Abilities

Fiddle (auditory, emotion, mental, primal) — A grig can rub its legs together to create a catchy fiddling tune that compels others within 30-foot emanation{30 feet} to dance about, with varying effects depending on a DC 18 Will save.

Success No effect

Failure Off-Guard and –10-foot status penalty to Speeds

FlankerLAND / AERIALEnemies compelled to dance lose actions and positioning, making them easy flanking targets for a mobile striker.
SniperLAND / AERIALAerial mobility and Will-targeting control keep enemies pinned at range while a ranged damage-dealer picks them off safely.
