View source for Molydeus (3.5e Monster)

===Combat===

Because of their particular duties, molydei are held in high favor by Baphomet, who personally grants them power in order to fulfill responsibilities that match his portfolio. In battle, molydei are vicious and unrelenting able to push their opponents to the brink of death before finally striking a nonfatal finishing blow.

'''{{Anchor|Aura of Primal Emotion}} {{Ex}}:''' A molydeus radiates an aura of fear with a save DC of 26. Those who fail the save against this aura are made to [[SRD:Cowering|cower]] helplessly.

'''{{Anchor|Blessing of the Beast}} {{Sp}}:''' A molydeus can draw power directly from the Prince of Beasts himself, manifesting as a ''[[SRD:Limited Wish|limited wish]]'' spell useable once per hour.

'''{{Anchor|False Swipe}}:''' When a molydeus strikes a blow that would be fatal, it may opt to knock the foe unconscious instead of killing them.

'''{{Anchor|Fiendish Cut}}:''' A molydeus’ axe ignores any damage reduction or hardness, and its fire effects can ignore up to 15 points of fire resistance. In addition, the molydeus may also make melee attacks with its axe out to a distance of 20 feet.

'''{{Anchor|Meteor Smash}} {{Su}}:''' A molydeus’ axe strikes with a blast of flame, dealing 8d6 points of fire damage on each successful attack. Each of his attacks also carries the effect of a targeted ''[[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|greater dispel magic]]'' spell, with the attack roll substituting for the caster level check.

'''{{Anchor|Snakebitten}} {{Ex}}:''' The snake head that the molydeus possesses constantly moves and twitches, covering every angle and preventing the molydeus from being flanked or caught flat-footed. Once per round, as a free action useable out of turn, it may strike at a single opponent within the snake’s reach (which is twice that of the molydeus’ normal reach), dealing damage and forcing the opponent to make a Fortitude save (DC 28) against the molydeus’s poison. The poison deals 1d10 points of Constitution damage and has a Constitution-based save DC.

As a move action, the snake can spit a substantially large amount of venom at the target, dealing 16d6 points of acid damage and subjecting them to its poison.

'''{{Anchor|Spell-Like Abilities}}:''' At will—''[[SRD:Delayed Blast Fireball|delayed blast fireball]]'', ''[[SRD:Greater Shout|greater shout]]'', ''[[SRD:Hold Monster|hold monster]]'', ''[[SRD:Scorching Ray|scorching ray]]'', ''[[SRD:Overland Flight|overland flight]]'', 3/day—''[[SRD:Blasphemy|blasphemy]]'', ''[[SRD:Forcecage|forcecage]]'', ''[[SRD:Maze|maze]]''. Caster level equal to CR (usually 16th). Saves DCs are Charisma-based, and the default DC is 26. 

'''{{Anchor|True Sight}} {{Ex}}:''' A molydeus sees naturally as though it were under the effect of a ''[[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]]'' spell.
