3e Summary::
Atriarchs are some of the most ancient and most powerful beings of their race. Atriarchs are wise, powerful members of their race who more than likely lead the others of their race, becoming alpha males, kings, queens, or messiahs. Despite their great age they are not fragile, on the contrary, they seem to become tougher and stronger the longer they live, and the longer they fight.

An atriarch creature also gains the ability to use greater dispelling, haste, and see invisibility three times per day, even if it did not have spell-like abilities before, at 15th caster level.
