Lamia Matriarch
Creature 8 — beast, humanoid
The brilliant and powerful lamia matriarchs possess boundless ambition, always seeking to bring more people and territory into the clutches of their kind. Consequently, they become rulers of other lamia. For all their cruelty toward other creatures, they're fierce protectors of other lamia, and consequently, they quickly come to rule cults or warbands. Regardless of the lamia's gender, these ascended lamias are always known as matriarchs. A lamia matriarch is set apart from their kindred by the

Abilities
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —
Change Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The lamia matriarch can take on the appearance of a Medium humanoid. This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage modifiers with their Strikes, but it does prevent them from using their cursed touch. Each lamia matriarch has a fixed humanoid form that resembles their upper torso when in their true form. This is the only humanoid form they can adopt using this ability.
Change Shape
Matriarch's Caress (curse, mental, occult) — The lamia matriarch touches a creature, who must succeed at a DC 28 Will save or become Stupefied 2 (Stupefied 4 on a critical failure). If the target fails additional saves against this ability, the condition value increases by 1 (increases by 2 on a critical failure, to a maximum of Stupefied 4). This condition value decreases by 1 every 24 hours.
Scimitar Storm — The lamia matriarch makes a scimitar attack against each enemy within reach. Each attack counts toward their multiple attack penalty, but the penalty does not increase until after all the attacks. The first enemy they damage is subject to Matriarch's Caress.
