The yuki-on-na must succeed on a melee touch attack. The affected automatically fail Survival skill to avoid becoming lost. The character cannot even find her way out of a closet without assistance, though she is perfectly capable of following other characters. ### Paralyzing Glance (Su) A yuki-on-na can paralyze a creature within 30 feet with a look. This is similar to a gaze attack, except that the yuki-on-na must actively use it; Those merely looking at her are not affected. Anyone the yuki-on-na targets must succeed on a DC 18 Will save or be paralyzed for 8 rounds. Each round a creature is paralyzed, they can attempt another Will save as a full round action to break the effect. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. #### tactics Yuki-on-nas are virtually never seen except during a heavy snowfall. Evil yuki-on-nas take these opportunities to attack from hiding, while good ones are often seen dancing through the snow. They shun melee combat whatever their alignment, using their touch attack to capture their prey (or defend themselves). #### ecology **Terrain** Cold forest **Organization** Solitary or family (2–3) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 9–16 HD (Medium) Beautiful spirits of the frozen wastes, yuki-on-nas are either hateful and destructive or kindly and helpful. In either case, they can be dangerous, since those who pursue them, whatever their intention, often fi nd themselves lost in a blizzard. A yuki-on-na appears as a human female of the rarest beauty. She has waist-length black hair, soft blue eyes, and full red lips. Her skin is pale blue and icy to the touch. She wears snowy white robes that continually swirl about her, even when no winds are blowing. Some say that a yuki-onna is the spirit of a cold-hearted villain, while others claim she is the spirit of a shaman or shugenja who died while lost in a snowstorm.
