This deep red skin raises tiny horns from your forehead.

When activated, a skin of the fiend grants you the following abilities for 7 rounds (if you already have any of these abilities, use your own values if higher):

• Damage reduction 5/magic.
• Darkvision 60 feet.
• Resistance to cold 10 and fire 10.
• Smite Good (Su): Once during the skin’s duration, you can attempt a normal melee attack to deal an extra 10 points of damage against a good foe. If you accidentally smite a creature that is not good, or if your smite attack misses, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day.
• Spell resistance 15.

A skin of the fiend functions once per day. At the end of its duration, it falls dormant until the following dawn.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, lesser infernal transformation (SC 122) or planar apotheosis (CP 93).
Cost to Create: 3,000 gp, 240 XP, 6 days.
