Abilities & Attacks
Saving Throws: +1 status to all saves vs. magic +1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic Change Shape (1 action) (concentrate, occult, polymorph). The lamia matriarch can take on the appearance of a Medium humanoid. This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage modifiers with their Strikes, but it does prevent them from using their cursed touch. Each lamia matriarch has a fixed humanoid form that resembles their upper torso when in their true form. This is the only humanoid form they can adopt using this ability. The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's transformation automatically defeats Perception DCs to determine whether the creature is a member of the ancestry or creature type into which it transformed, and it gains a +4 status bonus to its Deception DC to prevent others from seeing through its disguise. Change Shape abilities specify what shapes the monster can adopt. The monster doesn't gain any special abilities of the new shape, only its physical form. For example, in each shape, it replaces its normal Speeds and Strikes, and might potentially change its senses or size. Any changes are listed in its stat block. Matriarch's Caress (2 actions) (curse, mental, occult). The lamia matriarch touches a creature, who must succeed at a DC 28 Will save or become Stupefied 2 (Stupefied 4 on a critical failure). If the target fails additional saves against this ability, the condition value increases by 1 (increases by 2 on a critical failure, to a maximum of Stupefied 4). This condition value decreases by 1 every 24 hours. Scimitar Storm (3 actions). The lamia matriarch makes a scimitar attack against each enemy within reach. Each attack counts toward their multiple attack penalty, but the penalty does not increase until after all the attacks. The first enemy they damage is subject to Matriarch's Caress.
