SQ mold symbiosis
A moldwretch forms bonds with mold hazards by spending time within their areas of effect. A moldwretch can bond with only one mold at a time, and the symbiotic bond forms only after the moldwretch spends 8 hours in contact with the hazard. A moldwretch is immune to fungal hazards. Three example mold symbiosis effects are detailed below.
Brown Mold: The moldwretch is immune to fire, and fire-based attacks restore a number of hit points to it equal to half the damage the attacks would normally deal. Its spores deal 2d6 points of cold damage.
Russet Mold: The moldwretchâs spores expose targets to the effects of russet mold.
Yellow Mold: The moldwretchâs spores expose targets to the effects of yellow mold.
A moldwretchâs tentacle and spore launch attacks expose their targets to the creatureâs spores, which have an effect linked to the moldwretchâs mold symbiosis. A successful DC 19 Fortitude save negates the additional effect of a moldwretchâs spores. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Environment any swamps or underground
Organization solitary, cluster (2â3), or growth (4â9)
Treasure standard
While they are usually reclusive and arenât actively malevolent, moldwretches often come into conflict with adventurers who clear away patches of mold during dungeon exploration. They get along well with vegepygmies, but loathe and fear fungus queens. A moldwretch is only 3 feet tall but is very dense and weighs 120 pounds.
