Level 5Attacks
Abilities
DC 25 reflex
A hieracosphinx has an innate magical defense similar to a Contingency.
When they take a specific type of electricity damage, they can use their reaction to have the glyph cast Haste on them. The glyph is then dormant for 1 week.
A critical success to Recall Knowledge about a particular hieracosphinx (30 or higher on the check) reveals which damage type triggers the glyph.
The hieracosphinx Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If they began this action Hidden, they remain hidden until after the attack.
The hieracosphinx emits a shrill, ear-piercing shriek. Each non-sphinx in a 60-foot area must attempt a DC 22 fortitude save. Any creature that attempts a save is temporarily immune for 24 hours.
Critical Success The creature is temporarily immune to that hieracosphinx's shriek for 24 hours.
Success The creature is Deafened for 1 round.
Failure The creature is deafened for 1 minute and Stunned 1.
Sphinxes are a family of mystical beings that combine leonine, avian, and usually humanoid features. Though the most common sphinxes are famous on their own merits, the family includes other types of sphinxes as well.
Lacking the intelligence of their kin, falcon-headed hieracosphinxes are cowardly, cruel-hearted creatures. They guard their territory ruthlessly against weaker intruders.
