[/I] Spectral Slivers are the next step in undead sliver evolution, and unlike their lesser kin the crypt slivers, they are highly aggressive creatures, which attack everything and everyone unless contained either through magic or by domination from a sliver noble. A spectral sliver looks like a sliver composed entirely from wisps of white and gray smoke, despite their appearance though, they are not incorporeal, just highly unstable. [B]Combat: [/B] Spectral Slivers fight like berserkers attacking everything within reach, the give no quarter and expect none in return. [B]Ability Damage (Su):[/B] Anyone hit by the natural weapons of a spectral sliver must make a fort save (DC: 15) or take one point of temporary constitution damage. On a critical hit, this damage is doubled, permanent, and allows no save. For each point of Constitution damage dealt by the spectral sliver, it gains 5 temporary hp. The save DC is Charisma-based. [B]Gaseous Form (Ex):[/B] The spectral slivers body consists mostly of translucent wisps of smoke, which grants it DR 10/magic and the ability to squeeze through even the tiniest crack at its normal move speed. However, it cannot run, or exert force on objects. Additionally it is subject to the effects of wind and can be “herded” by wind spells such as [I]control winds[/I] and [I]wind wall[/I].
