Half-fiends are creatures heavily tainted with demonic, infernal, or other evil power.
“Half-fiend” is an inherited or acquired template that can be added to a living, corporeal creature with an Int score of 4 or more. A half-fiend uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
CR: HD 4 or less, as base creature + 1; HD 5 to 10, as base creature + 2; HD 11 or more, as base creature + 3.
Alignment: Any evil.
Type: The creature's type changes to outsider (native). Do not recalculate HD, BAB, or saves.
Armor Class: Natural armor improves by +1.
Defenses/Qualities: Gains darkvision 60 feet; immunity to poison; acid, cold, electricity, and fire resistance 10; DR 5/magic (if HD 11 or less) or 10/magic (if HD 12 or more); and SR equal to creature's CR + 11 (maximum 35).
Speed: Unless the base creature flies better, the half-fiend flies at twice the base creature's land speed (good).
Melee: A half-fiend gains two claw attacks and a bite attack. Damage depends on its size (see pages 301–302).
Special Attacks: A half-fiend gains the following.
Smite Good (Su): Once per day as a swift action the half-fiend can smite good as the smite evil ability of a paladin of the same level as the half-fiend's Hit Dice, except affecting a good target. The smite persists until the target is dead of the half-fiend rests.
Spell-Like Abilities: A half-fiend with an Int or Wis score of 8 or higher has a cumulative number of spell-like abilities set by its HD. Unless otherwise noted, an ability is usable 1/day. CL equals the creature's HD (or the CL of the base creature's spell-like abilities, whichever is higher).
| HD | Abilities |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Darkness 3/day |
| 3–4 | Desecrate |
| 5–6 | Unholy blight |
| 7–8 | Poison 3/day |
| 9–10 | Contagion |
| 11–12 | Blasphemy |
| 13–14 | Unholy aura 3/day, unhallow |
| 15–16 | Horrid wilting |
| 17–18 | Summon monster IX (fiends only) |
| 19–20 | Destruction |
Abilities: A half-fiend gains a +4 bonus on three ability scores of its choice and a +2 bonus on the other three.
Skills: A half-fiend with racial HD has skill points per racial HD equal to 6 + Int mod. Racial class skills are unchanged, and class level skill ranks are unaffected.
