Aluropbossk is a member of the secretive Violet Line Order, a warrior cult devoted
to guard order and defend illithids. He believes in military might, and believes
such will be the means for ultimate success of the illithid people. He values
strength and ingenuity. He has ritually scarred his face and tentacles, causing
raised patterns of bumps all over. He fights with his rod of flailing (dire
flail). He is extremely cruel in the subjugation of enemies of the state, and
often leads small groups of mind flayers in pre-emptive strikes against potential
enemies.
Mind Blast (Sp): This attack is 60 feet long. Anyone caught in this cone
must succeed at a Will save (DC 17) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds.
Psionics (Sp): At Will – Astral projection, charm monster, detect
thoughts, levitate, plane shift, and suggestion. These abilities
are as the spells cast by an 8th level sorcerer (Save DC 13+ spell
level)
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the mind flayer must hit a small
to large critter with its tentacle attack. If it gets a hold, it attaches the
tentacle to the opponent's head. After a successful grab, it can try to attach
its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check .
Extract (Ex): A mind flayer that begins its turn with all four tentacles
attached and successfully maintains its hold automatically extracts the opponent's
brain, instantly killing the creature.
Telepathy (Su): Mind flayers can communicate telepathically with any
creature within 100 feet that has a language.
Violet Beacon (Sp): When
Aluropbossk needs other warriors, he manifests the psionic beacon of his order. This
takes a standard action and is detailed in Unveiled Masters: The
Essential Guide to Mind Flayers, page 103.
Valor of the Kin (Ex): Secure in his own place, and proud of his accomplishments
and place in society, Aluropbossk gains a +1 morale bonus on all saves against
mind affecting spells and effects.
Inquisition Blast (Ex): Aluropbossk often works in close combat with
other mind flayers. He can manifest his mind blast power and choose up to four
illithids to not be affected by the blast.
Psionic Smite (Su): Aluropbossk can drive his hatred of outsiders and
violators of his society directly into his weapon blows. This gives his melee
attacks a +4 to hit and a +6 damage bonus. He can do this 1/day.
