Kobold Egg Guardian
Creature 3 — humanoid, kobold
SnareLANDhumanoidkobold
Kobold egg guardians are some of the best warriors in a tribe, tasked with protecting the next generation. They pledge to give their lives to protect the tribe's eggs, though not before exhausting all their tricks. Kobolds are drawn to beings and objects of power, establishing their communities near them. Once a warren has been formed, the resident kobolds construct traps and set up ambushes to deter interlopers.

Abilities
Immobilizing Thrust — The kobold egg guardian makes a longspear Strike. If the Strike hits, the target must attempt a DC 20 Reflex save. On a failure, the creature is Immobilized until the kobold egg guardian moves, attacks with the longspear, or is no longer wielding the longspear.
Luring Retreat (auditory, mental, visual) — The kobold egg guardian screams and Strides up to their Speed. Each enemy who sees or hears the kobold egg guardian must succeed at a DC 17 Will save or be Fascinated by the egg guardian for 1 round. On the creature's turn, it must use at least 1 action (or 2 actions on a critical failure) to move closer to the kobold egg guardian (while avoiding obvious dangers). Regardless of the result of the save, targets are then immune to Luring Retreat for 24 hours.
WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLANDA ranged ally freely fires at targets this creature has Immobilized with its longspear.
AnvilLANDA frontline body blocks retaliation while this creature locks down a backline threat with fear and control.
CrasherLANDA mobile striker capitalizes on targets left Fascinated and unable to defend themselves.
PUNISHES
✖ low Will✖ low Reflex✖ isolated targets
Avoid pairing with another Snare; layering control effects on the same target wastes actions once one save already locks them down.
