Dark nagas speak Common and Infernal.

Combat

Dark nagas prefer to fight from an elevated position where they get a good view of the battlefield while also staying out of reach.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 16 or lapse into a nightmare-haunted sleep for 2d4 minutes. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Spells: Dark nagas cast spells as 7th-level sorcerers.

Typical Sorcerer Spells Known (6/7/7/5; save DC 13 + spell level): 0—daze, detect magic, light, mage hand, open/close, ray of frost, read magic; 1st—expeditious retreat, magic missile, ray of enfeeblement, shield, silent image; 2nd—cat’s grace, invisibility, scorching ray; 3rd—displacement, lightning bolt.

Resistance to Charm: Dark nagas have a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against all charm effects (not included in the statistics block).

Detect Thoughts (Su): A dark naga can continuously use detect thoughts as the spell (caster level 9th; Will DC 15 negates). This ability is always active. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Guarded Thoughts (Ex): Dark nagas are immune to any form of mind reading.
