Reactions

Bend Space. When the seer would be hit by an attack, it teleports, exchanging a position with another star spawn it can see within 60 feet of it. The other star spawn is hit by the attack instead.

A star spawn seer id a powerful cultist, who usually runs a cult worshipping one of the Elder Evils. They generally know full well the horrific monstrosity that they worship. When a warlock or other spellcaster, or even an occultist, establishes contact with a disembodied star spawn entity, it will assume the mantle of that creature. It transforms into a corpulent bulk of tumorous skin, with strangely coloured whorls appearing on it. Its limbs turn into flipper-like appendages that are painful to use when manipulating anything but the strange staffs they are found with. These staffs are regularly made from a mix of flesh, bone, and star stuff.
