| + | Sirens are shapechangers that were first categorized by the Ancient Greeks. Sirens get a form of high from convincing humans to do their business. Unlike the Sirens of Greek myth, they do not kill the people they seduce. Rather, they force them to do their bidding, which usually involves sending them to kill all their loved ones except the Siren. Sirens can take male or female form. When on the hunt for people to charm, they probe the minds of passersby and take on the form of their ideal mate. They transfer oxytocin into their victims through bodily fluids (usually transferred during the mating process, but even spitting into a targets mouth would suffice). Usually, after their high is done, they abandon their victims to whatever fate awaits them. Sirens appear in their natural form as wrinkly, gray skinned humanoids. They have pointed ears, and have no mouths. They always take the form of an attractive human. Sirens can only be killed if stabbed with oxytocin. As a result, soaking a weapon in a Siren’s victim’s blood (which is rich with oxytocin) makes the weapon sufficient enough to kill a Siren. | ||

| + | ==Combat== | ||
| + | Sirens almost never go into combat, preferring to let their mates do it for them. When forced into combat, they use hand to hand combat. | ||

| + | '''Alter Form (Su):''' Sirens can change their appearance to match that of the ideal male or female form. While in this form, Sirens get a +10 bonus to disguise and a +4 bonus to bluff checks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Mind Reading (Su):''' Sirens can read the minds of passersby, finding their desires. They receive an addition +2 bonus to all charisma-based checks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Charm (Ex):''' Unlike common belief, the Siren’s ability to charm is derived from the release of oxytocin, as opposed to a supernatural effect. The transfer of oxytocin from the Siren is caused by the transfer of fluids, usually occurring during reproduction, though merely sharing the same cup of beer is sufficient enough to transfer the required oxytocin. The person who the hormone is transferred to must make a Will save (DC 17), or become its willing thrall. | ||
