Homebrew Cerenome Species Details

Cerenomes are born from a complex arcane ritual that transforms an intellect devourer’s brain. This procedure infuses the brain with potent magic, enhancing its psychic abilities. Encased in a transparent helm filled with a special sustaining liquid, these brains become the core of Cerenome beings. This unique creation process results in a race known for their profound mental capabilities, telepathic communication, and insights into arcane mysteries.

Age. Cerenomes experience the passage of time differently due to their unique nature. The bodies they inhabit can last anywhere from 140 to 200 years before succumbing to decay, even under the Cerenome's influence. A Cerenome's brain, when properly preserved, can potentially live indefinitely.

Size. The size of a Cerenome can vary from Small to Medium, depending on the size of the corpse to which it is attached.

At 5 level, you can cast the telekinesis spell once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
