He has a strong sense of Empathy in that he knows what every mortal's heart desires.He has a special knapsack capable of instantly fabricating a toy on the spot.His elves and gnomes of the north pole create special toys of remarkable design for kids who have been very good to their parents during the year.Time goes slow for Santa,every hour is equal to a minute to this boisterous man,which explains why he has enough time to span the world and deliver what he has promised to the boys and girls of the world.And if he finds himself on a time curfew,he can travel back 5 hours in time,and be in two different places at once (and his other 'selves' can do this as well,which is also how he can span the world giving gifts). Santa is a spirit of God who cannot be affected by any sort of weapon,although he will gain on his form the illusion of a wound and will even feel the pain for a time (this is actually pain in his heart and inner self that someone would do such a horrendous act).His body sheds natural white light enough to illumniate a entire room sufficiently.This warm light instantly makes all in its presence happy and forgetful of troubles.If Santa Should lecture and berate someone,that person must make a saving throw vs.Spells at -2 or forever change his alignment to Good (if he's Chaotic-Chaotic Good,Nuetral-Nuetral Good,etc). Santa usually has a scroll parchment with a seemingly limitless list of childrens names,he is actually able to call up any name of any personage he meets and find out the list of good & bad deeds they have commited over the year,their general alignment,and a small outlook at their future.The scroll doubles as a 'scroll of mapping',which shows him all the homes of children everywhere. He is able to move silently,turn invisible at will,which he uses these abilities as to not wake families who are busy dreaming in their sleep.There is a 10% chance that a kid who waits for Santa by the fireplace actually sees him,but then Santa's gaze can cause the child to fall asleep if he so wills it,Santa usually imparts the child with some small advice such as 'be good and love your parents' which can have a profound effect in the kids life (it acts as a suggestion spell as well). Santa Clause can speak any language.When climbing down Chimneys he assumes Gaseous Form which will have the illusion of sprinkled snow instead of shroudy mist. Well,X-mas is comming,so you all better be good now,y'hear? Jason
