On a failed save, it takes half as much damage. |
Hunting is a foreign concept to the shapeless, as they have no need for food, but when they have to defend themselves, they rely on their rangers. A shapeless ranger's main weapon is a hook attached to a long chain which can be used to pull enemies into the water, where other shapeless can surround them. |
