Abilities

Voice Imitation — A little man in the woods can mimic the sounds of a person in distress by attempting a Deception check to Lie. The little man in the woods has a +4 circumstance bonus to this check.
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Adopt Guise (illusion, mental, occult) — Playing on the expectations of surrounding creatures, the little man in the woods adopts the guise of a Small or Medium living person that matches the voice he imitates. This guise is subjective and entirely in the mind of each creature around him. A creature that doesn't believe the little man in the woods' voice imitation sees the little man in the woods as he truly is and isn't fooled by Adopt Guise.
