Special Abilities
As a standard action once per minute, a basidirond can release a cloud of invisible spores in a 20-foot radius. All creatures within the area must succeed on a DC 16 Fortitude save or be affected by powerful hallucinations as long as they remain in the cloud plus 1d4 rounds after leaving the area. A new save must be made each round a creature remains within the affected area. A hallucination cloud persists for 5 rounds before dispersing—a strong wind causes it to disperse immediately. The save DC is Constitution-based. To determine what hallucination is suffered each round, roll 1d6 and consult the following table.| d6<.th> | Hallucination |
|---|---|
| 1 | You\'re sinking in quicksand! Fall prone and spend 1 round flailing your arms and legs as if trying to swim. | 2 | Attacked by a swarm of spiders! Spend a full round action to attack the floor near you with your weapon.
| 3 | An item you hold has turned into a viper! Drop it and flee from the item at top speed for 1 round. | 4 | You\'re suffocating! Stand in place, hold your breath, and clutch at your throat for 1 round. |
| 5 | You\'ve shrunk to 1/10th your normal size! Take no actions for 1 round and monsters won\'t see you. | 6 | You\'re melting! Grasp hold of yourself in an attempt to hold yourself together, and take no actions for 1 round. |
Cold Lethargy
Although a basidirond is immune to cold damage, any cold effect it is exposed to slows it for 1d4 rounds. During this time, the basidirond cannot use its hallucination cloud or spores.
