Bestiary 2 | Monsters | Siren | Special Abilities | Siren Song
When a
siren sings, all non-sirens within a 300-foot spread must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or become enthralled (see below). The effect depends on the type of song the
siren chooses, and continues for as long as the
siren sings and for 1 round thereafter. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by any of that
siren's songs for 1 hour. These are sonic, mind-affecting effects. The save DC is Charisma-based. Enthralled creatures behave in one of the following four ways, which the
siren chooses when she begins singing.
- Captivation: This functions exactly like a harpy's captivating song.
- Fascination: Affected creatures are fascinated.
- Obsession: An obsessed victim becomes defensive of the siren and does all he can to prevent harm from coming to her, going so far as attacking his allies in her defense. The victim is not controlled by the siren, but views her as a cherished ally. This is a charm effect.
- Slumber: The victim immediately falls asleep, rendering the creature helpless. While the siren is singing, no noise will wake the sleeping creature, though slapping or wounding him does. The creature continues sleeping for 1d4 minutes after the siren stops singing, but can be awakened by loud noises or any other normal method.
