Tremorsense (Imprecise) 10 Feet

Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.

+2 Status to All Saves vs. MagicInexorable

When Narseigus gains the Paralyzed, Slowed, or Stunned condition, roll a DC 15 flat. On a success, he ignores the condition.

Light Blindness

When first exposed to bright light, the monster is Blinded until the end of its next turn. After this exposure, light doesn't blind the monster again until after it spends 1 hour in darkness. However, as long as the monster is in an area of bright light, it's Dazzled.

Trigger Narseigus fails or critically fails a saving throw against a condition or adverse effect (such as Cursed Metamorphosis)


Effect Narseigus rerolls the triggering saving throw and uses the better result.

Quickened Casting Free Action (concentrate, spellshape)

If Narseigus' next action is to cast an occult spontaneous cantrip or an occult spontaneous spell of 4th level or lower, he reduces the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action).

Steady Spellcasting

If a reaction would disrupt Narseigus' spellcasting action, he attempts a DC 15 flat. On a success, the action isn't disrupted.
