View source for SRD:Babau

===Combat===
Babaus are sneaky and sly. They attack the most powerful foe first, hoping to eliminate the true threats quickly and then toy with the rest. When ambushing their opponents, they make excellent use of the combination of multiple attacks and sneak attacks.

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

'''Sneak Attack ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A babau can make a sneak attack like a [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]], dealing an extra 2d6 points of damage whenever a foe is denied his or her [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus, or when the babau is flanking.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Darkness|darkness]], [[SRD:Dispel Magic|dispel magic]], [[SRD:See Invisibility|see invisibility]]'', ''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' (self plus 50 pounds of objects only). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 7th.

'''Protective Slime ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A slimy red jelly coats the babau’s skin. Any weapon that touches it takes 1d8 points of acid damage from the corrosive goo, and the weapon’s hardness does not reduce this damage. A [[SRD:Magic Weapon|magic weapon]] may attempt a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 18 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]] to avoid taking this damage. A creature who strikes the babau with an unarmed attack, [[SRD:Unarmed Strike|unarmed strike]], touch spell, or [[SRD:Natural Weapon|natural weapon]] takes this damage as well but can negate the damage with a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 18 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''''Summon Demon'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):'''Once per day a babau can attempt to summon 1 babau with a 40% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Babaus have a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]], and [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] checks.
