Scarring Spell-Like Ability (Monster)

Source Horror Adventures pg. 92
Your spell-like ability leaves mental scars.

Prerequisites: Spell-like ability at caster level 4th or higher.

Benefit: Choose one of your spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions described in this feat. You can use the chosen spell-like ability as a scarring spell-like ability three times per day (or less, if the ability is normally usable only once or twice per day).

When you use a scarring spell-like ability, a target that fails its saving throw against the spell-like ability takes a –2 penalty on saving throws against emotion and fear effects you create, and a –1 penalty on saving throws against other emotion and fear effects, for the next 24 hours. If the spelllike ability doesn’t allow a saving throw, you can’t choose to enhance it with this feat. Penalties from multiple scarring spell-like abilities don’t stack. This feat can be applied only to spell-like abilities with the emotionUM or fear descriptor.

You can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to 1/2 your caster level (round down) – 1. For a summary, see Table 3–1.

Special: This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, you can apply it to a different spell-like ability.
