Oh, geez, I noticed that before and just missed it this tmie through. Let's do Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat, like demiurge suggested above. No reason to give these things a defense against the magic missile!

Here's a stab at modifying that particular portion of the telekinesis spell into a unique SLA:

Telekinetic Trip (Sp): Three times per day, a viltch can use telekinesis to perform a trip attempt. Resolve this attempt as normal, except that it doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, the viltch uses its Charisma modifier in place of its Strength modifier, and a failed attempt doesn’t allow a reactive attempt by the target. No save is allowed against these attempts, but spell resistance applies normally. (This version of the spell can last 1 round per caster level, but it ends if you cease concentration.)

Since the viltch is "never surprised", shall we give it uncanny dodge?

That all sounds good. Summon viltch is probably equivalent to a 3rd or 4th level spell (better than the babau's summon demon, which is 3rd, but probably worse than a glabrezu's which is 4th).

A babau only gets 1 other babau, and the viltch gets 1d6 of its kind, so I'd err on the side of caution and go with 4th.

Also, caster level 5th for SLAs?

Telekinetic Trip (Sp): Three times per day, a viltch can use telekinesis to perform a trip attempt. Resolve this attempt as normal, except that it doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, the viltch uses its Charisma modifier in place of its Strength modifier, and a failed attempt doesn’t allow a reactive attempt by the target. No save is allowed against these attempts, but spell resistance applies normally. (This version of the spell can last 1 round per caster level, but it ends if you cease concentration.)

Do we want to allow the bolded bit, or just make it a one-shot effect?

Skills: A viltch has a +x racial bonus on Climb, Disable Device, Open Locks, and Sleight of Hand checks.

+8?
