Minister Of Tumult

Breathsense (Precise) 60 feet — A jiang-shi can't perceive living creatures beyond 5 feet except with their breathsense. A living creature within the listed range who holds its breath is Invisible to the jiang-shi for as long as it holds its breath. To hold its breath in this way, a creature must have one hand free to fully plug its nose or cover its mouth.

Jiang-Shi Vulnerabilities — All jiang-shi possess the following vulnerabilities. Revulsion A jiang-shi can't voluntarily come within 10 feet of a brandished mirror or the sound of ringing handbells. A creature can Interact with a mirror or handbell to brandish or ring the item for 1 round (similar to Raising a Shield). If the jiang-shi involuntarily comes within 10 feet of an object of their revulsion, they gain the Fleeing condition, running from the object of their revulsion until they are 10 feet or farther from the object. After 1 round of being exposed to the object of their revulsion, a jiang-shi can attempt a DC 25 Will save as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. On a success, they overcome their revulsions for 1d6 rounds (or 1 hour on a critical success). Bitter Epiphany A jiang-shi is afflicted by severe melancholia when reminded of their debased nature and the truth of their existential disconnection from living beings. When a jiang-shi sees an altar with at least 1 Bulk of food offerings to ancestor spirits, they must attempt a DC 25 Will save. They are then temporarily immune to Bitter Epiphany for 1 minute. **Critical Success** The jiang-shi is unaffected. **Success** The jiang-shi is Stupefied 1 for 1 round. **Failure** The jiang-shi is Stupefied 2 for 1 minute. **Critical Failure** The jiang-shi is stupefied 2 and Confused for 1 minute.

One More Breath (divine, void) — Unlike other undead, a jiang-shi isn't destroyed at 0 HP. Instead, they fall Unconscious and awaken in 1 minute with 1 Hit Point. Scattering at least 1 Bulk of glutinous rice or hen eggs on an unconscious jiang-shi destroys them permanently. If the jiang-shi was reduced to 0 HP by an attack from a weapon made of duskwood, they're destroyed immediately.

Void Healing — Negative Healing

Warped Fulu — The jiang-shi has corrupted the fulu attached to their brow. The jiang-shi is immune to spells cast from a magic item without expending a spell slot, such as from a scroll or wand. A creature can Steal the fulu to remove it, rolling against the jiangshi's Perception DC. This immediately ends the jiang-shi's immunity to these effects. If a creature then destroys the removed fulu with an Interact action, the jiang-shi also loses their fast healing ability. A jiang-shi can create a replacement fulu by spending 1 uninterrupted hour inscribing a strip of paper (or similar) with a writing instrument.

Drain Qi (divine) — A victim's drained condition value decreases by 1 every week. If the creature restricts their diet to glutinous rice for at least 1 day and spends 10 minutes dancing, jogging, or otherwise engaging in vigorous physical activity by succeeding at a DC 25 Athletics check, it reduces its drained condition by 1.

Premonition of Death —

Rigor Mortis — The jiang-shi ignores difficult terrain and effects that would render them Prone. A jiang-shi can't take the Drop Prone action. When they Leap they don't trigger reactions that are normally triggered by move actions, such as Attacks of Opportunity.

Stance of Death (stance) — The minister's qi-engorged form allows perfect body control at all times. They assume one of the following stances. Bone Corpse When the minister successfully Drains Qi while in this stance, for 1 round each time the drained creature Strides it must succeed at a DC 5 Flat or waste the action and fall Prone. Cloudless Void The jiang-shi gains a +1 circumstance bonus to AC and their claw Strikes gain the reach trait. Sundered Veins Creatures struck by the jiang-shi's claw Strikes take 1d10 persistent bleed damage. On a critical hit, they are also Enfeebled 1.
