Bestiary 4 | Monsters | Drake | Spire | Special Abilities | Accursed Breath
As a standard action, a spire drake can spit a compressed ball of jet-black dust that bursts into a
spray of clinging motes that sap the spiritual strength of creatures in an area. The attack has a range of 60 feet and deals 5d6 points of negative energy damage (Will DC 18 half) to all creatures in a 20-foot radius. Affected creatures take a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for 1d4 rounds (or for 1 round on a successful Will save). As long as these motes
cling to a creature, the effect of any conjuration (
healing) effect used on that creature is halved. This is a
curse effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
