t'Chakian are powerful creatures from the negative material plane, desiring only to wreck havoc and destruction upon prime material creatures. They stand about six feet tall, and are garbed in black cloaks and hoods. Their skin is also black, with dull points of light underneath the skin. They have no visible facial features.

Combat:     The t'Chakian prefer to attack with their darkswords, which are made of negative material plane energy. These swords inflict 1d10+4 hit points of damage per hit. However, what makes them truly fearful is their power to cause wounds which never fully heal. Each hit by a t'Chakian wielding a darksword causes a loss of one hit point, permanently. If for instance, Byre was struck three times by a t'Chakian blade, for a total of 23 hit points of damage, 3 of these hit points lost would be lost permanently, bringing his total hit points down from 54 to 51.
     These permanently lost hit points can be regained only by means of a heal spell, cast specifically for this purpose by at least a 17th level cleric, or by means of a wish.
     t'Chakian can perform the following spell like abilities at will: know alignment, detect lie, detect invisibility, knock, magic missile (3 missiles), acid arrow, enervation, and invisibility. They can also teleport, three times per day. When feeling threatened, a t'Chakian can haste itself once a day for one turn.
     t'Chakian can be harmed only by weapons of a +2 or better enchantment. They are immune to sleep, charm, hold, death and cold based spells, as well as poison or paralyzation.
     t'Chakian are not undead, and cannot be turned.
