Unseelie Court Influence

Those that stumble upon areas protected by spiteful fey often suffer from seizures or strokes brought on by foul otherworldly curses. Sometimes, a trespasser finds that while her body and mind are wracked, her perceptions expand painfully, allowing her to see her tormentors and their fellows as she otherwise never could. The Unseelie Court, sometimes known as the Winter Court, is a group of fey associated with decadence, corruption, and negative aspects of nature. Their numbers include the bogeyman, bog nixie, fey creature, forlarren, gremlin, grimstalker, huldra, kelpie, larabay, lurker in light, mite, nereid, norn, nuckelavee, pech, quickling, redcap, rusalka, spring-heeled jack, skin stealer, sprite, twigjack, and other destructive fey. A medium with Unseelie Court influence can call a fey whose Challenge Rating is less than or equal to her medium level with her séance ability even if the fey exceeds her Hit Dice limit.

She gains damage reduction 5/cold iron which stacks with any other damage reduction penetrated by cold iron. While in a trance, she emanates an aura of decay that causes any other creature that suffers hit point damage within 20 feet to additionally suffer 5 points of bleed.
