The Gaming Den

All of the following are Class Features of the Bogeyman.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Bogeymen are proficient with all simple weapons as well as one other weapon (Martial or Exotic) of their choice. Bogeymen are proficient with Light Armor, but not with Shields of any kind.
Shadow Ray (Su): A Bogeyman may fire a ray of shadowstuff that assaults the minds and bodies of his enemies as an attack action. A Shadow Ray fires out to short range (25' + 5'/2 levels) and deals 1d6 + Cha mod + level points damage and requires he succeed on a ranged touch attack. Creatures immune to Mind-Affecting effects only take half damage.
Eyes of Night (Su): At 1st level the Bogeyman can see normally in Darkness and Magical Darkness.
Boogie (Su): The Bogeyman is adept at playing on the fears and weaknesses of those whom their ire falls upon. He may only use a limited variety of Boogie's at a time. At 1st level he "knows" every Boogie on the Basic Boogie list and must, at the start of each day, choose which of them he will have access to. At 1st level he has access to 1 Boogie per day, this rises to 2 at 3rd, 3 at 5th, 4 at 8th, 5 at 10th, 6 at 12th, 7 at 15th, 8 at 18th, and 9 at 20th. Most Boogie's have a restriction on when they may be used, although some do not. Unless otherwise noted it requires a Standard Action to activate any Boogie's he has access to that day.

• Eerie Silence: The Bogeyman may cast silence on themselves as a swift action whenever they have total concealment or are otherwise unnoticed by any enemies. This silence effect lasts for 24 hours or until dismissed. Whenever an enemy ("enemy" is anyone the Bogeyman designates or has hostile intent towards the Bogeyman, therefore this ability may be used in non-combat situations if desired) first spots the silenced Bogeyman they must make a Will save against Fear (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) or become shaken for 3 rounds. Anyone who is affected by this ability is vaguely unsettled by the Bogeyman, but they are no more hostile than they would normally be. Creatures that succeed on this save are immune to it's effects for 24 hours.
• Dream Eater: The Bogeyman may use detect thoughts as a swift action on any sleeping creatures within a 50' radius centered on himself. Any creature he is examining that he used his Schlaf Gut ability to put to sleep is immediately subject to the 3rd round of examination and does not receive a Will save.
• Dark Minion: Once per day per Cha mod a Bogeyman may summon a single animal with the dark creature(ToM) template. The summoned animal may not exceed half the Bogeyman's CR. The summoned creature remains for 10 rounds.
• Quiet Vision: The Bogeyman may use silent image as a Spell-Like Ability at will. Caster level is equal to character level. He may only use this ability if he has concealment or is otherwise unnoticed by any enemies.
• Mantle of Shadow: The Bogeyman may use disguise self at will, he may only use this ability if he has total concealment or is otherwise unnoticed by any enemies.
• Crawling Darkness: The Bogeyman causes countless shifting hands to form out of a creature's own shadow and drag that creature to the ground. This ability has a short range and requires a ranged touch attack. If the attack succeeds it causes the targeted creature to have a fifty percent chance of being grappled. If it succeeds the Bogeyman must concentrate to maintain this effect, and may attempt to pin the target, with a fifty percent chance, on subsequent rounds. If a grapple check ever fails the effect ends. This ability may not be used on creatures with a CR higher than the Bogeyman's CR.
• Whispers of Nightmare: Your soothing whispers lull your target into a surreal waking dream. The target must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) or become confused for 3 rounds. This is a Mind-Affecting, Sonic ability. Creatures that succeed on this save are immune to it's effects for 24 hours.
• Insidious Visage: A Bogeyman gains a competence bonus to his bluff and intimidate skills equal to his character level.

