### Special Abilities

**Attraction Aura (Su)** Rytara exudes a 50-foot aura whenever it remains motionless for at least 1 round. All non-good creatures that enter this area must make a DC 21 Will save to avoid being compelled to move toward Rytara’s location. If Rytara moves, the effect ends for all currently affected creatures. This is a mind-affecting compulsion. The save DC is Charisma-based.

**Dual Wielder (Ex)**Rytara does not take a penalty on attack or damage rolls when attacking with two weapons.

**Infused Weapons (Su)** Weapons Rytara wields are considered to be magic for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. In addition, such weapons gain the ability to deliver Rytara’s poison on a successful attack.

**Poison (Ex)** Bite or weapon—injury; *save*Fort DC 23; *frequency*1/round for 6 rounds; *effect*1d4 Con damage; *cure*2 consecutive saves.

**Seductive Presence (Su)** Unlike most demon lords, Rytara does not possess a frightful presence ability. Rather, he has a seductive presence that he can activate as a free action whenever he speaks or uses a spell-like ability. Anyone within 180 feet who fails a DC 43 Fortitude save loses any immunity to mind-affecting effects, charm effects and compulsion effects and becomes fascinated by Rytara for 5d4 rounds. A creature affected by a mind-affecting effect while within this aura remains affected even after leaving Rytara’s seductive presence. Creatures that succeed at this saving throw are immune to this ability for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

**Domination (Su)** As a standard action, Rytara can crush a foe’s will. The target must be visible to Rytara and within 120 feet. It must succeed at a DC 43 Will save or fall instantly under Rytara’s influence as *dominate monster* (CL 30th). If he uses domination against a humanoid creature, he may instead choose to use the ability as a swift action, and it functions as *dominate person*. As long as the target is under this effect, it gains a +4 profane bonus on all saving throws against targets other than Rytara.
