Ability

Change Shape

(concentrate, occult, polymorph, transmutation) The creeping crone can take on the appearance of any Medium humanoid woman, changing her walking stick to suit her new appearance.

Ability

Stick Support

If a creeping crone is deprived of her walking stick, her Speed is reduced to 5 feet (though she can use some other Speed she gains, such as from her fly spell) until she recovers her walking stick or fashions another.

 

Ability

Walking Stick

A creeping crone can spend 1 day enchanting her walking stick with the powers of a +2 striking greater staff of necromancy. A crone replaces any material component of an occult spell she casts by using the walking stick as a focus component instead. The walking stick's magic functions only for the crone who created it; for anyone else, it's a mundane stick. If the crone enchants a new walking stick, the previous stick loses all its powers.
