A creature that makes its save gains immunity to that ashen husk's dehydrating aura ability for 24 hours, although it might still take the nonlethal damage from other sources of heat. A living creature within 10 feet of the ashen husk takes 1d4 points of nonlethal damage from heat each round unless it has at least heat protection level 1 (see page 14), and must make a DC 13 Fortitude save or be dehydrated (sec the dehydrated condition, page 15). COMBATĪshen husks slam their foes with bone-hard limbs, but they expose their real threat against living creatures caught in their dehydrating aura.ĭehydrating Aura (Su): An ashen husk gives off a 10-footradius emanation of dehydrating heat, a deadly threat for creatures that must drink to survive. Sometimes entire caravans go lost, and many of these unfortunate creatures might be seen years later as stumbling corpses with a thirst born in hellish heat. Many ashen husks died of exposure in the open desert when they became lost without water. Ashen husks stand just shy of 6 feet tall, but in their dehydrated state, weigh only about 140 pounds.
The evidence of their dry death is obvious as a supernatural deliquescent aura. The air around it wavers with a dry, sucking heat, as if the corpse brings with it the soul of the waterless desert.Īshen husks lost their lives to unquenchable thirst.
