#### special abilities
### Aura of Loss (Su)
A sorrowsworn demon radiates feelings of intense personal loss. Any creature within 30 feet of a sorrowsworn demon must succeed at a DC 26 Will save or be overwhelmed with feelings of despair as they continually visualize the most terrible losses they've ever endured or can imagine happening. These feelings manifest as a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks. An opponent that fails this save and has also had its mind read by the sorrowsworn demon is more likely to fall victim to its whispers of loss. In addition, due to the distracting nature of the aura, any affected creatures that attempt to cast spells must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to avoid losing the spell. This ability lasts for as long as affected creatures remain within the area of the aura and for 2d6 rounds after they leave. Creatures that leave the aura and reenter must make another save upon reentry or be affected once more, regardless of whether they made their initial saving throw. The sorrowsworn demon can suppress or activate this ability at will as a free action. This is a emorion, mind-affecting ability. The save DC is Charisma-based.
### Mind Reading (Sp)
Once per round as a free action, a sorrowsworn demon can read the mind of one opponent (Will DC 24 negates). This ability functions exactly as the detect thoughts spell (caster level 20th), except that the effect is immediate. An opponent that fails this save and has also succumbed to the sorrowsworn demon's aura of loss is more likely to fall victim to its whispers of loss. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to that sorrowsworn demon's mind reading ability for the next 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.
### Strong Willed (Ex)
Masters of manipulating minds, sorrowsworn demons are in turn especially resistant to similar abilities. They have a +4 racial bonus on saves against mind-affecting spells and abilities.
### Whispers of Loss (Su)
A sorrowsworn demon preys on an enemy's feelings of loss, both real and projected. Sorrowsworn whisper and hiss constantly, both aloud and in the minds of those creatures that can understand it. A sorrowsworn demon can intensify these whispers, focusing them as a swift action each round on one target within 60 feet. These intensified whispers of loss have different effects, depending on the sorrowsworn demon's whims and tactics. Future Sorrow: A sorrowsworn demon whispers of the losses to come, and the futility of struggling against the inevitability of loss. The target creature must succeed at a DC 24 Will save or be stunned for 2 rounds. Great Emptiness: A sorrowsworn demon whispers of the great losses of history— genocides, mass murders, great tragedies, and empty sacrifices. The target creature must succeed at a DC 24 Will save or become confused for 5 rounds. Past Losses: A sorrowsworn demon describes the target creature's past losses, both real and imagined. The target creature must succeed at a DC 24 Will save or be dazed for 3 rounds as it contemplates all the losses of its life (Will DC 24 negates). This is a language-dependant, mind-affecting emotion effect. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw against a whispers of loss effect is immune to that effect (but not the other effects) for 24 hours. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
