Abilities
60 feet. Any creature within the area that can see the cat sith must succeed at a DC 21 will save or become struck by an ill omen. On a failure, the creature becomes immune to fortune effects as long as it remains in the aura and for 1 minute thereafter.

Effect: Ill Omen
A creature hit by a cat sith's claw must succeed at a DC 23 will save or be cursed with misfortune. Whenever the cursed creature rolls a critical success on a skill check or saving throw, it gets a success instead. Each day, a cursed creature can attempt a DC 10 flat check to break the curse.
Effect: Cat Sith's Mark
The cat sith touches a dying creature or a creature that died within the past 3 days. If the target is a dying creature, it must attempt a DC 25 fortitude save; on a failure, its dying value increases by 1 (or 2 on a critical failure). If the target is dead, it receives no save and its soul is imprisoned in the cat sith's body, becoming freed only if the cat sith is slain.

In actuality, they are cunning fey, fully capable of speech, trickery, and even walking upright on their hind legs and using their forepaws almost as skillfully as hands. Cat siths live around highland towns and cities, regularly venturing unnoticed into nearby communities by posing as domesticated felines or using magic to take humanoid form. While some cat siths gather information and undertake tasks for more powerful fey creatures, others serve only their own mysterious agendas.
Cat siths are harbingers of misfortune and find amusement in the unluckiness that follows in their wake. Though they are rarely malicious, they are fascinated by death in all its forms, and may go so far as to steal the souls of the dying for some inscrutable purpose.
