Phase Door (Sp)

A gremlin can take only other gremlins through the passage and it cannot set triggering conditions to allow others to use the passage.

Gremlin filchers are a force to be reckoned with (when it comes to securing your valuables or hiring one to secure someone else's valuables). Their small size and high Stealth bonus allows them to easily slip unnoticed into most places.

Their knack with ropes not only aids them in climbing into hard to reach spaces (which could be several given their small size), but also allows them to bind any person(s) who would stop them from their task at hand.
