Pathfinder 1e Monster / NPC: Banshee

Hear Heartbeat (Ex)

• A banshee can sense the beating hearts of living creatures within 60 feet, as if it had the blindsight ability.

Terror (Su)

• A creature damaged by the banshee’s touch attack must make a DC 23 Will save. Failure means that the victim cowers in fear for 1d3 rounds.
• If a target is protected against fear by a dispellable effect (such as heroes’ feast or mind blank), the banshee’s touch attempts to dispel one such effect with greater dispel magic (CL 14th).
• Negative energy damage caused by a banshee’s touch can only harm the living; it cannot heal undead.
• This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Wail (Su)

• Once per minute, a banshee may wail as a full-round action. The wail lasts until the beginning of her next turn.
• All creatures within 40 feet of the banshee when she begins her wail, as well as all creatures that end their turn within that radius, must make a DC 23 Fortitude save. (This save is only required once per wail.)
• Creatures under the effects of a fear effect take a –4 penalty on this save.
• Creatures that make their save are sickened for 1d6 rounds. Those that fail take 140 points of damage (as if affected by a CL 14 wail of the banshee).
• If a wailing banshee is damaged during a wail, she must make a Will save (DC 15 + damage taken) to maintain the wail; otherwise it ends.
• This is a sonic death effect.
• Banshee wails are supernaturally powerful, and penetrate the effect of any spell of 3rd level or lower that creates silence.
• The save DC is Charisma-based.
