One creature whose space the stick man is occupying must attempt a DC 12 Strength saving throw. On a failure, they become berserk and can not directly target the stick man with any effect that would deal damage, and when the creature moves, the stick man moves as well. This lasts until the stick man leaves the creatures space.

Born from the same source as trolls, stick men draw their existence from humanity's desires to control. While this foundational aspect is not not necessarily a violent desire, leaving them craven, weak beings that travel in swarms of clones, they are nonetheless dangerous. When a creature spends an extended period of time under the control of a stick man, their body slowly unravels, becoming a mess of physical and mental clones of the same stick man. They are quick to engage creatures, even if they have no possibility to control said creature, and their limited intelligence leaves them indifferent to their own fallen. |
