• All damage immunities of enemies within the aura are negated.

Magic Resistance. The Illithid has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Multiattack. The Illithid makes two Tentacle attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of a Psionic Discipline.

Void Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 57 (4d10 + 9) force damage plus 22 (4d6 + 8) psychic damage. (Note: Calculation accounts for Voidwoken Auto-Crit/Max Damage). The target is grappled (escape DC 25) and must succeed on a DC 25 Intelligence saving throw or be stunned until this grapple ends.

Extract Brain. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated humanoid grappled by the Illithid. Hit: 115 (10d10 + 9) piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the Illithid kills the target by extracting and devouring its brain.

Psionic Talents (At Will/0 Psi Points).

• Mind Thrust: Target one creature within 120 ft. Hit: 22 (4d10) psychic damage.

• Mystic Charm: One creature within 120 ft must succeed on a DC 25 Wisdom save or be charmed until the end of its next turn.

Psionic Disciplines (Psi Limit 7). The Illithid can spend Psi Points to activate the following disciplines (Save DC 25, +17 to hit):

• Telepathic Contact (Order of the Awakened):

  • Broken Will (5 psi): Target one creature within 120 ft. Target must make a INT save. On a fail, it is charmed and follows the Illithid's telepathic commands (as Dominate Monster) for 10 minutes. Concentration.

• Mastery of Force (Wu Jen/General):

  • Crush (7 psi): The Illithid creates a crushing void around a target within 60 ft. The target makes a STR save. On a fail, it takes 55 (10d10) force damage and is restrained.

  • Inertial Armor (2 psi): As a reaction, the Illithid gains resistance to force damage and does not provoke opportunity attacks until the start of its next turn.

• Precognition (Order of the Awakened):

  • Precognitive Hunch (2 psi): As a bonus action, gain advantage on the next attack roll, saving throw, or ability check.

  • All-Around Sight (3 psi): For 1 hour, the Illithid cannot be flanked and attackers do not gain advantage on attacks against it.

Mystic Recovery. Immediately after spending Psi Points on a psionic discipline, Illithid can use a bonus action to regain hit points (or gain temporary hit points) equal to the number of Psi Points spent.

Void Step (Nomadic Step). Illithid spends 1 Psi Point to teleport to an unoccupied space she can see within 30 feet. She can bring one willing creature within 5 feet of her along.

Precognitive Hunch. Illithid spends 2 Psi Points to peer into the immediate future. She gains advantage on her next attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made before the end of her next turn.

Tactical Mandate (Avatar's Will). Illithid spends 1 to 7 Psi Points to telepathically command an ally within 120 feet to act. That ally can use its reaction to immediately move up to its speed or make one weapon attack. IfIllithid spends 5 or more points, the ally has advantage on the attack roll.

Abyssal Shift (Shapechanger). As a bonus action, Illithid can assume the form of a specific medium humanoid or her true hybrid form. Her statistics are the same in each form, except for her size and speed capabilities (which appear normal for the humanoid form until she reveals her power).

Psionic Shield (1-7 Psi Points). When hit by an attack, the Illithid can spend up to 7 Psi Points to increase its AC by +1 per point spent for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss.

Void Retaliation. When a creature within 120 feet hits the Illithid with an attack, the Illithid forces the attacker to make a DC 25 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the attacker takes 22 (4d10) psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn.
