Floating here, in a blinding corona of light is what appears to be a beautiful clothless woman completely snow white in color. Her hair flows as if not affected by gravity and her arms are stretched out as if ready to strike. Her hands are tipped with vicious claws and her mouth is full of white ivory fangs.

Positrixes are a tragic story of a soul somehow subverted to the positive energy plane in death. The souls of the dead wander the plane for ages trying to find a way out, some make it, most don't. Those who don't become positrixes, mad lost souls that roam the Positive Energy Plane looking for a soul to follow into a more appropriate afterlife. They are almost all completely mad, doing all they can to leave the positive energy plane on the backs of other souls no matter the cost.

Positrixes are immune to all the negative effects of the Positive Energy plane.

Despite their female appearance, positrixes are genderless. Positrixes weigh 110 pounds and stand about 5 and a half feet tall. They almost never speak, but they understand common, draconic, celestial and infernal.

COMBAT
Positrixes will always attack with natural weapons unless something else is completely necesarry. If finding themselves in too much danger they fly as far away as possible to regain lost hitpoints and come back to continue their assault on their weakened foe.
Some positrixes will attempt to heal up their enemies as to expose them to the negative effects of their native plane.The positrixes who use this tactic are often the most fearsome of their kind.

Aura of Life-stealing (Su): The positrix is a creature that is both a victem of and parasite to the Positive energy plane, constantly sucking in its energy for itself. Any living creature within 30 feet of a positrix does not gain the fast healing benefit of the Positive Energy plane. This aura does not counteract the excess hitpoints a character may recieve as temporary hitpoints due to healing magic, and they still suffer all the penalties for too many excess hitpoints. Conversely, any undead creature within 30 feet of a positrix takes all the penalties of the plane twofold.
Anyone within the same radius recieve all the damage the positrix takes during a round. For example, Regdar, Tordek and Lidda are all within 30 feet of a positrix. Regdar swings his sword and strikes it, dealing 15 points of damage. Regdar, Tordek, Lidda and the positrix all take this slashing damage.
This aura is represented as a brilliant white corona of light surrounding it, illuminating a 30 foot area around it with bright light, and dim illumination for another 30 feet.

Flight (Su): Positrixes may stop or resume flight as a free action.

Madness (Ex): Positrixes use their Charisma modifier on Will saves instead of their Wisdom modifier, and have immunity to confusion and insanity effects. A positrix cannot be restored to sanity by any means short of a miracle or wish spell.

Positive subtype: The fast healing granted by major positive-dominant planes does not grant positrixes temporary hp. Spells and effects employing negative energy deal 50% more damage to a positrix on a failed save.

Soul Snare (Su): The madness that drives a positrix to carry on have caused these creatures to evolve a way to accomplish their goal. Whenever a positrix hits with any natural weapon, the victem must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 20) or take 1d6 Charisma damage. When a creature's Charisma reaches 0, the creatures soul becomes proporty of the positrix, killing the subject and the positrix will attempt to follow the soul to its destined plane. Creatures killed using this ability may still be raised as normal.

Spectral Shield (Su): Due to the positrix's supernatural nature, they radiate powerful magic. They may add their Charisma modifier as a deflection modifier to their Armor Class.

Spell-like Abilities: at will - cure light wounds, light, command; 3/day - Cure Serious wounds, Suggestion; 1/day - Heal. DC's are Charisma based.
