[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Siktempora]]
All emotion goes somewhere. Feelings lurch between places and congeal in the endless corners of time, particularly when creatures attempt to travel through time and stain the dimension with their full emotional history. When enough of these “emotional stains” accumulate at one point in space and time, a siktempora can form. Most siktemporas never leave the Dimension of Time, dwelling forever in their own isolated mindscape-like fugues, where they bask in the emotions that created them.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of various emotions and base drives.
* CombatClairvoyance: They can see slightly into the future, granting them a bonus to AC as they see attacks coming before they happen.
* FlashStep: Their Temporal Jaunt ability lets them briefly vanish into the time stream. This functions like ''dimension door'' but they can only arrive at a location they could normally reach by walking, effectively letting them walk that distance instantly. This also has the benefit of not actually being a teleportation effect, and as such functions even in areas that bar teleportation.
* HealingFactor: All siktempora have fast healing.
* NoSell: All are immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting effects, as well as one additional condition based on their originating emotion.
* TheUndead: Sometimes deaths can stain time with the strongest emotion they were feeling, allowing thoughts and emotions unbound by physicality to congeal into a siktempora.

!!Misery Siktempora
->'''Level:''' 12
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

Misery siktemporas are personifications of silent suffering. Hideous to behold, wracked in such constant pain that they can endure any agony, and with alien minds incapable of forming any other thought apart from various forms of self-loathing and despair, misery siktemporas find themselves drawn out of the Dimension of Time to seek out those who spawned them and inflict miserable vengeance.
----
* ClockRoaches: Not by nature, but misery siktemporas born from the desecration of the timestream get bonuses against the creature that created them and get an extra at-will spell to constantly pinpoint their maker's location.
* TheEeyore: A murderously aggressive version, but they feel only misery and despair.
* EmotionBomb: Those struck by a misery siktempora's claws are overwhelmed by feelings of misery and despair, suffering significant debuffs and healing the misery. They also have a telepathic wail that fills the mind of a single target with the misery's emotions.
* FeelNoPain: They have immunity to pain effects, as their constant misery dwarfs anything else they could experience. Considering that even [[CombatSadomasochist kytons]] don't have that, it says a lot about what their existence feels like.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: According to fluff, they have no innate way to return to the Dimension of Time once they leave, making their campaigns of misery one-way trips. According to their stats, they can cast ''plane shift'' once a day.
* {{Sadist}}: They're particularly good at hurting creatures that are already suffering, gaining bonuses against creatures under the confusion condition or affected by their Misery ability. They're also the only species of siktempora that actively seek to leave the Dimension of Time to spread their base emotion, which happens to be misery.
* TheVoiceless: They're mute, but make up for it with {{Telepathy}}.
