SPECIAL ABILITIES

Leaching Gaze (Su)

When opened, a hegessik’s third eye produces a powerful gaze attack with a 30-foot range. A creature affected by this attack takes 1d3 points of Wisdom damage unless it succeeds at a DC 24 Will save. Proteans are immune to this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Maddening Whispers (Su)

A mind-bending susurrus of voices and false perceptions infuses reality in close proximity to a hegessik protean. Any creature within the range of the protean’s aura must succeed at a DC 24 Will save or be confused for 1 round. A creature with a chaotic component to its alignment gains a +4 bonus on this save, and creatures with the chaotic subtype are immune. This is a mind-affecting effect, and the save DC is Charisma-based.

Telekinetic Reach (Su)

Every 1d4 rounds, a hegessik protean can take a full-round action to make all of its natural attacks as a flurry of telekinetic force with a range of 60 feet. Such attack rolls take a –5 penalty when made at a distance of up to 30 feet, and a –10 penalty when made at a distance of 31–60 feet. A hegessik protean must have line of effect to a target in order to use this ability.

A hegessik can’t use its grab or warpwave ability with attacks made using this ability.
