Feats: Multiattack, Power Attack
Gear: Studded Leather Armor, Winter's Blade (Small Frost Axe +1)
• Barbarian Rage (Ex): 2/day, gain +4 Str/Con and -2 AC for 7 rounds
• Christmas Cheer & Goodwill (Ex): All non-hostile NPCs and animals are one category improved upon first meeting a Christmas Elf (e.g. creatures who are indifferent become friendly, etc). Even hostile creatures consider hurting Christmas Elves a lower priority than other creatures they are hostile against. Future actions on the part of the Christmas Elf can change NPC attitudes. The Corrupted Christmas Elf leaves NPCs and animals unsettled, canceling out this ability.
• Disruptive Attack (Su): The corrupt creature deals additional vile damage when it touches uncorrupted, living, corporeal non-outsiders. The amount of vile damage dealt is equal to half of the creature's Hit Dice (maximum 20 points of damage).
• Enhanced Power (Su): The save DCs of any and all of the corrupt creature's special attacks increase by +4.
• Fast Healing (Ex): Each round, a corrupted creature heals damage equal to half of its Hit Dice (maximum of 10 points healed).
• Fast Movement (Ex): A Barbarian in light or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load gains a +10' bonus to their land speed. This is canceled out by the Corrupted template.
• Non-violent Mentality (Ex): Whenever a Christmas Elf willfully causes harm to a creature (anything causing pain), the elf must make a Will save with a DC of 10 + the damage dealt + ½ the non-lethal damage dealt. If the elf fails the save, he takes one point of Wisdom damage, and is shaken for a number of rounds equal to his total amount of Wisdom damage. (Note that causing pain without damage is still DC 10). These Corrupted Christmas Elves do not have any problem with violence.
• The Spirit of Giving (Su): Whenever a Christmas Elf freely gives away an item it has crafted, they may regain experience equal to the experience cost of crafting the item. If it is given back, the experience penalty is reapplied.
• Superior Craftsmanship (Ex): The Craft skill is always a Class skill, and 5 ranks in any particular craft sub-skill gives a +2 bonus (as per synergy) in every other Craft sub-skill. This bonus does not count for violent items.
• Wonderful Toys (Su): When crafting non-violent objects with the Craft skill, all items are counted as only costing half as much as the listed value. This reduces the raw materials cost by half, and crafting time in half, as described in the Craft skill. Experience costs are also reduced by half. None of these reductions count for violent items, as the christmas elf lacks their quasi-magical inspiration when they apply themselves to such end.

• Hide in Plain Sight (Su): Shadar-kai can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as they are not illuminated by natural daylight, the daylight spell, or similar magical light, shadar-kai can hide themselves from view in the open without having anything to actually hide behind.
• Shadow Curse (Su): The Plane of Shadow exerts a tremendous pull on shadar-kai's soul, which is only tenuously connected to its mortal body. Any time a shadar-kai is stunned, dazed, staggered, or unconscious (other than from natural sleep), the shadow fey must make a Will save (DC 15) or lose a portion of her soul to the Plane of Shadow. The shadar-kai must also attempt a save any time she removes a gal-ralan, if she has one.
A shadar-kai with a damaged soul gains one negative level that cannot be removed until she restores her soul completely. If exposed to another event that requires a save against the shadow curse, a shadar-kai may gain additional negative levels. A shadar-kai on the Plane of Shadow can transfix her soul to her body again with a greater restoration spell. A shadar-kai on the Material Plane (or elsewhere) must use a wish or miracle spell to restore her soul.
A shadar-kai afflicted with the shadow curse cannot be raised from the dead or resurrected, and cannot gain experience. The touch of the shadow curse galls a shadar-kai, filling her heart with an icy emptiness that eventually drives all but the most determined individuals to capitulate and leave the Material Plane altogether.
A shadar-kai who goes to the Plane of Shadow and remains there ameliorates the effects of the shadow curse and suffers no ill effects. However, if she leaves the Plane of Shadow without restoring her soul, she suffers the effects of the shadow curse until she returns to the Plane of Shadow or restores her soul.
• Superior Low-Light Vision (Ex): Shadar-kai have extraordinary vision in low-light conditions. They can see four times as far as a human in low-light conditions.

• Hide in Plain Sight (Su): Shadar-kai can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as they are not illuminated by natural daylight, the daylight spell, or similar magical light, shadar-kai can hide themselves from view in the open without having anything to actually hide behind.
• Shadow Curse (Su): The Plane of Shadow exerts a tremendous pull on shadar-kai's soul, which is only tenuously connected to its mortal body. Any time a shadar-kai is stunned, dazed, staggered, or unconscious (other than from natural sleep), the shadow fey must make a Will save (DC 15) or lose a portion of her soul to the Plane of Shadow. The shadar-kai must also attempt a save any time she removes a gal-ralan, if she has one.
A shadar-kai with a damaged soul gains one negative level that cannot be removed until she restores her soul completely. If exposed to another event that requires a save against the shadow curse, a shadar-kai may gain additional negative levels. A shadar-kai on the Plane of Shadow can transfix her soul to her body again with a greater restoration spell. A shadar-kai on the Material Plane (or elsewhere) must use a wish or miracle spell to restore her soul.
A shadar-kai afflicted with the shadow curse cannot be raised from the dead or resurrected, and cannot gain experience. The touch of the shadow curse galls a shadar-kai, filling her heart with an icy emptiness that eventually drives all but the most determined individuals to capitulate and leave the Material Plane altogether.
A shadar-kai who goes to the Plane of Shadow and remains there ameliorates the effects of the shadow curse and suffers no ill effects. However, if she leaves the Plane of Shadow without restoring her soul, she suffers the effects of the shadow curse until she returns to the Plane of Shadow or restores her soul.
• Superior Low-Light Vision (Ex): Shadar-kai have extraordinary vision in low-light conditions. They can see four times as far as a human in low-light conditions.
