Abilities & Attacks

- **Anchored Soul** The cub is mystically bonded to its bonded vessel and must remain within 1 mile of it. Some might be further restricted to the location it guards. - **Bonded Vessel** The condition of a stone lions's vessel dictates the cub's maximum Hit Point value. Undamaged, the vessel is an object with 50 Hit Points (BT 25). When the lions is in spirit form, damaging it doesn't hurt the vessel, but damaging the vessel deals an equal amount of damage to the cub. When the lions Inhabits its Vessel, they're a single target, and damage reduces the Hit Points of both the lions and the vessel. If the vessel is broken, the lions can still fight normally while inhabiting it and suffers no ill effect, but if the vessel is ever destroyed, the lions is instantly slain and can't reconstitute. - **Reconstitution** (divine, necromancy) When the cub reaches 0 Hit Points, its spirit dissipates. If its bonded vessel is intact, the cub re-forms in this vessel after 2d4 days, fully healed. If the vessel is broken, it must first be Repaired, after which the cub reforms in 3d4 days. - **Ferocious Roar** (auditory, emotion, fear, mental, sonic) The lion makes a terrifying roar that deals 2d8 sonic damage (23 basic Fortitude save) to each creature in a 20-foot cone. Creatures that fail this save become frightened 1. - **Inhabit Vessel** (manipulate) The lion touches and melds with its bonded vessel, bringing the statue to life.
