Mistral Burst [three-actions] (air, conjuration, evocation, primal, teleportation) Garuda teleports to a location within 120 feet. All creatures in a line between her original location and destination are exposed to a slice of air that deals 19d6 slashing damage (DC 40 basic Reflex save). Garuda can’t use Mistral Burst again for 1d4 rounds.
The queen of storms, Garuda is a powerful being connected to the power of air. Though elegant of form and graceful in motion, the capricious and ruthless nature of this bloodthirsty being engenders mindless terror even amongst her devoted worshippers. Her wrath often erupts without warning, and descends upon her victims with unbridled fury. She is quick in combat, using her speed and ability to teleport to catch foes off guard. She does her best to keep her distance, unleashing blasts of wind with glee.
That’s it for this week! If you end up adding Garuda into your game or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
