Rune Fire (Su) At will, a crepitus can cause the runes covering its body to radiate intense heat. Creatures within 5 feet of the crepitus take 1d6 points of fire damage (DC 13 Reflex save for half). Creatures struck by the crepitus’s claws or that hit the crepitus with melee weapons take automatic fire damage, with no save allowed. Creatures that attack and are not adjacent are immune to this effect.

Spell Turning (Su) Spells that specifically target a crepitus devil that fail to get past its spell resistance are turned back on the caster. This effect is identical to a spell turning spell, except that a crepitus can only affect a number of spell levels each round equal to its Hit Dice. This ability functions as if the crepitus were a 9th-level caster.
