Abilities

Stench

30 feet. A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 34 fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (plus Slowed 1 for as long as it's sickened on a critical failure).

While within the aura, affected creatures take a -2 circumstance penalty to saves against disease and to recover from the sickened condition.

A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Effect: Stench

Change Shape

The popobawa can take on the appearance of a human or a Small or Medium bat. It loses its stench aura while transformed. In human form it also loses its Strikes but can make fist Strikes that deal the same amount of bludgeoning damage as its talon Strike.


Feed on Sorrow

Frequency once per round


Effect The popobawa draws strength from the suffering of others. It regains 10[healing] Hit Points for each enemy within 30-foot area feet that has one of the following conditions, to a maximum of 40 Hit Points: Confused, Doomed, Dying, Enfeebled, Fatigued, Frightened, Sickened, Slowed, Stunned, Stupefied, or Wounded.

Hallucinatory Haunting

Trigger The popobawa moves an object with Telekinetic Hand or Telekinetic Haul, controls a creature with Dominate, or casts Animated Assault


Effect The popobawa casts Ghost Sound or Ventriloquism, with the sound originating from the target or area of the spell.

Shameful Loathing

A creature damaged by the popobawa's jaws is overcome with shame and self-hatred and must attempt a DC 36 will save.


Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The target becomes Stupefied 1 until the curse is removed.

Critical Failure As failure, but the target is also Doomed 1.

Grab

Cruel shapechangers, popobawas feed on negative emotions, particularly fear, despair, and anguish. Though they're dangerously strong carnivores that drink the blood of their victims, their greatest pleasure lies in mesmerizing victims to cause suffering and spread chaos. A popobawa moves about populated areas in disguise, seeking new victims and revisiting past victims to bask in their suffering, spreading gossip and incriminating innocents for its crimes while still relishing its own loathsome infamy.
