An aetheric irritant is a chime that can emit a subsonic frequency that otherworldly beings find unpleasant. When you Activate an aetheric irritant, you sound the chime and place it on the ground in a square within your reach. The aetheric irritant affects an area in a 30-foot type:emanation. Creatures with the fey, spirit, or undead traits must attempt a DC 36 Will save when they enter the affected area and at the beginning of every turn they are in the affected area. Those who fail the save treat the area as difficult terrain until the beginning of their next turn. A creature that critically succeeds at the save is immune to all aetheric irritants for 24 hours. An aetheric irritant continues to hum until it shakes itself to pieces after 10 minutes of being activated or it is moved, whichever comes first.


Trait Effects

Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.

Gadget: Gadgets are consumable technological inventions with innovative uses.

Sonic: An effect with the sonic trait functions only if it makes sound, meaning it has no effect in an area of silence or in a vacuum. This is different from an auditory spell, which is effective only if the target can hear it. A sonic effect might deal sonic damage.
