Special Abilities

Alcoholic Poisoning (Su) As a swift action, an ouroboozes can cause single creature within 60 feet that is affected by sickened condition caused by alcohol (including especially creatures affected by intoxicating breath ability) to suffer intense but short alcoholic poisoning, becoming blinded, confused, exhausted, or nauseated (ouroboozes choice) for 1d4+1 rounds. A successful Fortitude saving throw (DC 23) reduces duration of this effect to 1 round. The creature is purged of all consumed alcohol afterwards, and, incidentally, of any ingestion-delivered disease or poison. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Intoxicating Breath (Su) As a standard action, an ouroboozes can breathe a cloud of essential liquor that makes everyone within 60 ft.-long cone-shaped burst intoxicated as if they drank a serving of alcohol, and, on failed Fortitude saving throw (DC 23), sickened for 1d4+1 rounds. Ouroboozes can use this breath once every 1d4+1 rounds. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Ouroboozes's Curse (Su) As a full-round action, or as an immediate action when dropped to 0 or less hit points, ouroboozes can curse one creature within 60 feet with its curse. The affected creature can't ever again be intoxicated by alcohol, or it becomes forever intoxicated suffering from permanent sickened condition. Ouroboozes does not use this curse lightly, only invoking this power in extreme conditions, when deeply offended by the target's action—even attacking ouroboozes isn't enough of provocation.

Overwhelming Spirits (Su) The very presence of ouroboozes fortifies all manifestations of alcohol within 300 feet. All alcoholic beverages created or consumed within the aura are extremally potent and count as 1d4+1 servings. Delay poison, neutralize poison, heal, or any other effect that suppresses or removes poison used within the aura has 50% chance of failing to affect alcohol effects (all other effects work normally).

Ouroboozes is an enormous, serpentine patron of very particular aspect of alchemical workings, the creation and use (internal, external, and as further alchemical component) of distilled spirits.

Through the ages, ouroboozes offered both valuable insights and taught dangerous techniques, occasionally leading to death, disability, or madness of a careless or too hasty student.

There are records of alleged killings of ouroboozes, making it unclear if it is a singular entity that is reborn from time to time, or a whole species of alchemically-alligned serpents.