Schlaf Gut (Su): At 2nd level the Bogeyman may attempt to lull a single creature into a magical slumber. This is a short range Mind-Affecting ability that may be used 1 time per day for every 2 character levels as a standard action. It can affect a creature with HD up to twice the Bogeyman's level. If the target succeeds on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) it does not fall asleep. If it fails it's save it falls into a deep slumber for 1 hour per level the Bogeyman possesses, unless awoken.
Fade into Shade (Su): At 2nd level the Bogeyman gains the ability to use areas of shadow to conceal himself from prying eyes. Whenever he is within an area of shadow he may fade into a small pocket of an extradimensional shadow realm (related to, but distinct from, the plane of shadow). While hidden in this realm he is fully aware of everything he could sense on the plane where he entered the planar pocket from, though only using non-magical means, i.e. his normal senses although this includes his Eyes of Night ability. He is completely hidden from detection while in this realm, including any divination magic. He may not affect anything outside the planar pocket while he is hidden within it. He may only exit from the planar pocket near the point of entry and only if there are still areas of shadow. Thus he can become trapped in this planar pocket if the sun rises, or someone casts a light spell, or anything else that results in the elimination of the shadowy illumination near his point of entry. At higher levels it becomes more difficult to trap him. He may exit from the pocket up to 5' per level away from his point of entry, so long as there are areas of shadow to emerge from. He may bring any creatures he is currently grappling along with him, such creatures can exit the pocket if they are not grappled or otherwise immobilized. At level 10 he learns how to bring others with him and may bring along up to 7 other willing targets.
Immunity to Fear: At 2nd level a Bogeyman becomes immune to any Fear effects.
Invisibility (Su): At 3rd level the Bogeyman may become invisible at will, as per the spell invisibility.
Scent of Fear (Su): At 4th level a Bogeyman can sense the deepest fears of his opponents. As a swift action he may attempt to learn either a great strength or a great weakness of his enemy. The target must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) or the Bogeyman learns one pertinent fact about the creature. A pertinent fact would be whether the creature has damage reduction, spell resistance, it's strongest attribute, weakest attribute, strongest ability, immunities, etc.

The target must succeed on a Will save against Fear(DC 8 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) or have rent from its mind the most fearful images which are then given form and the ability to attack the target. To everyone but the target the creature appears as a shadowy amorphous form that is constantly shifting. The creature immediately attacks the target who must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) or die. If the target succeeds on the fortitude save it does not die and instead shifts form into one shadow elemental (ToM) who’s CR cannot be greater than the target’s CR -3.

If the Bogeyman has total concealment or is otherwise unnoticed the duration increases to 5 rounds and he may make a second attempt on a subsequent turn (and only a second attempt) against creatures that succeeded on their first save. Creatures that succeed on this save are immune to its effects for 24 hours.
• The Dreaming: The Bogeyman is able to enter the dreams of his prey and alter their minds, he may enter the dreams of any creature he can see or is currently scrying. He can attempt to implant a course of action that the hapless victim must follow at the next opportunity. This functions just like a suggestion except that it is possible to induce self-destructive behavior. The target gets a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha mod) to prevent the Bogeyman from entering their dreams, and they receive a second will save if the suggested course of action is unusual or self-destructive.
• Symbol of Weakness: 3/day the Bogeyman may use symbol of weakness as a Spell-Like Ability. Caster level is equal to character level.

Flensing of Fear (Su): At 15th level the Bogeyman can induce fear so great that it causes physical harm to his targets. Any creature within 30’ of the Bogeyman that becomes shaken or frightened takes damage equal to the Bogeyman’s level. Any creature within 30’ of the Bogeyman that becomes panicked or starts cowering immediately loses half their hit points (rounded down) or takes damage equal to the Bogeyman’s level, whichever is higher. These effects stack with the effects from Miasma of Fear. Feel free to describe how they take this damage in whatever horrible means you’d like.
Oogie Boogie: From 17th level on the Bogeyman can select abilities from the Oogie Boogie list:

• Bane of the Sun: 3/day a Bogeyman may shift the surrounding landscape, and any creatures in it, partially into the plane of shadow. The Bogeyman gets to choose which creatures come with him and which are left behind. This shifts an area of 1 mile square, centered on the Bogeyman. It causes the sky to darken and shapes to become somewhat indistinct. If this is done during the day then everywhere within the square is considered to be an area of shadowy illumination which darkvision, low-light vision, etc cannot penetrate. If done during the night then it is totally dark and even those with darkvision cannot see. The allies of the Bogeyman (and the Bogeyman himself) are able to see normally and the Bogeyman is undetectable by blindsense, tremorsense, scent, or any other such ability.
