| Desert’s Wrath (Sp): endure elements 3/day, glitterdust 2/day, or searing light 1/day Raise Scorpion (Su): Once per day, you may cause a dead body within 60 feet to transform into a fiendish giant scorpion under your mental control. This transformation lasts for 1 round per level, after which the scorpion returns to its original corpse form. This is a polymorph effect. Dehydrating Strike (Su): Once per day as a swift action, at any point when you successfully inflict damage on a target, you can cause that target to become instantly and painfully dehydrated if it fails a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your HD + your Constitution modifier). If the save is successful, the victim is staggered for 1 round. If the save fails, the victim takes 1d10 points of Strength drain, is stunned for 1 round, and is then staggered for 1d4 rounds after recovering from being stunned. |
Aldinach appears as a Colossal golden scorpion. Her claws have razor-sharp crystalline edges, and her face is hideously human. On her back swarm countless scorpions, which she can send out to do her bidding with a thought. Aldinach’s cults are strongest in deserts, where her cultists work to seduce and corrupt that realm’s godless citizens.
Aldinach is one of Lamashtu’s daughters, although since Lamashtu’s ascension to divinity, the two have not associated overmuch. The same cannot be said of her relationship with her sister Areshkagal, with whom Aldinach is locked in an eternal war. Ever since Aldinach stole the Abyssal realm known as the Sea of Whispering Sands from her sister, forcing Areshkagal into exile in the desolate Blood Clefts, Aldinach has been forced to defend her desert realm constantly from her sister’s increasingly desperate attempts to reclaim her lost territory. Although she has ruled the Whispering Sands for only a few dozen centuries, already she has inspired her minions to create hundreds of eerie desert cities in her honor, hidden amid the trackless sands.
