DETECT SENTIENCE: THE INTELLECT DEVOURER CAN SENSE THE PRESENCE AND LOCATION OF ANY CREATURE WITHIN 300 FEET OF IT THAT HAS AN INTELLIGENCE OF 3 OR HIGHER, REGARDLESS OF INTERPOSING BARRIERS, UNLESS THE CREATURE IS PROTECTED BY A MIND BLANK SPELL.
Actions
MULTIATTACK: THE INTELLECT DEVOURER MAKES ONE ATTACK WITH ITS CLAWS AND USES DEVOUR INTELLECT.
CLAWS: MELEE WEAPON ATTACK: +4 TO HIT, REACH 5FT, ONE TARGET. HIT: 7 (2D4+2) SLASHING DAMAGE.
DEVOUR INTELLECT: THE INTELLECT DEVOURER TARGETS ONE CREATURE IT CAN SEE WITHIN 10 FEET OF IT THAT HAS A BRAIN. THE TARGET MUST SUCCEED ON A DC 12 INTELLIGENCE SAVING THROW AGAINST THIS MAGIC OR TAKE 11 (2D10) PSYCHIC DAMAGE. ALSO ON A FAILURE, ROLL 3D6: IF THE TOTAL EQAULS OR EXCEEDS THE TARGET’S INTELLIGENCE SCORE, THAT SCORE IS REDUCED TO 0. THE TARGET IS STUNNED UNTIL IT REGAINS AT LEAST ONE POINT OF INTELLIGENCE.
BODY THIEF: THE INTELLECT DEVOURER INITIATES AN INTELLIGENCE CONTEST WITH AN INCAPACITATED HUMANOID WITHIN 5 FEET OF IT THAT ISN’T PROTECTED BY PROTECTION FROM EVIL AND GOOD SPELL. IF IT WINS THE CONTEST, THE INTELLECT DEVOURER MAGICALLY CONSUMES THE TARGET’S BRAIN, TELEPORTS INTO THE SKULL, AND TAKES CONTROL OF THE BODY. WHILE THERE, THE INTELLECT DEVOURER HAS TOTAL COVER AGAINST ATTACKS AND OTHER EFFECTS ORIGINATING OUTSIDE ITS HOST. THE INTELLECT DEVOURER RETAINS ITS INTELIGENCE, WISDOM, AND CHARISMA SCORES, AS WELL AS ITS UNDERSTANDING OF DEEP SPEECH, AND ITS TELEPATHY TRAITS. IT OTHERWISE ADOPTS THE TARGET’S STATISTICS. IT KNOWS EVERYTHING THE CREATURE KNEW, INCLUDING SPELLS AND LANGUAGES.
IF THE HOST BODY DIES, THE INTELLECT DEVOURER MUST LEAVE IT. A PROTECTION FROM EVIL AND GOOD SPELL CAST ON THE BODY DRIVES THE INTELLECT DEVOURER OUT. THE INTELLECT DEVOURER IS ALSO FORCED OUT IF THE TARGET REGAINS ITS DEVOURED BRAIN BY MEANS OF A WISH SPELL. BY SPENDING 5 FEET OF ITS MOVEMENT, THE INTELLECT DEVOURER CAN VOLUNTARILY LEAVE THE BODY, TELEPORTING TO THE NEAREST UNOCCUPIED SPACE WITHIN 5 FEET OF IT. THE BODY THEN DIES, UNLESS THE BRAIN IS RESTORED WITHIN 1 ROUND.
