These beings outwardly resemble humans, but rarely display any human emotions beyond those needed by their cover, leading many to believe that they are aloof or quietly hostile individuals. Faders typically work as scientists or engineers to both further their masters' enigmatic goals and to fuel their diet of electromagnetic energy. A particularly desperate individual of the species may even raid television or radio towers to survive.The few known faders are presumably all from the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, although it is not unlikely that more may have been created in similar experiments performed since that time. Faders usually prefer flight over fight, but will engage in combat if their mission is compromised or they are directly threatened without any apparent means of escape.Species TraitsEthereal Jaunt (Su): A fader can shift from the physical world to an ethereal dimension during the course of any move action, and shift back again as a free action. It can remain in this pocket dimension for 1 round before returning to the physical world. The ability is otherwise identical with the ethereal jaunt spell (caster level 13th).Fuse (Su): Once per day, a fader can cause a creature it has successfully hit with a melee attack to fuse with nearby matter. At the time of the attack, the target creature must be within 5 feet of a solid object with a volume at least equal to its own. (In most cases, the ground or a wall is sufficient.) The target must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the fader’s Hit Dice + its Charisma modifier) or be fused with the object, taking 2d8 points of Strength and Constitution damage.If the target survives this damage they are unable to move away from the object into which they are fused, and suffer a -4 penalty on all their attack rolls, ability checks and skill checks due to their pain and restricted movement. These penalties persist until all the ability damage the victim took from the fuse attack has been healed. A fused victim can be torn free with a DC 22 Strength check, but takes 1d10 hit points of damage for every attempt (successful or otherwise), or they can be surgically removed from the fused object with a successful Treat Injury check (DC 25).Faders In Dungeons and DragonsEnvironment: Any urbanTreasure: StandardAlignment: Usually Neutral EvilFaders are the spawn of aberrations from the far reaches, rather than extraterrestrials. They are likely to gather around alchemical laboratories or wizard's towers to feast upon any ambient energy they need to sustain themselves.
