Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
SniperSnareLANDfeygremlin
Mean, dog-faced, and craven, pugwampis take disproportionate enjoyment from the accidents and missteps of other creatures-something that happens often due to the supernatural aura of ill fortune these gremlins project. They enjoy preparing pranks involving spikes, excrement, pits full of spiders, and the like. Pugwampis are somewhat deaf and thus often yell loudly to each other when not hiding. Many pugwampis worship gnolls as gods and aspire to be more like gnolls, although gnolls hate pugwampi

Abilities
-2 Penalty on 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 16 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.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline blocker keeps melee attackers occupied while this archer fires from range as its unluck aura saps their consistency.
CrasherLANDA heavy striker benefits when targets have already rolled worse due to the unluck aura, making its own attacks land more reliably by comparison.
WeaverLANDA caster stacking additional Will-save debuffs compounds the pressure from the aura's forced disadvantage.
