Requirements The coldmire pond occupies the same space as a target it has Grabbed
The coldmire pond pulls the target below the surface. The target must succeed at a DC 26 reflex save or fall Prone and begin drowning.
Water surges out of the coldmire pond in a 20-foot emanation and crashes into nearby creatures, knocking them off their feet. Creatures in the area, as well as any creatures currently sharing the coldmire pond's space, take 4d8 bludgeoning damage and are knocked Prone (DC 26 reflex save). Creatures standing inside the coldmire pond treat their result as one step worse.
Description
Coldmire ponds are often mistaken for shallow pools of water, but these sentient bodies of living water actually crawl along the ground or float through other liquids. Coldmires are dangerous ambush predators, drowning creatures that stray too close to or, even more hazardously, stand or swim inside their waters.
