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. Sloth. When a pusk regains their actions, roll 1d4. The pusk regains that many actions for the turn (to a maximum of 3, or 2 if the pusk is a minion). Effects like the slowed condition can further reduce their number of actions. Cower (1 action). The pusk makes itself as small as possible, protecting its vital organs with its limbs. It gains a +4 circumstance bonus to AC but takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls. This lasts until the pusk moves from its current space, falls Unconscious, or ends the effect as a free action. Frenzied Slashes (3 actions). The pusk makes three claw Strikes, each at a –2 penalty, all targeting the same creature. The pusk's multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after it has made all three attacks. The pusk gains the Clumsy 2 condition until the beginning of its next turn. Vicious Criticals. A pusk makes the most of any weakness it finds. Whenever a pusk scores a critical hit with its claw Strike, the target takes an additional 1d6 persistent bleed damage.
