Organization solitary, pair, or clutch (3–18)Special AbilitiesAttached Pain (Su) When a mindshroud ray attached to another creature takes damage, it can use its reaction to force the attached creature to attempt a DC 13 Will saving throw. If the target fails, the ray reduces the damage it takes by up to 2, transferring that damage to the attached creature. This is a mind-affecting pain effect.
Ego Crush (Su) As a standard action, a ray deals 2d6 nonlethal damage to a visible target within 30 feet. The target also takes a –1 penalty to Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based checks; spell save DCs; and Will saving throws for 1 round (DC 13 Will negates). Targets the ray touches have a –2 penalty to this saving throw; the ray can touch an unwilling target by succeeding at a melee attack against the target’s EAC. A target that fails this saving throw by 5 or more is also staggered for 1 round.
Ego Meld (Su) As a full action when a mindshroud ray starts its turn attached to an unconscious but living aberration, animal, dragon, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, or outsider with the native subtype, a mindshroud ray can attach to a part of the body where the target’s brain is located (usually the head). This process takes 1 minute and deals 5 piercing damage. The target and the mindshroud ray become one creature who gains the shrouded template graft and recovers from all nonlethal damage. A melded mindshroud ray can’t willingly leave the target and dies if the target does. Another creature can remove the melded mindshroud ray with 4 hours of surgery, which requires a medical lab and a successful DC 35 Medicine check.
Shroud Sense (Su) A mindshroud ray’s blindsight automatically detects shrouded creatures.DescriptionMindshroud rays are cruel predators in search of hosts.Extra ContentThe following extra content was found for this creature:
