View source for SRD:Cauchemar Nightmare

===Combat===

A nightmare can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also fight unless he or she succeeds on a [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check.

A nightmare’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''Flaming Hooves {{Su}}:''' A blow from a nightmare’s hooves sets combustible materials alight.

'''Smoke {{Su}}:''' During the excitement of battle, a nightmare snorts and neighs with rage. This snorting fills a 15-foot cone with a hot, sulfurous smoke that chokes and blinds opponents. Anyone in the cone must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 24 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or take a –2 penalty on all attack and [[SRD:Attack Damage|damage rolls]] until 1d6 minutes after leaving the cone. The cone lasts 1 [[SRD:Round|round]], and the nightmare uses it once as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] during its turn each [[SRD:Round|round]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

Because of the smoke it gives off, a nightmare has [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] against creatures 5 feet away and total [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] against creatures 10 feet or farther away. The smoke does not obscure the nightmare’s vision at all.

'''Astral Projection and Etherealness {{Su}}:''' These abilities function just like the [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] of the same names ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 20th); a nightmare can use either at will.

'''Carrying Capacity:''' A light load for a cauchemar is up to 612 pounds; a medium load, 613–1,224 pounds; and a heavy load, 1,225–1,840 pounds.</onlyinclude>
