- Description
Flashes of brilliant azure flicker and fade within the lightning fiend's mesmerizing shape, an amorphous form woven from threads of wildly dancing electricity. At times, the elemental takes the shape of a vaguely humanoid figure, its translucent helm graced by two wildly twisting horns. Arcing arteries of lightning leap from the heart of the fiend to shimmer up nearby surfaces.
- Assess
The lightning fiend is medium in size and about six feet high in its current state.
Hunting Strategies
- Lightning Torrent
Fiends have a unique open warding spell that is similar to Searing Light (135) but with electricity. Rather than blinding, it applies nerve damage on all successes, with mid 110's endrolls applying rank 2 nerves.
Electricity builds within a crackling lightning fiend, its form brightening until it is blinding to look upon. A torrent of power pulses outward! CS: +325 - TD: +284 + CvA: -21 + d100: +87 == +107 Warding failed! Power travels through you in a jolt that makes your muscles spasm wildly! A suit of kiramon chitin-scaled platemail partially deflects the onslaught of the shocking attack. ... 5 points of damage! Electric shot shoots pain along your back and legs. You are stunned for 2 rounds! The evanescent shield shrouding Steamich flares to life and absorbs the essence of the spell, dissipating it harmlessly. The power crests over Steamich ineffectually!
- Jagged Jolt
They also have a unique SMR lightning attack:
A crackling lightning fiend roils and whirls, spitting sparks of electricity before sending a jagged bolt streaking toward you! [SMR result: 207 (Open d100: 221, Penalty: 15)] The forking electricity sears itself into your vision as it strikes you! A suit of kiramon chitin-scaled platemail partially deflects the onslaught of the shocking attack. ... 24 points of damage! Electric blast goes right to the heart! You'll miss that steady beat.
