of its own, and shares all of the daevic’s senses. The daevic
and their bound daeva can also communicate telepathically
with each other at all �mes. Whenever the daevic is asleep,
their bound daeva is unconscious. The daeva has no ability to
perform ac�ons on its own, and it cannot be targe�ed or
affected by abili�es. If the daevic dies, the bound daeva is
slain as well. If the daevic is returned to life, their bound daeva
is returned to life as well, maintaining their bond. The risk of
tying their immortal soul to mortal flesh is great, but their
bond helps mi�gate these factors by slowing the rate the
daevic ages. For every level in this class, the daevic’s
maximum age increases by 10 years, as does the age required
for them to reach old and venerable age. For example, if a
human with a maximum age of 84 years forms a bond with a
daeva and becomes a 1st level daevic, their maximum age
increases to 94 years, and they would reach old age at 63
years old (rather than 53), and venerable age at 80 years old
(rather than 70). If the daevic reaches old or venerable age
before binding a daeva, they maintain the bonuses and
penal�es for those age categories.
At 11th level the daevic ceases to age en�rely and gains the
akashic subtype; they have no maximum age, never reach old
or venerable age, and are immune to magical aging. They are
immune to magical sleep, and no longer need to sleep. They
must s�ll rest at least 8 hours each day to avoid fa�gue and to
shape their veils each day, but do not need to sleep during this
�me.
The daevic and the daeva working together grants the
daevic the benefits of the Alertness feat. Addi�onally, the
daeva shares their skills with the daevic they have bonded
themselves to: the daevic chooses two skills granted by their
passion and gains a +2 bonus to each chosen skill, and treats
this ability as the Skill Focus feat having selected each of those
skills for the purposes of feat prerequisites. If the daevic has
10 or more ranks in the chosen skill, this bonus increases to +4
for that skill. The daevic cannot select Percep�on or Sense
Mo�ve as one of these two skills, even if they have those skills
as a passion skill. These bonuses granted by this ability
represent the daevic and daeva working in collabora�on, the
bound daeva never makes its own skill checks.
