Abilities

All-Around Vision — This monster can see in all directions simultaneously and therefore can't be flanked.

Shift Mood — The capritellix rotates the segments of their face, changing their personality and demeanor. Until they Shift their Mood again, the capritellix gains a +4 status bonus to a certain skill and to their Will DC against that skill, as well as a specific occult innate spell they can cast at will (9th rank, DC 38).

Dual Beams — The capritellix makes two eye beam Strikes against different creatures. Their multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after both Strikes.

Plentiful Metals — Each of the capritellix's levitating hands is made of a different precious metal. Each time a capritellix makes a metal hand Strike, they choose whether the hand they use is adamantine, cold iron, dawnsilver, orichalcum, silver, or any other solid precious metal.

WORKS WELL WITH

SnareAERIALA battlefield controller keeps enemies from closing the distance while the beams pick them apart from above.

CrasherAERIALA mobile striker follows up on enemies displaced by the knockback, converting the shove into burst damage.

FlankerAERIALA skirmisher exploits the openings created when two separate targets are struck simultaneously by the split beams.

PUNISHES

✖ melee reliance✖ no ranged answer✖ positioning near hazards

Avoid stacking with another aerial ranged attacker; both need separate targets and the party's limited answers to flight get overwhelmed too fast.
