An Elder & Malevolent Lineage
An Elder & Malevolent Lineage -- Pathfinder Monster Family Trait
You draw your dark ancestry from a true lord amongst the damned, a veritable prince of wickedness ... or queen of immortal cruelty.
Brought to you absolutely free to enjoy, to test & to share – as always – by the fine folks of my Patreon.

Prerequisite: Half-Fiend template; bloodline empowered by a fiendish creature of truly legendary, mythic or minor-deity (or greater) status
Benefit: Choose any number of spell-like abilities granted by the half-fiend template. You may replace any or all of these with spells of the same level or lower, as you desire.
These new spells must be thematically appropriate to your ancestry. Thus, if you were a descendant of Yhidothrus -- or empowered by the blood of a lesser demon lord who served or eventually became a part of Yhidothrus -- you might choose delayed reaction in place of darkness and/or desecrate, sands of time in place of unholy blight, threefold aspect in place of contagion, flash forward in place of unhallow and temporal stasis in place of destruction.
Designer’s Note: Use of this Trait is often paid-off by selecting a Drawback such as Umbral Unmasking or Warded Against Nature, and is intended for NPCs and monsters only.
