The land begins its season-long rest, and a lethargy spreads over the face of the world. Bears head for their den, fattened on berry and salmon as others dig their burrows, excavating their earthen beds. The autumnal breath is of this time of relaxation, a gathering of strength, an extended nap, hibernation, and the seeking of sleep.
To normal senses the autumnal seems as a weak but steady zephyr of cool air giving the hint of the passing of summer and the approach of fall. Under certain spells however she appears as an elderly but trim, stately lady some nearly ten feet tall with fair, pale complexion and windblown chestnut hair. She is dressed in a great cloak that at first appears on fire, but is actually made of every leaf in the forest ablaze in all shades of oranges, reds, and yellows.
Combat
An autumnal avoids combat and can normally ignore it, but if genuinely threatened she pulls no punches and goes into a literal whirlwind of activity, her opponents all about her falling into deep, cold sleeps.
Chill Sleep (Su):
Upon a successful touch attack an autumnal can cause a form of hibernation to overcome its opponent for 1d6 minutes (DC 19 fortitude save negates). This is not a mind effect, but a physical one, and so can affect creatures that would normally be immune to sleep affects, such as elves. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Hibernal Aura (Su):
All plants within twenty feet of an autumnal instantly go into dormancy; the leaves turn a brilliant shade, fruits and nuts ripen and fall, and even if magically animated become still and cannot be awoken until Spring. Plant creatures or beasts that hibernate must make a DC 19 fortitude save or have the sudden compulsion to seek out a place to rest and will not stir until spring. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Natural Invisibility (Ex): An autumnal breath is effectively invisible as the spell.
Spell-Like abilities: Caster level 20th. The save DC's are Wisdom-based.
At will - Control Wind, Deep Slumber (DC 20), Diminish Crops, Prestidigitation

Wreathed in Autumn's Splendor (Su):
As a free action an autumnal breath can cause her leafy cloak to come apart and billow and whirl about her in eye-confusing directions. All melee and ranged attacks against the autumnal are assessed a 20 percent miss chance.
