Special Abilities

Brewer (Ex) A biersal treats Profession (brewer) as a class skill.

Dodge Drunks (Ex) All the attacks of opportunity made by drunk creatures against a biersal have 50% miss chance. The biersal can attempt a dirty trick, disarm, reposition, or trip combat maneuver with a +4 bonus as a free action against a creature that missed an attack of opportunity aginst it.

Throw Mug (Ex) A biersal is expert at throwing mugs and cups efficiently, treating them as thrown weapons with 20 ft. range increment. If the thrown container is filled with a liquid, the creature hit is dazzled for 1d4 rounds.


Biersals are little, capricious fey that infest breweries, alehouses, inns, and other places that produce and keep ales and beers. Usually, they can be placated by offerings of drink and food, making them somewhat productive, cleaning the vessels, mugs, and bottles at night, and occasionally overseeing brewing, though they are unreliable at best, as they are easily bored and eager to sample the wares when no one is looking.

You can double or negate potency of a single alcoholic drink, making it count as one, two , or zero doses of alcohol. When cast on a non-alcoholic drink, it makes it smell and taste like an alcoholic drink of your choice. You might make such non-alcoholic to affect you (and only you) as a single dose of alcohol.
