#### special abilities
### Aura of Pain (Su)
The famine spirit radiates a continuous symbol of pain effect as a 60-foot-radius emanation. Creatures within the area must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or be affected while within the area and for 10 minutes after leaving it. A successful save makes a creature immune to that famine spirit's aura pain for 24 hours.
### Create Spawn (Su)
A creature killed by a famine spirit rises as a famine spirit in 1d3 days. This is an uncommon occurance, as most famine spirits will consume any creature it kills.
### Ethereal Jaunt (Su)
Three times per day, a famine spirit can produce an ethereal jaunt effect (caster level 20th).
### Vorpal Bite (Ex)
Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the bite of a famine spirit severs the opponent's head from its body. This ability only affects creatures of Large or smaller size.
