Tremorsense (imprecise) 30 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.

Stench (aura, olfactory)

30 feet. A creature entering the aura must attempt a DC 24 fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is Sickened 1, and on a critical failure, the creature also takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round. 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' stench for 1 minute.

Effect: Xulgath Stench

Earthen Blow (earth)

Frequency once per round

---

Effect The stoneliege commands nearby earth to attack a foe. The stoneliege makes a claw Strike against a creature that is within 60 feet of the stoneliege and 10 feet of an earthen surface, such as dirt, mud, stone, or sand. The Strike originates from the surface's square and has a reach of 10 feet. On a critical hit, the target is also knocked Prone.

Earthen Torrent (earth)

Frequency once per minute

Requirements The stoneliege is standing on or next to at least 10 cubic feet of dirt, stone, or other earthen material

---

Effect The stoneliege creates a violent wave of roiling earth. Creatures in a 15-foot cone take 7d8 bludgeoning damage (DC 26 reflex save; on a critical failure, creatures are also knocked Prone).

Stone Throes (earth)

The stoneliege turns their own body into solid stone like a statue and immediately becomes Petrified. Any creature grabbed or restrained by the stoneliege becomes Immobilized; to get free, the creature must damage the statue enough to break it or succeed at a DC 28 acrobatics check to Escape.

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained

---

Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.

The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.

Primal Innate Spells (DC 26, +18 to hit)

4th Level: Shape Stone

---

Stonelieges are xulgaths magically infused with living earth—the very bones of the world. They are created through a process xulgaths call stone-binding, which can be performed with complex alchemy, powerful psychic magic, or Abyssal rituals. Their scales are like stone slabs, and their bones are as dense as bedrock, so they are among the hardiest and longest-lived xulgaths. To stonelieges, earth is as mutable as water, and their innate power to shape the soil and stone beneath their feet makes them integral members of xulgath society (as well as formidable combatants).
