Monster: Neothelid Overlord

Monster: Neothelid Overlord

The neothelid overlord is a Pathfinder-exclusive monster - a neothelid that splits its consciousness both mentally and physically and gains supreme psychic powers in addition to its psionic arsenal and an aura of madness. Pretty cool.

    Breathe Acid (15): The neothelid breathes out a stream of acid, dealing thrust 4d corrosion damage (KYOS: 3d-1) as large-area injury. This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 15 yards (ST/5) (KYOS: 7 yards). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10).
    Aura of Madness: As a Ready maneuver, the neothelid overlord can activate or deactivate an aura of madness. Any creature within 20 yards must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85) at a -3 penalty. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. The victims get +1 per Fright Check after the first within 24 hours.
