Notes Edit

• There are two abilities with this name, neither of which have the DC listed in the official description. The monster ability has a DC of 19, while the shifted ability (from the mindflayer form of greater wildshape IV) has a DC of 10 + (shifter level)/2 + wisdom modifier.
• This ability does not work on illithids (as determined by the creature's appearance).
• If a target is already stunned by this ability, it will be damaged instead. The damage is 1d6 magical damage for every 3 shifter levels if the caster is a shifter, and 1d6 magical damage for every 2 hit dice otherwise.
• The shifter version of this ability has a scripted limit to its number of uses (1 + 1/3 shifter level for each shift).
• Saving throw bonuses versus spells (besides the bonus from spellcraft) do not apply against the shifter version.

Builder's notes Edit

• The creature special abilities listing in the Toolset does not include the shifted ability, only the monster ability.
• Psionic mind blast differs from this ability only in DC (as its DC varies with creature level and wisdom).
