Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (OSR)

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Once every 1d4 rounds, a vavakia can breathe out a 60-foot cone of green fire that seems to writhe and coil with the tortured shapes of a thousand screaming ghosts. This green fire is akin to vomiting up the countless souls the vavakia has consumed, and these souls consume flesh as surely as they consume sanity. A creature struck by this breath weapon takes necrotic damage (Breath save halves)-this damage manifests as blackened, melted flesh and skin but is treated as raw profane power. Evil creatures take half damage from the breath weapon, but good creatures who take any damage from a vavakia's breath weapon are automatically staggered for 1 round by the hideous sensation. In addition, any living creature that takes damage from a vavakia's breath weapon must also make a Death save to avoid suffering 1d8 points of Wisdom damage as her sanity slips away into madness. Immediately after the vavakia expels this green "soul fire", the wailing flames flow in reverse back into the demon's gullet through its open maw. This heals the vavakia effect. Ability damage from this effect can only be healed via restoration or more powerful healing magic.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Frightful Presence Your very presence unsettling to foes. Activating this ability is a free action that is usually part of an attack or charge. Opponents within range who witness the action may become frightened or shaken. The range is 40 feet. This ability affects only opponents with fewer Hit Dice or levels than the creature has. An affected opponent can resist the effects with a successful Death save. On a failed save, the opponent is shaken, or panicked if 4 HD or fewer. An opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to your frightful presence for 24 hours. Frightful presence is a mind-affecting fear effect.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Smoking Wound Rather than blood, wisps of green smoke constantly weep from a vavakia's bite wound-a grim manifestation of the demon's effect on a mortal soul. Each time a vavakia bites a creature, that creature suffers an additional 2d8 points of necrotic damage-the wounds continue to smoke as long as the victim suffers from this reduction. The smoking wounds cause the victim to become sickened because of the hideous sensation and rank smell of the vapors.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

An effect that removes this sickened condition only temporarily causes the wounds to stop smoking-they begin smoking again in 1d6 rounds and persist as long as the victim suffers from the smoking wounds. Nonliving creatures bitten by a vavakia are immune to its energy-draining bite and do not exhibit smoking wounds.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Stun A creature struck by a vavakia's tail slap must make a Paralysis save or be stunned for 1 round. On a critical hit, the stun effect lasts for 1d4 rounds on a failed save, and 1 round on a successful save.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Telepathy You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 100 feet that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

Trample You can attempt to overrun any creature that is smaller than yourself. Targets of a trample take bludgeoning damage equal to two times a typical melee attack from this creature. Victims may attempt to avoid the trampling creature and receive a Breath save to take half damage. You can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature.

 

Special

|Breath|Weapon

True Seeing You see all things as they actually are, as per the spell True Seeing, as a constant ability.
