Zoudou the Zealous

Creature 3 (unique) — aberration

These noppera-bos have mastered the art of disguise. Noppera-bos appear to be regular humans from behind, and might even resemble someone you know, until they turn to reveal a featureless face. Consummate Professionals While the typical noppera-bo is cruel and revels in the act of frightening or tormenting humanoid creatures, not all of them wallow in evil. Neutral noppera-bos tend to be pranksters who use their abilities to trick and tease, while the rare good noppera- bos instead use their

Abilities

Telepathy 30 feet (aura, magical, mental) — Telepathy
No Face — Noppera-bos have no sense of vision, but their sense of hearing is precise. They don't breathe and are immune to effects that require breathing. They gain sustenance by absorbing fluids through their skin—traditionally by immersing their hands or faceless head into the fluid to "drink" through osmosis; they can also benefit from consumables, such as potions or elixirs, in this way.
Identity Crisis (emotion, mental, occult, visual) — Frequency once per day Trigger Zoudou successfully Steals the Face of an adjacent creature Effect As Zoudou Steals the creature's Face, she telepathically draws at the creature's sense of identity and self. The creature must attempt a DC 20 Will save. On a failure, the creature questions their own identity and becomes Slowed 1 for 1 round. On a critical failure, they're slowed 1 for 1 minute.
Oath of Anonymity — When Zoudou has a face, she can't cast divine prepared spells.
Sensitive Hearing — As long as a noppera-bo is Deafened, they are Slowed 1.
Impersonate Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The noppera-bo changes into a version of a Small or Medium humanoid they've touched during the last 24 hours, and gains the target creature's face and voice. While transformed, the noppera-bo gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Impersonate that creature and loses its no face ability and listed immunities. The noppera-bo can change back by using this ability again.
Regain Anonymity (occult, polymorph) —
Silent Casting — When Zoudou is faceless, she can substitute an additional manipulate component for a concentrate component.
Steal Face (concentrate, curse, incapacitation, occult, polymorph) — Frequency once per day Requirements Zoudou is faceless Effect Zoudou targets one creature within 30 feet. The creature must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected. **Success** The target is Dazzled until the start of its next turn. **Failure** The noppera-bo gains the target's face. The target's face vanishes until the end of its next turn. Until then, it is Blinded, can't speak or ingest, and can't smell. The target must also hold its breath or begin to suffocate. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the effect doesn't end automatically. The target can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such attempt.
