Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill will force all lesser undead and lesser demons, or one specific greater undead or greater demon to stay 10 feet away from the character for as long as they hold up their focus. The undead or demons may not attack, cast spells directed towards the character, or even look at the character. This skill does not require concentration and will remain in effect so long as the character continues to hold up their focus and in the case of a single target, towards the target character. The character may take offensive actions and cast spells while maintaining a repel, but should they take damage, the effect will end. Note that a character may only maintain one Repel Vile Spawn at a time and cannot use any of their other turn vile spawn skills while maintaining a Repel Vile Spawn skill.

This skill can only be countered by a Servant of Darkness control skill, Empower skill or sorcery; necromancy or abilities will not counter this skill.

This skill requires the use of the character’s focus and a verbal, which must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill.
