Phantom of Desire
Level 18Attacks
Abilities
Anything spoken by the phantom of desire is perceived by the listener in its native language.
This phantom is a manifestation of the pernicious rumors throughout the Inner Sea region that Sorshen is hiding her true intentions as ruler of New Thassilon and is biding her time for a chance to reveal her true motives to the world once she's lulled everyone into a false sense of security. A PC who Seeks or Senses Motive on a phantom of desire with a DC 44 perception check realizes that the phantom of desire doesn't actually do additional bleed damage with her strikes, doesn't have her Enticin
When a phantom of desire hits a creature with an intrusive thought Strike, the creature must succeed at a DC 38 will save or become Stupefied 1.
Frequency once per round
Effect The phantom telepathically reaches into the mind of another creature, offering to make their dreams come true. The target must attempt a DC 40 will save to avoid becoming Slowed 1 by the distraction (Slowed 2 on a critical failure) until the start of the phantom's next turn.
A rumor can become so vivid and so persistent that it comes to life, creating a brainchild-a living illusion that hatches from an intense belief in a remorseless and implacable killer. Often, these rumors swirl around the victims of a Phantasmal Killer spell. A brainchild's capabilities grow when they pursue a believer but deflate against skeptics, making them only as bad as one thinks they are. A simple drive to stalk, terrify, and kill propels a brainchild, but the creature might also exhibit other behaviors ascribed to them through gossip.
