description: Banshees are the furious, tormented souls of elves bound to the Material
  Plane by a betrayal that defined the final hours of their lives. Some banshees arise
  from elves who were slain by trusted friends and allies, or whose loved ones betrayed
  them on their deathbeds. Others spawn from elves whose treacherous deeds shortly
  before their deaths left a stain upon their souls. Regardless of their origin, banshees
  despise the living. This hatred of life is all too often a horrific inversion of
  their personalities in life. Some speculate that the more kind-hearted the elf (and
  the more wrenching the betrayal), the crueler the banshee.

- description: A creature damaged by the banshee's touch that isn't already frightened
    must attempt a DC 38 Will save (DC 43 if the attack was a critical hit). If the
    creature fails its save, it's frightened 2; on a critical failure, the creature
    also cowers with fear and is stunned 4. If the creature is protected against fear
    by a spell or magic item, the banshee's touch first attempts to counteract the
    protection effect, with the effect of a 9th-level *dispel magic* spell.

  description: The banshee unleashes a soul-chilling *wail of the banshee* (DC 38).
    This Wail overcomes *silence* and similar effects of 5th level or lower. The banshee
    can instead use Wail as a three-action activity to overcome such effects of up
    to 8th level. The banshee's Wail resonates for 1 round, and any creature that
    comes within the area during that time must attempt a save against the effect.
    A creature can't be affected more than once by the same Wail. The banshee can't
    Wail again for 1d4 rounds.
