This gaze attack can be disabled as a move action, and is automatically disabled if the orrery uses its prismatic refraction ability or if the prismatic sphere is temporarily dispelled. The save DC is Constitution-based. Dispel Resistance (Su) The prismatic sphere at the center of the orrery (CL 20th) can be dispelled with a targeted dispel magic spell, but only temporarily. As the sphere is fueled by the elemental energies within the Prismatic Lantern’s demiplane, it reappears after 1d3 rounds. While the prismatic sphere is inactive, the prismatic orrery cannot use its blinding pulse and prismatic refraction abilities. Prismatic Refraction (Ex) As a standard action, the prismatic orrery can position its many rings and lenses such that the magical energy of the prismatic sphere at its center is aimed in a series of beams at all targets within 60 feet. These beams take the form of a prismatic spray spell (CL Prismatic Orrery 13th); determine the color of each ray randomly with a roll of 1d8 as indicated in the spell. A prismatic refraction ray is a ranged touch attack with a +17 bonus to hit and a save DC of 21. It takes the prismatic orrery 1d4 rounds to recalibrate its lenses to recharge this ability. The save DC is Dexterity-based. 53 Tomb of the Necrophage “It’s true, Yamasa was a prosperous nation. But that was in the past, before the hurricane came. Their ruling caste—the Koboto—survived the storms and floods that devastated their country. They turned to cannibalistic rites and ancient superstitions in order to hold on to their lands, but they’ve lost any morality they ever had. They now revere a horrid pantheon of gluttony, and animate whatever corpses they don’t eat. The Koboto raid the tombs in their flooded land to feast upon their dead ancestors with zeal, believing they draw spiritual strength from these vile acts.
