Ah, what a wonderful time of year it is. Holiday music is being promoted to us on our devices. Our family is bugging us to come over. So today, I thought I would top that off with everyone’s favorite holiday food: a fruitcake. This year, why not show the holidays how much you love these parts of it by sticking a sword right through it. It is so therapeutic to be able to do that from time to time.

Special Abilities
Entropic Preservation (Su) An aberrant fruitcake is immune to all types of aging effects, whether natural or magical.
Sticky (Ex) A weapon that strikes an aberrant fruitcake is stuck fast by a strange adhesive unless the wielder succeeds on a DC 14 Strength check. An application of strong spirits thrown on the aberrant fruitcake reduces the DC of the Strength check to 10 for 1 round. An application of universal solvent will automatically dissolve the sticky fluid. An aberrant fruitcake can dissolve its adhesive at will. The DC is Constitution-based.
