Abilities & Attacks
Hit Points: 250 (void healing) Hears Heartbeats. The banshee can hear heartbeats within 60 feet of it as an imprecise sense. Sunlight Powerlessness. A banshee in sunlight is Clumsy 2 and Stunned 2. Spectral Ripple. When a banshee Strides at least 10 feet, they're Concealed until the start of their next turn. Terrifying Touch (emotion, fear, occult). A creature damaged by the banshee's touch that isn't already frightened must attempt a DC 38 Will save (DC 43 Will save if the attack was a critical hit). If the creature fails its save, it's Frightened 2; on a critical failure, the creature also cowers with fear and is Stunned 4. If the creature is protected against fear by a spell or magic item, the banshee's touch first attempts to counteract the protection effect, with the effect of a 9th-rank Dispel Magic spell. Vengeful Spite (reaction) (occult). Trigger A foe critically hits the banshee, or the banshee critically fails their save against a foe's damaging effect. Effect The banshee lashes back at their tormentor, dealing 4d10+14 mental damage with a DC 38 basic Will save and applying the effects of terrifying touch based on the results of the same Will save. Wail (2 actions) (auditory, concentrate, death, occult). The banshee unleashes a soul-chilling Wails of the Damned (DC 38 Fortitude save, 8d10 void). This Wail overcomes silence and similar effects of 5th rank or lower. The banshee can instead use Wail as a three-action activity to overcome such effects of up to 8th rank. The banshee's Wail resonates for 1 round, and any creature that comes within the area during that time must attempt a save against the effect. A creature can't be affected more than once by the same Wail. The banshee can't Wail again for 1d4 rounds.
