Actions
Bite. Melee Strike +12/+7/+2 (unarmed, versatile bludgeoning) with 4d8+3 piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Strike +12/+7/+2 (sweep, unarmed) with 3d8+3 slashing damage.
Gaze (30-foot aura). Once per hour as a Single Action, a Nabasu can use its death-stealing gaze. For the full round afterwards, all creatures that are within or move within 30 feet of the Nabasu without taking precautions against the gaze must make a DC 22 Fortitude Save. On a failure, the creature is Enervated 2. If this reduces a creature with the humanoid tag to a Proficiency Score of 0, it dies and transforms into a ghoul under the Nabasu’s control. Only one such transformation can occur per round of the gaze so, in a case where there are multiple instances, the Nabasu choose which humanoid becomes a ghoul. This has the supernatural and visual tags.
Powerful Stance. As a Single Action, a Nabasu can take a stance and gain a 1d8 Insight bonus on melee damage rolls.
