Your transformation into a mind flayer is complete. Four tentacles surround your mouth, your head elongates, and your skin becomes purple and slick with mucus.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Psionic Energy Dice. Your shared Psionic Energy Dice from the Path of Ceremorphosis become d10s. If they're already d10s, they instead become d12s.
Aberration. Your creature type becomes Aberration.
Illithid Specialization. Choose one of the following benefits:
Brain-Seeking Tentacles. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can choose both the Damage and Grapple options. You can expend a Psionic Energy Die to deal extra Psychic damage equal to its roll plus your Intelligence modifier. The target also subtracts half the roll, rounded up, from its saving throw to avoid the Grappled condition. If this benefit reduces the target to 0 Hit Points, you don't expend the die. You can use this benefit only once per turn.
Mind Flayer Spells. You always have Detect Thoughts, Levitate, and Mind Blast prepared, using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability for them. You can cast these spells by expending a Psionic Energy Die instead of a spell slot, or by using a spell slot of the appropriate level.
