Description
Control Water (Su): A vodyanoi can use control water three times per day as a 10th-level sorcerer. Fish Cloud (Sp): When submerged in water, a vodyanoi can summon a huge school of magic fish to provide concealment (similar to the fog cloud spell). This school of fish swims around the point the vodyanoi designates in a 20-foot radius. This cloud of fish obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (20% miss chance). Creature farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can't use sight to locate the target). A strong current disperses the cloud of fish in 4 rounds. A very strong current disperses the fish in 1 round. The fish created by this spell are formed of magic; they are not real animals, and objects and energies pass through them as they were not there. A vodyanoi can summon a fish cloud 3/day. The fish cloud remains for 40 minutes or until dispersed or dispelled. Vodyanoi sometimes use this ability to deceive villagers, making them think the vodyanoi have brought fish to their waters. When vodyanoi really want to reward people with fish, they use their Survival skill to lure fish into an area. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a vodyanoi must hit a single foe with a claw attack. It can then make a grapple attack as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it gets a hold, the vodyanoi often attempts to pin a foe and hold him underwater until he drowns. Amphibious (Ex): Although vodyanoi live in water, they can survive out of water indefinitely.
