Abilities & Attacks
Greater Darkvision. A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness. Telepathy 30 feet (aura, magical, mental). A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would. Echolocation (Precise) 20 feet. A grioth can use its hearing as a precise sense at the listed range. Light Blindness. When first exposed to bright light, the monster is Blinded until the end of its next turn. After this exposure, light doesn't blind the monster again until after it spends 1 hour in darkness. However, as long as the monster is in an area of bright light, it's Dazzled. No Breath. A grioth doesn't breathe except to speak and is immune to effects that require breathing (such as an inhaled poison). Grioth Venom (emotion, fear, mental, poison). Saving Throw DC 20 Fortitude save. Maximum Duration 6 rounds. Stage 1 Frightened 1 (1 round). Stage 2 Frightened 2 (1 round). Stage 3 Frightened 3 (1 round) Invoke Haunter of the Dark (2 actions) (divine, mental, visual). Frequency once per day. Effect The grioth cultist waves a hand in a complex pattern to invoke dark powers, dealing 3d8 mental damage. Each non-grioth creature within 20 feet must attempt a DC 20 Will save. Critical Success The creature is unaffected. Success The creature takes half damage. Failure The creature takes full damage and becomes Stupefied 1 for 1 round. Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and becomes stupefied 1 for 1 minute. Shock Mind (2 actions) (mental, occult). The grioth cultist makes a Strike with a voidglass weapon. If the Strike hits, it deals an additional 2d6 mental damage, and the target must succeed at a DC 20 Will save (this has the incapacitation trait) or become Confused for 1 round.
