When not on the Astral Plane, it gains the extraplanar subtype. Deific Mimicry (Su) As a swift action, the mnemonic stalker can telepathically probe the mind of a creature within 100 feet, seeking concepts and images of a deity the target worships. As part of this action, the mnemonic stalker changes its shape, appearing as that deity. Alternatively, if the creature doesn’t revere a deity, the stalker changes shape into an individual of the creature’s species. Creatures that succeed at a DC 21 Will save recognize the altered shape as false but don’t see the stalker’s true form. The mnemonic stalker can maintain only one such shape at a time. This is a mind-affecting effect. Mnemonic Predation (Su) Three times per day, when a creature casts a spell the mnemonic stalker knows, the stalker can take a reaction to consume the spell. The caster expends the spell, but the spell has no effect, and the mnemonic stalker regains one use of a spell-like ability of the same level or lower. Description Thanks to their psychic predation and shapeshifting powers, these formless creatures from the Astral Plane are often mistakenly believed to be either gods or devils. Mnemonic stalkers exist outside traditional understandings of good and evil; they consume the thoughts of thinking creatures for nourishment, yet aren’t sapient themselves. They know only the impulse to feed, following their innate attraction to living creatures’ thoughts using psychic sensory organs incomprehensible to denizens of the Material Plane. For millennia, mnemonic stalkers preyed upon an ancient, now-forgotten civilization that once thrived on an unknown world in the Vast. Stalking the shadows of sacred sites and flitting unseen through bustling communal spaces, their predation inadvertently caused the native species to devolve into more instinctual, less intellectual beings—thus depriving mnemonic stalkers of their food source. Nearing starvation, mnemonic stalkers left their homeworld and began to hunt through the Astral Plane for new food sources.
