Xulgath Herd-Tender

A reptilian xulgath who drives and protects the warband's beasts from horseback, cracking a whip and reeking of the deep places it crawled up from. Foes choke on its stench before they ever close the distance.

Mounted Defense [Reaction] Prerequisite The herd-tender is mounted; Trigger The herd-tender is targeted with a melee or ranged attack by an attacker they can see; Effect The herd-tender gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack.

Powerful Stench (aura, olfactory) 30 feet. A creature that enters the area must attempt a DC 26 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is sickened 2, and on a critical failure, the creature is also slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened. While within the aura, the creature takes a –2 circumstance penalty to saves to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune to all xulgaths' stenches for 1 minute.
