WeaverCrasherLANDfiendunholynindorumental
Ijdas are creatures of forgetfulness. Born from souls who were once enlightened but then renounced it and their role in the cycle of reincarnation, they curse the futility of their existence and find pleasure in leading others to the same fate. Ijdas appear as towering humanoids, their bodies bloated and constantly bursting with small red butterflies that flitter away before melting into mist. Their arms are overly long and so broken as to writhe more like tentacles, affording them an unsettlin

Abilities
Aura of Forgetfulness (aura, mental, occult) — 30 feet. A creature that begins its turn in the aura finds it difficult to recall memories or to focus on what it's currently attempting to accomplish, and must attempt a DC 21 Will save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to aura of forgetfulness for 24 hours.
Success The creature is unaffected.
Failure The creature is Slowed 1 until the end of its next turn, as it has trouble remembering what it intended to do and spends extra time on its turn trying to recall what it had planned to do.
Critical Failure As failure, but Slowed 2.

Soul Shred — Creatures killed by a idja are difficult to bring back to life or animate as undead. The idja automatically attempts to counteract any attempt to resurrect or animate any creature that it has killed (counteract modifier +14, counteract rank 3). If the idja who slew the creature is itself slain, the creature can be brought back from death or become undead normally.
Manifest False Memories (aura, concentrate, emotion, mental, occult) — The ijda releases a cloud of red nindoru butterflies from their body, each of which carries a false memory that infects those they brush against. All non-nindoru creatures within 10 feet of the ijda must attempt a DC 21 Will save.
The ijda can't Manifest False Memories for 1d4 rounds.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is Stupefied 1 by the deluge of false memories until the end of its next turn.
Failure The creature is stupefied 1 and Confused until the end of its next turn.
Critical Failure The creature is stupefied 1 and confused for 1 minute. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns to end the effects.

Ruin Wielder — When a ijda wields a broken non-magical weapon, they do not take any of the disadvantages of the weapon being broken. While the ijda wields it, the weapon becomes a +1 striking weapon that deals an additional 1d6 mental damage on a successful hit.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable frontline body absorbs the long-reach weapon strikes while the aura wears down the whole group's Will saves.
SnareLANDA controller that holds a target inside the aura guarantees repeated Will saves against the memory-disrupting effect.
SniperLANDSafe ranged damage keeps landing while melee attackers stay occupied with the long-reach weapon and lingering aura.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping within the aura✖ low Will saves✖ reliance on kiting at range
Avoid pairing with another Weaver; stacking two area Will-save effects is redundant once the party's weakest save is already being exploited.
