SPECIAL ABILITIES

Hail of Darts (Su)

The paigoel can project a fusillade of darts from its palm in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide. Those caught in the hail take 10d6 damage, or half damage on a DC 23 Reflex save. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Multiweapon Mastery (Ex)

A paigoel never takes penalties to its attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons.

Potent Charge (Ex)

The paigoel can use its multiple arms to make extra attacks when charging. At the end of a successful charge, it can make up to three attacks that round instead of the normal one.

Whirling Blades (Ex)

The paigoel can use its multiple arms to defend and attack. As a full-round action it can choose to grant itself a +5 deflection bonus to AC but then can only make 5 melee attacks in that round. This bonus to AC lasts until the paigoel’s next turn.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Abyss)
Organization solitary, pair or patrol (4-6)
Treasure standard (10 cold iron longswords, other treasure)

The fearsome paigoel serve as abyssal shock troops and guardians for demon lords. The demons stand over 10-feet tall and possess five evenly spaced pairs of arms, legs and eyes as if they are the fusion of five separate humanoids. In fact, paigoel are such a conglomeration. Fashioned from the bodies and souls of demon worshippers slain during orgies of self-immolation and sacrifice, the paigoel displays utter devotion to its lord and role. However, not all paigoel come from such beings. Any creature taken by a demon can be made into a paigoel. Adventurers killed in the Abyss or who run afoul of some demon lord on the Material Plane often wind up incorporated into a paigoel’s body. It amuses some demons to create paigoels from single adventuring bands who intruded upon its realm or challenged its evil schemes. The resulting creature retains the memories of its previous existence. Paigoel created from unwilling subjects takes out the agony and despair of its condition on the enemies of its lord. A paigoel’s other Knowledge skill is based upon the creatures from which it originated.

A paigoel opens a fight with a hail of darts against the greatest cluster of opponents. In combat, since it has no fear of being flanked, the paigoel wades amongst foes to gain as many melee attacks as possible. The ten attacks of a paigoel can wreak massive damage. Most paigoel employ longswords in combat but can use any weapon with which they are proficient, including two-handed weapons.
