PFS StandardLunar Consort

Under the pale glow of moonlight, a lunar consort is a creature that reflects the pure beauty of nature. They take the form of a tall, slender humanoid in a flowing pearlescent gown that shimmers as it reflects moonbeams back to the sky. But as attractive as the moon makes them appear, a lunar consort’s power shouldn’t be underestimated. These restless spirits are uncommon, created when a mortal drowns under the light of a full moon. As the creature’s skin begins to slough away from extended submersion, a combination of ethereal moonlight and void energy transforms that skin into gossamer ectoplasm, which the undead wraps around their body like a shimmering garment.

True to their name, lunar consorts enjoy the company of their victims before indulging in their feast. They flirt with their unfortunate prey either with flattery or sharing secrets of their previous life, trying to empathize with their victims so that they lower their defenses before attacking them to feed. Those who captivate the lunar consorts are rewarded by becoming their companions after death. The consorts drain them of all their body fluids, then preserve their desiccated bodies. Lunar consorts sometimes keep these remains for companionship, hidden away in secluded grottoes and other lairs where pockets of air have been trapped.

While these undead return to their hideaways on moonless nights, they prefer to stay underwater the rest of the time. They propel through the water by waving their layers of skin like jellyfish. When hungry, they swim to the surface next to coastal settlements or boats, leaving part of their skin floating like a silky gown, and move to draw the attention of their victims. Lunar consorts then use their flesh to grab those who come near and drown them.

On a failure, the creature is fascinated for 1 minute, and it must spend at least 1 of its actions each turn to move closer to the lunar consort for as long as it is fascinated. On a critical failure, the creature also can't use reactions. Regardless of the result, a creature is temporarily immune to Moonlight Waltz for 24 hours.

Sidebar - Additional Lore The Beauty On The Shore

As nocturnal creatures, lunar consorts spend their days sleeping underwater and rising with the moon. On these moonlit nights, they prefer to stay on land, gazing at the moon until sunrise. Throughout the years, this behavior has given way to the many tales of the lady by the water, calling for her lost love. Depending on the story, it could be sandy footprints left on a beach or a phantom walking along the shores of lakes and rivers, but no matter the location, the warning is the same: If you heed her call, you won't see the next day's dawn.
