The god brain is aware of the presence of creatures within 10 miles of it that have an Intelligence score of 4 or higher. It knows the distance and direction to each creature, as well as each one’s Intelligence score, but can’t sense anything else about it. A creature protected by a mind blank spell, a nondetection spell, or similar magic can’t be perceived in this manner.DarkLord (EliteTrait, recharges after a Rest). When the god brain is first bloodied, all conditions and effects it is suffering end for it, it recharges all of its abilities, and he can use its Elite Actions.Empowered Mind. When the god brain uses psionics to cast a spell, the range of the spell is doubled and if the spell causes damage, the god brain adds 6 psychic damage to the damage roll (included in the attack).Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the god brain fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.Magic Resistance. The god brain has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.Telepathic Hub. The god brain can use its telepathy to initiate and maintain telepathic conversations with up to ten creatures at a time. The god brain can let those creatures telepathically hear each other while connected in this way.ACTIONSMultiattack. The god brain makes two tentacle attacks.Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 60 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Huge or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 15) and takes 10 (1d8 + 6) psychic damage at the start of each of its turns until the grapple ends. The elder brain can have up to eight targets grappled at a time.Mind Blast (Recharge 5–6). The god brain magically emits psychic energy. Creatures of the elder brain’s choice within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 20 Intelligence saving throw or take 50 (8d10 + 6) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.Mind Sliver. The god brain selects a creature within 120 feet of it. The creature must make a DC 20 Intelligence saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) psychic damage and subtracting 1d4 from the next saving throw it takes before the end of the god brain's next turn on a failure.Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The god brain’s innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 20). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:At will: clairvoyance, detect thoughts, levitate, mage hand, mind sliver (See Actions), Tasha's Mind Whip3/day each: banishment, bigby's hand, confusion, fear, scrying, telekinesis1/day each: dominate monster, feeblemind, time stopPsychic Link. The god brain targets one incapacitated creature it can perceive with its Creature Sense trait and establishes a psychic link with that creature. Until the psychic link ends, the god brain can perceive everything the target senses. The target becomes aware that something is linked to its mind once it is no longer incapacitated, and the god brain can terminate the link at any time (no action required). The target can use an action on its turn to attempt to break the psychic link, doing so with a successful DC 18 Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, the target takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage. The psychic link also ends if the target and the god brain are more than 10 miles apart, with no consequences to the target. The god brain can form psychic links with up to ten creatures at a time.Sense Thoughts. The god brain targets a creature with which it has a psychic link. The god brain gains insight into the target’s reasoning, its emotional state, and thoughts that loom large in its mind (including things the target worries about, loves, or hates). The god brain can also make a Charisma (Deception) check with advantage to deceive the target’s mind into thinking it believes one idea or feels a particular emotion. The target contests this attempt with a Wisdom (Insight) check. If the god brain succeeds, the mind believes the deception for 1 hour or until evidence of the lie is presented to the target.LEGENDARY ACTIONSThe god brain can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. It can use one legendary action option at the end of another creatures turn and any unused legendary actions at the end of the round.
