Monsters/Lenses: Unapproachable East Lenses II

Monsters/Lenses: Unapproachable East Lenses II

These lenses from Unapproachable East I actually like. In D&D, they provide a nice way to make spirits of places and similar creatures. In GURPS, you can do anything you want, so you shouldn't feel limited to these options.

    Punch (12): thrust 1d-2 crushing + 1d-2 follow-up fatigue damage from cold (treat FP lost to this attack identically to FP lost to the cold for all purposes, notably recovery (see Cold, p. B430)). Reach C-1.
    Whirlwind: Whenever the orglash touches anyone or is touched, roll 2d as crushing damage and determine knockback, doubling the distance; however, the victim suffers no actual damage from the effect – just the consequences of being thrown around. The elemental can switch this effect off.
    Chill Aura: The orglash always emits cold. The temperature changes at a rate of 4° per second up to a minimum of 40° below the ambient temperature in a four-yard radius around the orglash. This ability never does damage directly.
    Spell-Like Ability:
    Cone of Cold 2 (12).
