Scream. (minor) Any creature within 60 ft. of the devilkin must save vs. Spell each round or they cannot take any actions including the casting of spells (save negates for that round only). While this painful screaming is occurring, conversation, even shouting, is inaudible. Similarly, spells with verbal components may be cast but cannot be heard and any effect that relies on verbal communication is likewise affected. Nothing can stop this screaming other than the slaying of the devilkin or magically-induced silence. If multiple devilkins are screaming, only one saving throw is necessary for those in the area of effect each round.
This small creature resembles mephits in physical appearance, though as far as is known it is solely a resident of the Prime Material Plane and has no allegiance to demons or to devils.
It's leathery wings have a 5 ft. span and provide its only means of movement, its legs and arms being disproportionately small and useless for movement or combat. It always attacks and never willingly breaks off a fight, striking with its tail, with it's cruel barbs.
It also has a painful howling scream which it sets up continuously in the presence of other beings.
