HP

Bean Panic Oni are curiously afraid of beans, especially as the seasons begin to change. If a creature Interacts to throw a handful of beans at the oni, the oni becomes Frightened 2. While frightened this way, their weakness to spirit damage is increased by 5. The oni then becomes immune to bean panic for 24 hours.

Icy Deflection ⟲ Trigger The snow oni is targeted by a ranged Strike or spell attack roll that doesn't have the fire trait

Effect The snow oni creates a reflective blockade of ice, gaining a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack roll. If the attack misses, the snow oni redirects the attack to another creature within 20 feet of the snow oni. The attacker rerolls the attack roll against the new target.

Reactive Strike ⟲

Speed
40 feet, fly 40 feet

Melee ◆ fist +27 (agile, magical, reach 10 feet, unarmed), Damage 2d8+16 bludgeoning plus 2d6 cold

Melee ◆ jaws +27 (magical, reach 10 feet, unarmed), Damage 2d6+16 piercing plus 1d6 persistent bleed

Ranged ◆ ice dart +25 (cold, magical), Damage 3d10+4 cold plus 1d6 spirit

Primal Innate Spells DC 31, attack +23; 2nd invisibility (at will, self only)

Change Shape ◆ (concentrate, polymorph) The snow oni can take on the appearance of any Medium or Large humanoid creature. This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage bonuses with their Strikes but might change the damage type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning).

Chilling Combo ◆ (cold) The snow oni makes two fist Strikes targeting the same creature. If they both hit, the target becomes Slowed 1 for 1 round.

Falling Frozen Lightning ◆◆ (cold, primal) The snow oni calls down a bolt of icy lightning, white as fallen snow. The bolt strikes a location within 60 feet, freezing the air into a cloud of snow that fills a 20-foot burst and lasts for 1 minute.

All creatures within the snow become Concealed, and all creatures outside the snow become concealed to creatures within it. A creature that enters the snow or begins its turn there takes 15 cold damage, with a DC 33 basic Fortitude save.
