Info

The whitelady sends forth ice-white beams from her eyes (a ray attack with a range of 120 feet); if these successfully hit, the target must make a Charisma-based Fortitude saving throw (DC 24) or be blinded until he leaves the snowy environment and for 1d4 hours thereafter. Spell-Like Abilities: At will, as 10 th level sorcerer – dancing lights, scrying, silent image; 3/day – cone of cold, fire shield (chill blue flames only), sleet storm. Spells: A whitelady casts arcane spells as a 10 th level sorcerer. Terrible Laugh (Sp): Three times per day, a whitelady can trill forth a laugh so cold and malicious that those who hear it are struck with terror. All targets within a 60-foot spread must make Charisma-based Will saving throws (DC 24) or be panicked for 3d6 rounds. This is a mind-affecting sonic fear effect. Unnatural Aura (Su): Animals, whether wild or domesticated, can sense the unnatural presence of a whitelady at a distance of 30 feet. They will not willingly approach nearer than that and will panic if forced to do so; they remain panicked as long as they are within that range. Whitelady Queen Any whitelady can become a queen after ingesting the liquid remains of her sisters, though broods only have one at a time. This flightless abomination is a whitelady from the waist up but has a long, jointed, many-legged body beneath, like a human-millipede cross. Its attributes are different from the regular whitelady. A whitelady queen rarely leaves her cavern lair, trusting to the Grun and the other whiteladies to defend her. The whitelady queen deposits eggs which the Grun then renders fertile by a process best not described. Whitelady Queen: CR 14; Large outsider (cold, evil); HD 16d8 (72 hp); Init +9; Spd 30 ft., climb 30 ft., swim 30 ft.; AC 24, touch 14, flat-footed 19; Base Atk +16; Grp +20; Atk +20 melee (1d6 plus 1d6 cold plus energy drain, slam); Full Atk +20 melee (1d6 plus 1d6 cold plus energy drain, 2 slams) and +15 melee (1d6 plus 1d6 cold plus venom, sting); Space/Reach 10 ft./5 ft; SA energy drain, snow blindness, spell-like abilities, spells, terrible laugh; SQ damage reduction 15/cold iron and good, darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, ice penetration, outsider traits, unnatural aura; SV Fort +10, Ref +15, Will +12; Str 10, Dex 20, Con 11, Int 11, Wis 15, Cha 22.

The Fortitude saving throw (DC 22) to avoid its effects is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.

168 These misanthropic, pensive immortals seek the isolation of snowy peaks and desolate glaciers where the wind rarely dies down. They spend their days turning the ice and snow into weird sculptures that sound notes as the winds blow through them, turning the environment into a huge musical instrument. The unearthly notes from windshapers’ sculptures can be heard up to 15 miles away. Their magical effects are only effective within much closer ranges (see below). They vaguely resemble dancing figures bearing odd horn-like objects. Windshapers dress in cowled brown robes, like monks. They have down turned mouths, no noses and watery blue eyes. Craft Ice Sculpture (Su): Windshapers have the unique ability to turn snow and ice into temporary magic items which produce sonic effects similar to the music of a bard. They can only be constructed in regions of continual wind. Without wind to power them, the sculptures are silent and useless. Permanent sculptures are typically of Large size (10 feet square) and have 360 hit points. A sculpture reduced to half its hit points ceases to function as such. Creatures can hit the sculptures automatically. To create a permanent ice sculpture, a windshaper makes a Craft (ice) skill check and multiplies the result by 10: the result is the number of hit points he has successfully added to the structure in an hour of work. When the sculpture reaches 360 hit points it is complete, and it automatically becomes magically efficacious. A windshaper may also use his ice shaping ability (see below) to craft a temporary sculpture. This is of Medium size (five feet square) and has only 80 hit points. When the windshaper creates the sculpture, he makes a Craft (ice) skill check. The result is the number of rounds for which the sculpture will last before it becomes inert. Ice sculptures’ effects operate at the caster level of the windshaper who made them and use the windshaper’s Charisma modifier to determine their saving throw DCs. A windshaper cannot maintain more sculptures than he has points of Intelligence bonus. A sculpture’s effects affect targets in a 120-foot spread. The windshaper may activate or deactivate a sculpture’s magical effects (though it continues to produce sound) as a free action, provided he is within 120 feet of his sculpture. Once created, a sculpture is dedicated to a given effect. It cannot be used to produce another. A creature can be under the influence of multiple sculptures simultaneously. The windshapers defend their homes by creating multiple sculptures whose areas of effect overlap, thus crippling creatures before they can come too close. The sculptures that can be made are as follows. All of them produce sonic mind-affecting effects. Characters who successfully save against a sculpture’s effects are immune to that sculpture’s effect for a further 24 hours. The save DCs are Charisma-based. • Sculpture of Boldness: Those whom the windshaper considers allies receive a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. The effect continues for as long as the recipient remains within range and for five rounds thereafter. • Sculpture of Encouragement: Those whom the windshaper considers allies gain a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill (chosen when the sculpture is created) for as long as they remain within the area of effect. • Sculpture of Enrapturing: This sculpture emits haunting melodies that captivate the listener. Creatures who enter the area of effect must make Will saving throws (DC 20). Those who fail sit quietly and listen to the sounds, taking no other actions, for 12 rounds. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any potential threat allows the creature a new saving throw against the sculpture’s effects. An obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, breaks the effect immediately. • Sculpture of Mourning: The notes of groaning sorrow that emanate from this sculpture have a deeply depressing effect upon the listener. Creatures in the area of effect must make Will saving throws (DC 20) or be stricken with depression for as long as they remain in the area and for five rounds after. Each affected creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks and weapon damage rolls. • Sculpture of Pain: This sculpture’s deep vibrato notes cause the listener’s bones to vibrate and his muscles to ache intensely. Creatures in the area of effect must make Will saving throws (DC 20) or Ibon Presno Gonzalez (order #73006) 8
