is true for anything on the Ethereal Plane. A summoned sahkil can't use Skip Between.
