Abilities & Attacks

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. Pall of Shadow (divine, shadow). When a shadow giant hits with a melee attack, the target must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save or become Drained 1 and take a –1 status penalty to Perception checks involving sight as long as they remain drained. On a critical failure, this condition doesn't heal naturally and can be removed only with magic. Shadow Chain (2 actions) (divine, shadow, teleportation). Shadows extend the giant's chain as they make a spiked chain Strike, increasing their reach to 60 feet for that Strike. If this hits, the target must succeed at a DC 33 Will save or be teleported to an empty space within the shadow giant's normal reach. Shadowcloak (1 action) (divine, shadow). The shadow giant gains the effect of the Blur spell for 1 minute or until it is exposed to direct sunlight, whichever comes first.
