Bestiary 4 | Monsters | Star-Spawn of Cthulhu | Special Abilities | Overwhelming Mind
A star-spawn of
Cthulhu's mind is
overwhelming in its power and alien structure. The first time a creature other than an
outsider (excluding native outsiders) or aberration makes mental contact with a star-spawn of
Cthulhu, it must succeed at a DC 29 Will save or be
stunned for 1d4 rounds. On a successful save, the creature is merely
staggered for 1 round. This effect can occur whether the star-spawn of
Cthulhu initiates mental contact (such as via a
demand,
dream,
nightmare, or
sending spell-like ability, or once per round merely by telepathic communication) or another creature attempts to do so (such as via
detect thoughts or
dominate monster). Once a creature is exposed to a specific star-spawn of
Cthulhu's
overwhelming mind, it is immune to this effect from all star-spawn of
Cthulhu for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
