Mist Creature (CR +1)[3pp]

Get this book AND support this site!

Mist creatures live in areas where mists rise in the morning and fogs roll over the land at night. These beings of elemental air and water occasionally choose to leave the Elemental Planes of Air and dwell instead on the Material Plane, where their abilities can be used to greater effect. Mist creatures tend to be flighty but highly adaptable beings. They go where the wind takes them and deal with what they encounter along the way as best as they can.

A typical mist creature resembles a being of air or water with a pure white body and hair or feathers the color of fog.
