ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist Bk3 Question RE: Book Main Villain's Abilities (Very Spoiler-y) [Pf]

[Root7OneOne]

Again, warning to any players who haven't played this book, don't read further.



Sijhen's stat block includes the ability Mind Grasp, which allows him to Dominate one creature at a time. During the course of the book, Sijhen is frequently described as struggling for control of Xambria's mind, but it is never mentioned explicitly what exactly he's doing. Is he using this ability to control Xambria, and therefor will not use it in battle against the PCs? Or is this ability separate from whatever it is he's using to control Xambria?

By the end of that adventure, Sijhen basically has full control over her, having broken her will. Only once her body is knocked out (or killed) will Sijhen stop maintaining control of her.

 

[Root7OneOne]

Ok, you say "has full control" but that doesn't really clarify whether or not he's using his Mind Grasp to do the controlling, or she's under his control by virtue of being possessed. Sorry, I'm just trying to be super clear about whether or not Sijhen is going to use a DC20 dominate ability on a PC or a guard or something interesting during these important final fights.

 

[RangerWickett]

Yeah, Xambria's body does what he wants it to do without him needing to use any of his abilities, freeing him up to use those abilities against the PCs.

Great, thanks or the clarification. Have a good day!
