Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Telepathy (aura, divination, magical)

A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.

Lifesense 60 feet

Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the positive energy animating living creatures and the negative energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.

Unnerving Presence (aura, divine, emotion, enchantment, fear, incapacitation)

30 feet Aura

---

A creature that begins its turn within the aura must attempt a DC 22 basic will save.

---

Critical Success The creature is unaffected and becomes temporarily immune to unnerving presence for 24 hours.

Success The creature's attack rolls take a -1 status penalty for 1 round.

Failure The creature feels Yianyin's eyeless gaze upon them but knows that something far more dangerous and monstrous watches them through those empty sockets. The overwhelming presence of this alien intelligence causes the creature to become Slowed 1 for 1 round as they shake and tremble with fear.

Critical Failure As failure, but the creature is instead Stunned 1 and knows the name of what watches from those empty eyes: Tchekuth.

At-Will Spells

The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.

Constant Spells

A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

+1 Status to All Saves vs. MagicCompel Condemned (divine, enchantment, incapacitation, mental)

Yianyin telepathically compels a creature within 30 feet to approach and allow Yianyin to kiss them, in preparation for using Kiss of Death. The target must attempt a DC 25 will save.

Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to Compel Condemned for 24 hours.

Failure The creature must spend each of its actions to move closer to Yianyin as quickly as possible, while avoiding obvious dangers. If the compelled creature is adjacent to Yianyin, it stays still and doesn't act. If the creature takes any damage, the effect ends and the creature is temporarily immune to Compel Condemned for 24 hours. This effect lasts for 1 round, but if Yianyin uses this ability again on subsequent rounds, it extend the duration by 1 round for all affected creatures.

Critical Failure As failure, but damage does not end the effect.

Corrupted Touch

Yianyin's Strikes deal 2d6 negative damage to living creatures. A creature critically hit by Yianyin's Strike must attempt a DC 18 fortitude save or become Drained 1 (Drained 2 on a critical failure) as rot spreads throughout their flesh.

Kiss of Death (death, divine, manipulate, necromancy)

Yianyin gives a long, passionate kiss to an Unconscious or willing creature, dealing 4d6 negative damage.

Any creature damaged by Yianyin's Kiss of Death for 3 consecutive rounds becomes unconscious and is Dying 1.
