Cloak of High Tide (aura, primal, water) 10 feet.

Elemental water magic ebbs and flows into a tide giant. At the start of each of the giant's turns in combat, their cloak of high tide automatically activates if it's inactive or ends if it's already active. Any creature other than a tide giant that enters or starts its turn in the aura while it's active regains 5 healing vitality HP; this is a healing vitality effect, and a creature can benefit from it only once per round. When active, the cloak appears as a magical, flowing cloak of seafoam that billows from the tidal giant's shoulders and the back of their limbs. The cloak is inactive when the tide giant isn't in combat.

Each creature can be affected only once during a single use of Blood Tide.

If the giant's cloak of high tide is active, this is a 30-foot cone or a 10-foot burst. Each creature in the area takes 9d8 bludgeoning damage with a DC 33 basic Reflex save.
