Mi'raj

Mi’raj creatures are unusual enchanted beasts with magical powers and a unicorn-like horn on their forehead. The rabbit-like al-mi’raj is the most well-known of these creatures, but other mi’raj creatures are possible, through either arcane experimentation or natural manifestation. Most mi’raj creatures are found in or near unspoiled natural areas.

Mi’raj creatures are distingushed by their single horn and unusual coloration (usually pastel shades). Some mi’raj species are larger in size than their animal counterparts.

Creating a Mi'raj

Mi’raj is an inherited template that can be applied to any animal or dire animal.

A mi’raj uses all the base creature’s statistics and abilities except as noted here.

Size and Type: Animals with this template become magical beasts. Size is unchanged.

Hit Dice: Increase to d10.

Base Attack/Grapple: Recalculate the creature’s base attack bonus equal to total Hit Dice.

Attacks: Mi’raj gain a gore attack with their horn at their full attack bonus, in addition to the base creature’s normal attack routine.

Damage: The gore attack inflicts damage according to the base creature’s size, as follow: Fine 1d2, Diminutive1d3, Tiny 1d4, Small 1d6, Medium 1d8, Large 2d6, Huge 3d6, Gargantuan 4d6.

Special Qualities: A mi’raj has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus the following special qualities.

• Darkvision out to 60 ft.
• Blink (Su): Mi’raj can blink as the spell cast by a 4th-level sorcerer and can start or end the effect as a free action.
• Dimension door (Su): A mi’raj can teleport as a dimension door cast by a 4th-level sorcerer, once per round, as a free action. The ability affects only the mi’raj, which never appears within a solid object, and can act immediately after teleporting.
• Immune to Poisons (Ex): A mi’raj is immune to all poisons.

Abilities: Int +4, Wis +2, Cha +2

Feats: Mi’raj gain Weapon Focus (horn) as a bonus feat.

Challenge Rating: +1

Adventure Hooks

Greedy hunters have flooded into the area recently, following rumors of a herd of unicorns. None of them have been successful yet, but the good denizens of the wood are worried – not for the horse-like mi’raj, who can easily escape, but for the mated pair of real unicorns that have lived in the wood for years, and are hampered by a young foal.
