There are exactly 100 decatons,
the lowest order of officials found in
Nirvana. These creatures
appear as 10-tentacled spheres on stumpy
legs and are overseers of
the physical welfare of the base modrons. One
decaton is assigned to each
sector of Nirvana, while the remaining 36
serve with the hextons commanding
the armed forces of the plane.
Decatons have spell ability
equal to that of a 10th-level cleric but lack the
power to turn undead. They
also have the following spell-like powers
which apply only to other
modrons: cure 1 hp of damage for all modrons
within 144 feet, cure disease
in a 12-foot radius, heal on touch up to 10
modrons per round, and remove
paralysis by touch for up to 10 modrons
per round. These spell-like
powers are usable 1 at a time, at will, once
per round.
The spherical decatons fly
by generating a light gas within their bodies.
They only rise into the air
to get an overview of the situation when
commanding large numbers
of base modrons.
