SPECIAL ABILITIES

Dimensional Travel (Sp) A dimensional shambler can
shift back and forth between the planes at will as a
standard action, as if using plane shift. When it travels
in this manner, it always arrives precisely at the location
it wishes, provided it has been to that location before;
otherwise it arrives on the new plane as if via plane shift.
A dimensional shambler normally only transports itself
with this ability, but it can also shift a single creature of
its size or smaller that it has successfully pinned via a
grapple. The creature it is attempting to bring along on
the shift can resist being dimensionally shifted by making
a successful DC 21 Will save. On a success, neither it nor
the dimensional shambler travel, but the shambler is free
to attempt again in succeeding rounds. Treat this ability

as a 6th-level spell.
Impossible Language (Ex) Dimensional shamblers speak
their own impossible language. No other creature can
learn this language. Dimensional shamblers are immune
to language-dependent effects. If a creature attempts
to use tongues or similar magic to communicate with
a dimensional shambler, the attempt to communicate
automatically fails and the creature must make a
successful DC 23 Will saving throw to avoid being
confused for 1d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting
confusion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Regeneration (Ex) A dimensional shambler’s regeneration
is suppressed when it is unable to use teleport effects,
such as when under the effects of dimensional lock or in
the area of a forbiddance or antimagic field.
Tenacious Grappler (Ex) A dimensional shambler never
gains the grappled condition when it successfully
grapples a foe, and it gains a +4 bonus on all attempts to
pin a foe that it is grappling.

The multiverse is made up of millions of planes of
existence, all of which co-exist at all times. Between the
planes, beyond even the astral plane, is the Nothing: a
true emptiness. The interstices are simply barren—a
