SPECIAL ABILITIES

Telekinetic Strike (Su)

Tsotsidaemons naturally augment their slam attacks with instinctive telekinesis, adding to their reach and allowing them to move enemies into danger. The daemon can pull or push any opponent of any size with a free combat maneuver check after a successful attack. If successful, the daemon pushes or pulls the creature 10 feet plus 10 feet for every 5 that the daemon exceeds the target’s CMD. The creature pulled or pushed does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and stops if the push or pull would move them into a solid object or creature.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Abaddon)
Organization solitary
Treasure standard

Spiteful even by daemonic standards, the tsotsidaemons represent death by catastrophic acceleration. Their daemonic nature gives them rough control over objects around them, which most actively seek to focus with arcane study. The daemons delight in carefully choosing and preparing a battlefield with dangerous hazards, pits, and debris they can control.
