Abilities & Attacks
Telepathy 150 feet (aura, magical, mental). A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would. Ward (divine). Every kami is bound to a ward: a specific animal, plant, object, or location. A kami can merge with or emerge from their ward as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. While merged, the kami can observe their surroundings with their usual senses as well as the senses of their ward, but can't move, communicate with, or control their ward. Additionally, a kami merged with their ward recovers Hit Points each minute as if they spent an entire day resting. A sakugami's ward is typically a specific deciduous tree with seasonal blossoms, such as a chery, plum, or wisteria. Constant Spells. A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires. 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. Sakugami's Foresight (reaction) (divine, mental, prediction). Trigger The sakugami is subject to a hostile action or needs to roll to defend itself. Effect The sakugami rolls twice and uses the higher result for its saving throw or other defense (a fortune effect) or forces the hostile creature or danger to roll twice and use the lower result for its attack roll or similar roll (a misfortune effect). Fleeting Blossoms. A sakugami's staff Strikes stir up fleeting blossoms that bloom, wilt, and decay all in the space of an instant. On a hit, they deal an additional 1d6 mental damage, as well as an additional 1d6 void damage to living creatures and an additional 1d6 vitality damage to undead. Swift Staff Strike (2 actions). In a rapid series of movements, the sakugami unleashes a deadly assault. The sakugami makes three staff Strikes. The sakugami's multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after they've made all three Strikes. Touch of Ages (curse, divine). A sakugami's attacks bestow a curse that alters the very flow of time in those they attack. When a sakugami hits a creature with a melee Strike, the creature must attempt a DC 36 Fortitude save as its perspective shifts rapidly between that of advanced age and an infantile state. Regardless of the outcome, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute. Critical Success The creature is unaffected. Success The creature becomes Clumsy 1, Enfeebled 1, and Stupefied 1 for 1 round. Failure The creature becomes Clumsy 2, Enfeebled 2, and Stupefied 2 for 1 minute. Critical Failure As failure, but the conditions are permanent.
