Abilities & Attacks

Telepathy 100 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. Mind Crush (1 action) (mental, occult). Requirements The nilith has a creature Grabbed. Effect The nilith reaches into the mind of the grabbed creature and implants disjointed images of the victim's worst fears and nightmares. The grabbed creature takes 6d6 mental damage with a DC 31 basic Will save. On a critical failure, the target is also affected as though by Never Mind, and it must attempt a second Will save against that effect. Grab (1 action). Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained. Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
