SPECIAL ABILITIES

Fulvous Dreams (Su) When Hastur uses his nightmare
spell-like ability on a creature that has seen the Yellow
Sign, he also afflicts that creature with horrifying dreams
tinted with a nauseating yellow color and thick with
overwhelming sensations of decadence, shame, and
entropic disorder. In addition to the effect of nightmare,
the target must also succeed at a DC 40 Will save or be
compelled to seek out a Yellow Sign, throwing all of his
resources and actions into the obsession. While obsessed,
the target takes a –4 penalty on Will saving throws, saving
throws against symbol spells, concentration checks, and

Wisdom-based skill checks. This obsession effect ends
immediately if the victim looks upon the Yellow Sign. This
is a mind-affecting curse effect. The save DC is Charismabased.
Immortality (Ex) If Hastur is slain, the robes that drape his
frame suddenly drop to the ground as if whatever shape
supported them had suddenly ceased to exist. The robes
themselves remain inanimate on the ground, but any
humanoid creature that touches them must succeed at a
DC 40 Will save to resist a sudden urge to put the robes
on. Doing so is a full-round action that provokes attacks
of opportunity. Once it has donned Hastur's robes, the
creature immediately perishes and its body is destroyed.
In its place, Hastur lives again, as if brought back via true
resurrection. If the discarded robes are not donned within
24 hours, they fade away, leaving behind a faint yellow
stain. In this case, Hastur can't manifest a physical body
again until the conditions are right, or until an unwitting
