Yaganties are lean, hairy humanoids with lanky torsos, horned heads, and bulbous black eyes. The elongated fingers of one their hands are made of candlestick wax, and their fingertips, which have wicks instead of nails, burn endlessly. In the dead of night, the flickering light of a yaganty's fingertips casts dramatic shadows across their face and highlights their trollish visage. Yaganty fables follow a common formula. A wayward pedestrian, traveling at night and usually in a forest, follows d

Abilities
Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Attack of Opportunity —
Light in the Darkness (aura, light, mental, primal, visual) — 60 feet. The flames from a yaganty's fingers shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and are visible even in areas affected by magical darkness, but they do not shed dim light beyond that radius. Any creature within 60 feet in an area of darkness or dim light that sees the yaganty's candle fingers must succeed at a DC 27 Will save or become Fascinated by the yaganty for 1 minute or until the yaganty uses a hostile action against the creature, whichever comes first.
Vulnerability to Extinguishing — A yaganty who is doused with water or otherwise has their candle fingers extinguished takes 3d6 persistent mental, becomes Quickened, and screams in agony until they reignite their candles (typically by casting Ignition and lighting their fingers with an Interact action).
Fling Wax (fire) — The yaganty whips a stream of scalding wax in a 30-foot line. Each glob deals 1d6 persistent fire damage. An affected creature or adjacent ally can remove one glob of wax by spending an Interact action to scrape it off. The yaganty can't use Fling Wax again for 1d4 rounds. Creatures in the area must attempt a DC 27 Reflex save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is splattered with 1d2+1 globs of wax.
Failure The creature is splattered with 1d4+2 globs of wax.
Critical Failure As failure, and the creature is Blinded until it removes the globs of wax.
