Binding Mummy (Alpha 0.2)
🕑 Added 2022-10-13 06:32:57 +0000 UTCUndead found in tombs within the sea of sand that lies between Centrilia and Hendrea, Binding Mummies are the reanimated spirits of particularly dominant aristocrats. Appearing as a form wrapped in faintly glowing white bandages adorned with gold and jewelry, the form of a Binding Mummy is hollow, being pupeteered from the interior by its lingering spirit.
Though they rarely leave their lavish lairs, there's nothing more that Binding Mummies seek more than to dominate others, most often choosing to completely immobilize and restrain others to keep as submissive, mummified trophies. The lairs of Binding Mummies are often found within forgotten desert temples, filled with riches of their past lives.
One of the key traits of these mummies is their ability to restrain others with their magically binding body wrappings. Once restrained, these mummies usually take one of three courses of action: hypnotizing the target into a servant, keeping the target tightly bound, storing them in a sarcophagus, or, in the case that the Mummy takes a particular liking of a creature, possessing their body. While it's rare for a Binding Mummy to choose the latter, they may use a creature's body to venture out from their lair to lure in more potential servants.
For those looking to slay a Binding Mummy, while they are notably strong willed and resilient, they are particularly vulnerable to Fire and Light damage and are susceptible to sunlight when not possessing another creature.

Damage: 1d10 Physical + 1d10 Dark + Strength

Additional Effects: When a creature is hit by this attack, it must roll 1d6, adding their speed. If the total is less than 15, the target becomes bound by the Binding Mummy. While bound this way, the affected creature can't move more than four spaces from the Binding Mummy, but can otherwise take actions and move. This Bound condition ends if the Binding Mummy ends it prematurely, if the Binding Mummy sustains Fire or Light damage, or if the creature spends a two-handed action to repeat its speed roll and succeeds.

Additional Effects: The Binding Mummy chooses a creature bound by either its Bandage Lash or Mummify abilities. If that creature has 12 or less will, that creature becomes hypnotized. If a target has 13 or more will, they must roll 1d4, becoming hypnotized on a roll of 1. A creature affected by Mummify is automatically affected by this ability. A creature hypnotized believes itself to be the loyal servant of the Mummy. This hypnotized condition lasts for 24 hours but is ended prematurely if the hypnotized creature sustains any damage.
Mummify
Action: Three-Handed
MP: 0
Range: 1
Accuracy Dice: None
Damage: None
Damage Type: None
Additional Effects: The Binding Mummy Targets one creature currently bound by it that is affected by its Reel In ability. If that creature has 10 or less Strength, it is automatically affected by this ability. Otherwise, that creature must roll 1d6, becoming affected by this ability on a roll of 1-4. If a creature is affected, the Binding Mummy completely encases the target in tightly wrapped bandages, binding that creature. While bound this way, a creature cannot take action, cannot move, cannot speak, and cannot see. This bound condition ends if the target sustains 25 or more Fire or Light damage from a single source, if the Binding Mummy ends it prematurely, or if Binding Mummy is defeated.

This possession lasts indefinitely or until the Mummy chooses to end it prematurely, the possessed creature is defeated, or the possessed creature sustains Fire or Light Damage.
