Irnakurse
Creature 9 — aberration
SnareAnvilLANDaberration
Irnakurse are believed to be elves who have been subjected to particularly cruel and humiliating fleshwarping practices, though they are so corrupted by their transformation it is nearly impossible to tell. The process of crafting an irnakurse twists the unfortunate elf into a mass of misplaced limbs, loose flesh, and bony protrusions—parts that should be internal are often left on full display to the world. These beings periodically crawl to the surface from the deepest reaches of the Darklands

Abilities
Mind Lash (emotion, mental, occult) — A creature hit by an irnakurse's tentacle is overwhelmed with corrupted images of a ruined life and must succeed at a DC 28 Will save or be Stunned 2 (or Stunned 4 on a critical failure). After attempting this save, the creature is temporarily immune to mind lash for 24 hours.
Soul Scream (auditory, concentrate, emotion, mental, occult) — Frequency once per day
Effect The irnakurse unleashes an alien shriek of nightmarish horror and pain. All non-aberration creatures within a 10-foot emanation must attempt a DC 28 Will save.
The irnakurse can Sustain Soul Scream for up to 6 rounds; each time it does, it repeats the effect without a new save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected, and it's temporarily immune to Soul Scream for 24 hours.
Success The creature is Stupefied 1 for 1 round.
Failure The creature is stupefied 1. Further failed saves against Soul Scream increase the stupefied value by 1, to a maximum of Stupefied 4. Each time the character gets a full night's rest, the stupefied condition gained from Soul Scream decreases by 1.
Critical Failure As failure, except the stupefied value increases by 2 instead of by 1.

Storm of Tentacles — The irnakurse makes up to four tentacle Strikes, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the irnakurse's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after it makes all of its attacks.
WORKS WELL WITH
FlankerLANDA mobile skirmisher can capitalize on targets stunned by the tentacles while the slow-moving aberration holds its ground.
SniperLANDA ranged striker punishes enemies pinned within reach from outside the aberration's short movement range.
WeaverLANDA caster stacking Will-save debuffs compounds the stun pressure from the tentacle strikes on the same target.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ low Will✖ melee reliance
