Abilities & Attacks
Saving Throws: +1 status to all saves vs. magic Gemsight. As long as the stygira holds a gemstone, they can see through the gem with Darkvision and the effects of Truesight. A stygira is blind when they aren't holding a gem in a hand. +1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic Light Sickness. A stygira in an area of bright light is Sickened 1. Gem Gaze (1 action) (emotion, fear, mental, primal). The stygira holds aloft a gem and gazes into the mind of a creature within 30 feet, infusing the creature's thoughts with visions of its own dead body slowly petrifying. The creature must succeed at a DC 25 Will save or become Frightened 1 (Frightened 2 on a critical failure). Stone Curse (curse, primal). Wounds dealt by the stygira's claws leave the flesh bleached of color and turn the blood that runs from them dark gray. Each time a creature is damaged by the stygira's claw Strike, it must succeed at a DC 25 Fortitude save or become permanently Slowed 1 (Slowed 2 on a critical failure) as its flesh stiffens like stone. If a creature is reduced to 0 Hit Points from the stygira's claw Strike and fails the saving throw against stone curse, it's petrified. A creature that spends 8 hours in direct sunlight can attempt a new saving throw to remove the effects of stone curse, even if it has been petrified.
