;
Frequency once per hour;
Effect You play several notes on the pipes, quickly altering their pitch and tone. Each creature within a 20-foot
emanation must attempt a DC 31 Will save to resist the song. Creatures that attempt this save become temporarily immune to Disorienting Fugue for 1 minute.
Critical Success The target is unaffected and its temporary immunity to Disorienting Fugue increases to 1 hour.
Success The target is unaffected.
Failure The target is
confused for 1 round.
Critical Failure The target is confused for 1 round and immediately attacks itself (in the normal fashion for attacking oneself while confused). This
Strike doesn’t give the creature a flat check to recover from the confusion.
Activate—Throw Song [reaction] (
auditory,
mental);
Trigger A creature within 30 feet attempts a melee
Strike against you or an ally;
Effect You let loose a staccato chirp from the pipes that appears to come from somewhere else. The triggering creature must attempt a DC 31 Will save. On a failure, the creature redirects the Strike to another creature of your choice within reach of the melee Strike. If no other creatures are within range, the affected creature instead takes a –2 penalty to the Strike.
Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include the skin and vocal cords of a
cauthooj.
