Goldencrest Large Ooze Hit Dice: 8d10+24 (68 hp) Initiative: +5 Speed: 60 ft. (12 squares), swim 70 ft. (14 squares) Armor Class: 14 (-1 size, +5 Dex), touch 14, flat-footed 9 Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+11 Attack: Slam +6 melee (2d4+1 plus 2d6 positive energy) Full Attack: Slam +6 melee (2d4+1 plus 2d6 positive energy) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft. Beautiful and deadly, goldencrests are sometimes said to be born of the tears of celestials, the blood of the sun, and lakes struck by lightning. Goldencrests are most commonly seen on the sea surface, often mistaken for the reflection of the sun. A goldencrest is a fluid wave that shines a fiery, golden orange. In the sections where it is thinnest (such as where it tapers off), the liquid composing it is transparent, but most of its body is too bright to see through. Goldencrests skim quickly across water, and move only slightly slower on land. As they travel, a golden mist rises from their backs, accompanied by a loud hiss. Goldencrests stay on water whenever possible, and most spend their lives at sea, following winds and currents without need for food or rest. On land, goldencrests follow the path of least resistance, moving wherever they can easily flow. They generally ignore other creatures, but attack sources of negative energy (such as undead) and “play” with any creatures with whom they come into physical contact. The positive energy coursng through a goldencrest is enough to burn living beings. When a goldencrest suffers enough damage to make it lose cohesion, its energy leaks away, and its body turns into water. Powerful spellcasters sometimes capture goldencrests, and use them as sentries to patrol moats, hallways, and other enclosed spaces from which a goldencrest cannot escape. Others keep goldencrests trapped in magically warded globes or pools, finding them valuable for magical experimentation. Combat Goldencrests race back and forth in combat, splashing over their opponents and moving away before turning and charging forward again. The positive energy infusing a goldencrest is raw and unfocused, too much for living beings to endure. Creatures who take damage from a goldencrest’s positive energy suffer a feeling of internal burning. 125 Special Attacks: Positive energy, trample 2d4+1 plus 2d6 positive energy Special Qualities: Blindsight 100 ft., glare, ooze traits, regeneration 8, vulnerable to turning Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will -3 Abilities: Str 12, Dex 20, Con 17, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1 Skills: Swim +9 Feats: — Environment: Any Organization: Solitary Challenge Rating: 7 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: 9-16 HD (Large); 17-24 HD (Huge) Level Adjustment: — Positive Energy (Ex): The touch of a goldencrest infuses living beings with positive energy. With every melee hit, a creature gains 2d6 hit points. Any extra hit points over a creature’s normal hit point total are instead temporary hit points that fade in 1d20 rounds. This energy is highly unstable, however; any creature that begins a round with temporary hit points must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or its body will explode in a riot of energy, killing it instantly. The save DC is Constitution-based. Undead creatures instead take 4d6 points of damage from a goldencrest’s positive energy. Trample (Ex): Reflex DC 15 half. The save DC is Strength-based. Blindsight (Ex): A goldencrest’s entire body is a primitive sensory organ that can ascertain creatures by vibration within 100 feet. Glare (Ex): The glare from a goldencrest’s body makes it difficult to look at directly. A creature looking at a goldencrest must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or be blinded for 10 rounds by the brilliance it sheds. The save DC is Constitution-based. Regeneration (Ex): Spells, magic, and energy attacks deal normal damage to a goldencrest. A goldencrest that loses part of its body mass regrows it in 1d6 minutes. Vulnerable To Turning (Ex): By making a turning attempt, characters who channel positive energy can rebuke, command, or bolster goldencrests as evil clerics rebuke, command, or bolster undead. Characters who channel negative energy can turn or destroy goldencrests as good clerics turn or destroy undead. Skills: A goldencrest has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. 7
7 Groaning Spirit Medium Undead (Incorporeal) Hit Dice: 7d12 (45 hp) Initiative: +7 Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares) Armor Class: 17 (+3 Dex, +4 deflection), touch 17, flat-footed 14 Base Attack/Grapple: +3/— Attack: Incorporeal touch +6 melee (1d8 plus chill touch) Full Attack: Incorporeal touch +6 melee (1d8 plus chill touch) Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: Chill touch, fear aura, keening Special Qualities: +4 turn resistance, darkvision 60 ft., immunity to cold and electricity, incorporeal traits, sense living, The groaning spirit is the malevolent spirit of a female elf that is found haunting swamps, fens, moors, and other desolate places. Groaning spirits hate the living and seek to destroy whomever they meet. A groaning spirit appears as a translucent image of her former self. Her eyes burn with a crimson flame. Combat A groaning spirit’s primary attack is her keening. If a creature survives the keening attack, the groaning spirit attacks with her incorporeal touch. Chill Touch (Su): Damage caused by a groaning spirit’s touch attack is considered negative energy and afflicts the target with a chilling cold. Any creature touched must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or suffer 1 point of Strength drain. Groaning spirits are the bane of other undead, and any undead they touch (except other groaning spirits) must succeed on a DC 17 Will save or flee in fear as if panicked for 2d6 rounds. The save DCs are Charisma-based. Fear Aura (Su): Anyone viewing a groaning spirit must succeed on a DC 17 Will save or flee in terror for 1d6+4 rounds. Whether or not the save is 126 spell resistance 20, undead traits, unnatural aura, vulnerability to dispelling Saves: Fort +2, Ref +5, Will +8 Abilities: Str —, Dex 17, Con —, Int 16, Wis 16, Cha 18 Skills: Bluff +14, Diplomacy +8, Disguise +4 (+6 acting), Hide +13, Intimidate +16, Listen +15, Search +13, Sense Motive +13, Spot +15, Survival +3 (+5 following tracks) Feats: Ability Focus (keening), Alertness B , Blind-Fight, Improved Initiative Environment: Any land and underground Organization: Solitary Challenge Rating: 7 Treasure: Standard Alignment: Always chaotic evil Advancement: 8-14 HD (Medium) Level Adjustment: — successful, a creature is immune to the fear aura of that groaning spirit for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based. Keening (Su): Once per day, at night only, a groaning spirit can release a death wail audible to a range of 1 mile. All creatures within 30 feet that hear this must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or be affected as per the wail of the banshee spell. Those that succeed at their save still take 3d6+7 points of damage. This is a sonic, death effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. Sense Living (Su): A groaning spirit can sense all living creatures up to 5 miles away. Unnatural Aura (Su): Both wild and domesticated animals can sense the unnatural presence of a groaning spirit at a distance of 30 feet. They will not willingly approach nearer than that and panic if forced to do so; they remain panicked as long as they are within that range. Vulnerability To Dispelling (Ex): If a spellcaster uses dispel evil (the second effect requiring a touch attack) against a groaning spirit, the creature must succeed on a Will save (DC 15 + caster’s relevant ability score modifier) or suffer 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d6).
