Abilities
+2 to Perception to hear things —
Unluck Aura (aura, mental, misfortune, primal) — 20 feet. Creatures other than animals, gremlins, and gnolls in the aura become extremely unlucky (DC 20 Will save; creature must roll this Will save twice and take the worse result). On a successful save, the creature is temporarily immune to pugwampi unluck auras for 24 hours. On a failure, the creature must roll twice and take the worse result on all checks as long as it is within the aura.
Collateral Damage —
Lucky Stabs — Kurshkin deals an additional 1d6 damage with her melee Strikes against creatures affected by her unluck aura.
Natural Thief — When attacking with a finesse melee weapon, Kurshkin adds her Dexterity modifier to damage rolls instead of her Strength modifier.
Primal Innate Spells DC 20, attack +12
2nd Speak with Animals (At Will)
1st Gust of Wind, Spider Sting
Cantrips (2nd) Prestidigitation
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline body keeps enemies contained within the aura's radius while the caster darts between targets to land precision stabs.
SnareLANDA controller that keeps a target rerolling saves compounds the aura's already poor odds on every check that follows.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker gains reliable value from enemies already forced into unlucky rerolls within the aura.
PUNISHES
✖ saving throw reliance✖ clumping✖ low Will
Avoid stacking multiple aura-based debuffers; overlapping auras cover the same area without adding new pressure.
