• Boulder Barrage. Epimetheus hurls a barrage of boulders from the walls and ceiling of the lair. Each creature in the lair must make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw or take 35 (10d6) bludgeoning damage.
• Reshape the Lair. Epimetheus alters the layout of the lair, causing walls and pillars to shift and move. All creatures within 60 feet of Epimetheus must succeed on a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw or take 24 (7d6) bludgeoning damage and be moved 10 feet in a random direction. The affected area becomes difficult terrain until the end of the next turn.

COMBAT

Epimetheus usually avoids combat, but if drawn into battle through challenge or if animals or innocent creatures are in danger, he joins the fray. Epimetheus uses his spells and spell-like abilities to summon animals and aid them in battle, while battering adversaries with his massive fists.

Epimetheus’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons he wields, are treated as epic weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Clay of Creation (Su): At will, as a full-round action, Epimetheus can shape clay into the form of any living non-unique creature that is not of extraplanar origin. The sculpture becomes a living creature with average statistics for its type. This creature will serve him until it dies, though Epimetheus usually sets it free after a specific service.

Epimetheus can control only 50 HD worth of such creatures at a given time. If he exceeds this number, all the newly created creatures fall under his control, and any excess creatures from previous castings become uncontrolled. (Epimetheus chooses which creatures are released.)

Epimetheus may also create a ball of clay, at will, as a full-round action, to give to another character. The character may activate the clay at any time by tossing the ball to the ground. The clay will instantly take the form of any creature of 4 Hit Dice or less that the character desires, as described above. This creature will serve the character until it dies, or until the character sets it free.

Something about Epimetheus’ clay makes the creatures unstable sometimes. Any creature that Epimetheus makes for himself may go berserk at the moment of its creation if he does not succeed on a DC 44 Will save. The uncontrolled creation goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a creation goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. A creature created from a ball of clay has a 60% chance of going berserk at the moment of its creation.
