Fatigue (Ex): Those struck by a noble dao’s Whip (or any bludgeoning manufactured weapon they wield) must make a Fortitude save (DC 19) or become fatigued. Those already fatigued become exhausted if they fail this save. Those exhausted suffer 3d10 points of nonlethal damage if they fail the save.

Shove (Ex): A creature struck by a noble dao’s slam attack is subject to a bull rush attempt (+12 bonus), although the dao does not move with the victim. Earth mastery bonuses or penalties apply.

Spell-Like Abilities:

• At will – detect magic, gaseous form, invisibility, move earth, misdirection, passwall, persistent image (DC 18), plane shift*, transmute rock to mud, wall of stone;
• 3/day –blast of sand (DC 17), wish (to nongenies only);
• 1/day – desert binding (DC 21), earthquake.

Caster level 11th.

*Genies can plane shift to the Inner, Astral and Material Planes.

Change Shape (Su): A noble dao can assume the form of any humanoid, monstrous humanoid or giant its size or smaller.

Earth Mastery (Ex): A dao gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe touch the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the dao suffers a -4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. (These are not included in the dao’s stat block)

Possessions: Noble dao typically carry a massive +1 lash that functions similarly to a Whip, although it works against all creatures, not just those that lack armor. It can deal lethal or nonlethal damage. A noble dao can apply his Strength modifier rather than his Dexterity to attack rolls made with the weapon. Dao wear +1 silk swathes of light fortification.
