Abilities & Attacks
- **Carbuncle Empathy** The carbuncle can telepathically send mild feelings and sensations to nearby creatures. It can't use this ability to communicate in language or hinder a target, but it might convey a feeling of dread or the scent of food cooking nearby. - **Easy to Influence** Any mental spell can affect a carbuncle, regardless of creature type limitations. Against a suggestion spell, a carbuncle always gets an outcome one degree of success worse than it rolled on its saving throw. - **Fatal Faker** (arcane, conjuration, teleportation) **Trigger** The carbuncle takes damage The carbuncle feigns death by teleporting away and leaving a replica of its corpse behind, creating a colorful flash of light and a croaking sound. The real carbuncle transports to a clear space within 30 feet that it can see, and a hollow shell remains behind. The fake body appears solid until it is touched, at which point it crumbles to dust. - **Specious Suggestion** (enchantment, incapacitation, mental) The carbuncle concentrates on a creature it can see and tries to manipulate that creature. The target must attempt a 18 Will save. The target then becomes temporarily immune for 24 hours. Critical Success: The attempt backfires and bolsters the target's mind instead, granting it a +1 status bonus to Will saving throws for 1 hour. Success: The target briefly experiences an unusual but harmless sensation like an unexpected flavor or scent, an urge to eat something strange, or an amusing half-forgotten memory. Failure: The target is compelled to spend all of its actions on its next turn performing harmless, pointless, and usually embarrassing actions. Critical Failure: As failure, but the compulsion persists for 1 minute. The target can attempt a new save at the end of its turn each round to end the effect.
