Control Morlokks
As a combat action, may gain control all Morlokks of lesser HD within 40'.
- Must concentrate to maintain control.
- Controlled Morlokks function as an extension of the master:
- Master can see through all of their eyes.
- They move how and where the Master tells them.
- Morlokks typically submit willingly, must Save at -4 to prevent control (if they try to resist).
- If battle goes poorly, lower HD morlokks will fight to the death to allow their leaders to retreat.
Psychic Blast
As a combat action, may force up to 2 targets within 120' to each Save at -4 or take 2d6 damage.
- Typically manifests as bleeding from nose, eyes, and ears.
- If this inflicts 11+ points of damage on a single creature in a single combat round, the victim falls unconscious for 1d4 turns.
Telepathy
May read (and respond to) the thoughts of another living creature within 120'.
- Must concentrate to maintain connection.
- Unwilling target may Save at -4 to prevent master from gaining an empathic understanding of their thoughts.
- Once connection is established, may initiate bidirectional telepathic communication with target (although it does not have to respond).
- May be blocked by lead.
