Hard To Move (Ex) The Majordomo can't be knocked prone. Any forced movement applied to its body is reduced by 5 feet to a minimum of 0 feet.

Hurl Minion (Ex) The Majordomo can grab an adjacent Small or smaller corporeal ally and throw it like an improvised weapon with range increment of 20 feet. The Majordomo can aim at a creature or object, dealing 1d6+5 points of bludgeoning damage (1d4+5 for Tiny minions) to both the target and the impromptu projectile or throw the minion to an empty square, treating the hurled creature as a splash weapon to determine the scattering on miss. After a successful attack is resolved, the minion lands on a square adjacent to the target. A minion unwilling to be thrown can make a Reflex saving throw (DC 12) to escape The Majordomo clutches.


The chant is that the Majordomo was a servilis, until it consumed souls of so many weak and inept masters, it ascended beyond its petty status. A bit. No longer a mere servant, the Majordomo definitely is no master. Yet. For now, the Majordomo hires its services as a manager for lesser entities and bids its time to ascend even further.

The Majordomo is a haughty creature, and yet, it retains some of its old toadying customs, albeit dramatically overdoing in displays of contemptuous sarcasm.
