||||
|
||||
- At the end of hour 1, they gain telepathy out to 120 feet, the ability to levitate vertically at will 20' / round, and the following psionic power (which can be used 3x per day):
|
||||
- **Blast**: All targets in 60' cone (5’ wide at the mouth, 20’ wide at far end) must **Save vs Paralyze** or be paralyzed for 1d12 minutes.
|
||||
- At the end of hour 2, they gain advantage on all saves vs magic and all saves vs psionic / mental powers, along with the following psionic power (which can be used 3x per day):
|
||||
- **Bolt**: Target within 60' must **Save vs Spells** or take 3d6 damage.
|
||||
- At the end of hour 3, they gain the ability to make an attack with each tentacle for 1d2 damage (plus the chance to perform a [Brain Grab](#brain-grab)), and the following psionic power (which can be used 3x per day):
|
||||
- **Control**: Target within 30' must **Save vs Paralyze** or come under the mental control of the master vampire neurovore for 1d6 rounds.
|
||||
- Target gets additional save to break the control when forced to commit acts that are against their alignment or self-destructive.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Brain Grab
|
||||
|
||||
On a critical hit while attacking with a tentacle, it latches onto the target, preventing their escape and extracting (and devouring) the their brain in 1d4 rounds.
