Ability

See Magic

An algea can see magic auras on creatures or objects that it can observe; it can't see magic auras on creatures or objects that are hidden from its view. It learns the schools of magic for all spells affecting creatures.

 

Ability

Soul Cage

10-foot status penalty to Speeds for 1 round. Failure As success, but the undead is also immobilized for 1 round, although it can attempt to Escape (DC 30). Critical Failure The undead is restrained for 1 round. The algea can attempt to plane shift with the restrained creature even if that creature isn't willing, but an unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to resist plane shift. If it succeeds, the algea plane shifts and leaves the incorporeal creature behind, which is then no longer restrained.

The creature is unaffected.

 

Trait

Monitor

Creatures that hail from or have a strong connection to the neutrally aligned planes are called monitors. Monitors can survive the basic environmental effects of planes in the Outer Sphere.

 

Trait

Psychopomp

A family of monitors spawned within the Boneyard to convey souls to the Outer Planes, most psychopomps are true neutral. They typically have darkvision, lifesense, and spirit touch, and they are immune to death effects.

 

Trait

Swarm

A swarm is a mass or cloud of creatures that functions as one monster. Its size entry gives the size of the entire mass, though for most swarms the individual creatures that make up that mass are Tiny. A swarm can occupy the same space as other creatures, and must do so in order to use its damaging action. A swarm typically has weakness to effects that deal damage over an area (like area spells and splash weapons). Swarms are immune to the grappled, prone, and restrained conditions.
