SPECIAL ABILITIES
Aura of Sequencing
(Su) When combat starts, a waveform kaida chooses a sequence over possible
d20 rolls (for example, even numbers counting up from 2 to 20 and then back
down to 2). All creatures making a d20 roll within the waveform kaida’s aura
must succeed at a DC 30 Will save or use the next number in the sequence for
the result. The Will save is not subject to the sequence and is rolled
independently of it. If the save is successful, the creature rolls a d20 as
normal, and the sequence does not progress. The waveform kaida is always
beholden to this sequence and does not receive a Will save to avoid the
effects. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Breath Weapon (Su)
Chaotic creatures take an additional 8d8 points of sonic damage and are
affected as if by dictum if they take
damage from a waveform kaida’s breath weapon. After the first use of the breath
weapon, it is reusable after 1 round; the reuse duration increases by 1 round
until it reaches 4 rounds, and then resets to 1 round again.
Eschew Randomization
(Su) A waveform kaida is not subject to percentile chances less than 100% to
miss a foe due to concealment, nor is it subject to percentile chances to negate
a critical hit (for example,from the fortification
armor special ability)
Progressed Resistance
(Su) A waveform kaida starts combat with the listed energy resistances. At
the beginning of its turn, its resistances increase by 5. For a resistance of
30, the value instead decreases by 5 until it reaches 5.
Sequencelock Curse
(Su) If a waveform kaida dies, all creatures that damaged the kaida in the
past minute are affected by its sequencelock curse. Sequencelock Curse save
Will DC 30; effect the creature’s d20
rolls are predetermined, counting up from 1 to 10 and then restarting at 1. Chaotic
creatures take a –4 penalty on their Will saves and the sequence only goes from
1 to 5 on a failed save.
Where most kaidas protect a location, object, or creature, waveform
kaidas take responsibility for the order of the universe itself. They travel to
hot spots where chaotic beings work to weaken the fabric of reality, either
intentionally or accidentally, and put a stop to them. They are open to
negotiate, unless their opponents are obviously powerful chaotic outsiders, in
which case they initiate combat without warning. Their breath weapon is a sound
waveform which destructively interacts with chaotic creatures regardless of
their origins. Waveform kaidas have no tolerance for lawful creatures engaging
in what the dragons see as destructive behavior. Generally, the kaidas work
alone, but they gather together for events threatening the stability of the
universe, even deigning to challenge chaotic deities if necessary.
All waveform kaidas are 10 feet in length and weigh 250 pounds.
They are immortal creatures, and a new kaida seems to spring into existence on
the opposite side of the universe when another kaida dies.
