SQ gloom

Cynic’s Bite (Su) A lovelorn’s bite curses its victim with apathy unless the victim succeeds at a DC 15 Will save. The victim is constantly fatigued and cannot benefit from morale bonuses. In addition to the normal methods of removing curses, this curse can be removed with the spell calm emotions or by consuming an elixir of love. This is a mind-affecting emotion curse effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Gloom (Su) A lovelorn’s presence causes unnatural, thorny vines to grow. After 5 days, an area claimed by a lovelorn grows cold, dark, and stale. This acts as a constant mirage arcana (DC 18) with a caster level equal to the lovelorn’s Hit Dice. Lovelorns typically use this ability to conceal entrances to their lairs, but also to make their domains appear depressing and grim. A lovelorn can maintain only one gloom at a time, and while within an area of gloom, the lovelorn’s spell-like ability save DCs increase by 1.

Jagged Maw (Su) A lovelorn’s bite threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19–20. If a lovelorn confirms a critical hit with its bite, it also inflicts a negative level. This negative level can be removed with a successful DC 15 Fortitude save. The save DC is Charisma-based.
