Abilities

Stench (aura, olfactory) — 30 feet. DC 16 Fortitude

A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the area must succeed at a Fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (plus Slowed 1 as long as it's sickened on a critical failure). A creature that succeeds at its save or recovers from being sickened is temporarily immune to all stench auras for 1 minute.
Hidden Movement — If a xulgath skulker starts their turn Undetected by a creature or merely Hidden from it, that creature is Off-Guard against the skulker's attacks until the end of the skulker's turn.
Mask Stench — The stalker masks their stench with curated herbs, suppressing their stench aura. The skulker can resume their stench aura as a free action.
Sneak Attack — A xulgath skulker deals an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
