{{author |author_name=Leziad |date_created=7 October, 2009 |status=Finished |editing=Spelling and grammar only, please. }} =Lesser Medusa= [[Summary::Lesser medusa are weaker versions of the more common [[SRD:Medusa|medusa]], the reason why is unknown.]] Some believe lesser medusa are a crossbreed between a human and a [[SRD:Medusa|medusa]] while others believe it is a birth defect. Lesser medusa are very similar to common medusa, but they tend to be slightly taller and weaker. Lesser medusa are often used as slaves and servants by regular medusa, or sometimes as diplomats of medusa communities (since they lack petrification abilities). For some reason, lesser medusa make pretty good adventurers. Since most adventuring parties don't care about races and origin (but care about being turned to stone because they looked in the bad direction) most of these ambitious creatures gain the chances to flourish. Sometimes, a lesser medusa adventurer can end up even more awesome than common [[SRD:Medusa|medusa]]. ==Racial Traits== * {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Strength|-2 Strength}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Dexterity|+2 Dexterity}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Charisma|+2 Charisma}}: lesser medusa are quick and charismatic, but are frail and weak. * {{Property Link|Type|SRD:Monstrous Humanoid Type|Monstrous Humanoid}} * {{Property Link|Size|SRD:Medium|Medium}}: As Medium creatures, lesser medusa have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. * Lesser medusa [[base land speed]] is 30 feet. * [[SRD:Darkvision|Darkvision]] 60 feet. * +1 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]]. * +2 racial bonus on all saving throw against [[SRD:Petrified|petrification]] effects, immunity to [[SRD:Medusa|medusa]]'s prettifying gaze. * +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] and [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks. * Gorgon Gaze ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]): As a standard action, a lesser medusa may freeze her enemies' muscles in place with a single gaze.
