Screaming Scarecrow
Category: Gear
Price: 50 gp
Weight: 15 lb
Description: Although hags originally created scarecrows, gnomes stole the idea and adapted it to their purposes. When a creature within 4 squares of a screaming scarecrow triggers a condition that was set when the scarecrow is placed (such as “a creature passes through the area without saying a password,” or “a human enters the area”), the scarecrow begins to scream. When this happens, any other screaming scarecrow within 50 feet of it also begins to scream.
If a creature attempts to use Stealth to bypass a screaming scarecrow, the scarecrow uses the passive Perception of the creature that placed it, with a +10 bonus. Many fey use screaming scarecrows as an efficient alarm system.
