Manifesting Time: 1 round
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./
level)
Effect: One ectoplasmic manifestation of a size equal to ten 10-ft. cubes (S)
You fashion an ephemeral, manylegged mass of pseudo-living ectoplasm called an ectoplasmic
shambler. You can direct the
shambler as a
free action. It has a
speed of 10 feet. It can completely surround objects (and opponents) over which it is manifested or onto which it moves, because it has the consistency of thick mist. The
vision of those within the
shambler is limited to 5 feet, and
manifesting powers (or
casting spells) within the
shambler is difficult due to the constant turbulence felt by those caught in the
shambler's form.
Creatures enveloped by the
shambler, regardless of
Armor Class, take 1 point of
damage for every two
manifester levels you have in each round they become or remain within the roiling turbulence of the
shambler. Anyone trying to manifest a power must make a
Concentration check (DC 15 + power's or spell's
level) to successfully manifest a power or cast a spell inside the
shambler.
A wind stronger than 20 miles per hour that blows against the
shambler reduces its
speed to 0 feet during the first round, and in subsequent rounds moves it in the direction of the wind at a
speed of 5 feet. A wind stronger than 20 miles per hour that blows in the direction the
shambler travels increases its
speed to 15 feet.
