Scare (Ex): When deeplings feel threatened or sense predators, they laugh in a reverberating, deep-throated tone. This produces an unsettling effect that works like a scare spell cast by a 3rd-level sorcerer (Will save DC 15). If the save is successful, that opponent cannot be affected again by that deepling's scare ability for one day.

Passwall (Sp): Deepling laughter drives most predators away, but if it doesn't, deeplings attempt to escape conflict with their spell-like ability.

8/day - passwall. This ability works as the spell cast by a 10th-level sorcerer.

Light Blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds deeplings for 1 round. In addition, they suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls, saves, and skill checks while operating in bright light.

Skills: Deeplings have a +10 racial bonus to Tumble and Climb checks.

Deeplings engage in combat only when forced.
