Path Maiden (Spring's Path)
Creature 12 (rare) — incorporeal, spirit, undead, unholy
WeaverShadeLANDAERIALundeadincorporealspirit
Worshippers in Shenmen who devote their every breath to Pharasma only to defy the goddess with their last sometimes transform, upon death, into path maidens. The garments all path maidens wear are the last vestiges of their former faith, a permanent reminder of their disgrace. Path Nomads Path maidens almost always manifest in feminine forms. Those who manifest in masculine forms are instead known as path nomads. These undead have the same abilities but tend to travel more widely; they represe

Abilities
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental) — A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
Limited Flight — A path maiden has a fly Speed equal to her Speed but can't fly higher than 10 feet above the ground, and if she ends her turn above a nonsolid surface, she vanishes and rematerializes on the last space she occupied over solid ground and becomes Stunned 1.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Vitality —
Imprisoning Grave (aura, divine) — 30 feet. The soul of a creature that dies within the path maiden's aura is trapped within its corpse until its body spends 1 minute outside the aura. While trapped, the soul can't move on to the afterlife but can still be brought back to life or transformed into an undead creature.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Blasphemous Aura (aura, occult) — 30 feet. When a creature in the aura uses a spell or ability with the healing trait, it must succeed at a Will save against the path maiden's spell DC – 3. On a failure, the amount of Hit Points restored by the spell or ability is halved. On a critical failure, the vitality energy becomes void energy, harming a living target instead of healing it.
Corrupting Doubt (emotion, mental, occult) — A creature damaged by the path maiden's hand Strike must succeed at a Will save to avoid becoming Slowed 1 for 1 round (Slowed 2 on a critical failure).
