Abilities & Attacks
Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental). 30 feet. DC 25 Will save. A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save. Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to this monster's Frightful Presence for 1 minute. Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence. Success The creature is Frightened 1. Failure The creature is Frightened 2. Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 4. Purity Vulnerability. Unpolluted fresh water burns a nuckelavee like acid, dealing 1d6 acid damage to it and causing it to be Sickened 2. A nuckelavee can't heal from damage when it's in an area that isn't polluted (subject to GM discretion). Reactive Strike (reaction). Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike. Blight Breath (2 actions) (disease, poison, primal). The nuckelavee breathes a 30-foot cone of foulness, dealing 8d6 void damage to living creatures in the area with a DC 28 basic Fortitude save. A creature that fails also takes 2d6 bleed damage. The nuckelavee can't use Blight Breath again for 1d4 rounds. Mortasheen (disease). The target can't recover from the fatigued condition caused by mortasheen until the disease is cured. Mortasheen gains the virulent trait against animals and plants. Saving Throw DC 28 Fortitude save. Stage 1 Carrier with no ill effect (1 day); Stage 2 Drained 1 and Fatigued (1 day). Stage 3 Drained 2 and fatigued (1 day). Stage 4 dead Trample (3 actions). Medium or smaller, hoof, DC 28 basic Reflex save. The monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of creatures of the listed size, Trampling each creature whose space it enters. The monster can attempt to Trample the same creature only once in a single use of Trample. The monster deals the damage of the listed Strike, but trampled creatures can attempt a basic Reflex save at the listed DC (no damage on a critical success, half damage on a success, double damage on a critical failure).
