[Mind-Affecting]
| Class: | Vizier |
| Chakra: | Belt |
| Saving Throw: | Will negates |
This argent veil guards the body by devouring the mind of its wearer’s foes.
This protective veil is capable of converting akashic energy into disruptive psionic bursts that trace esoteric effects back to their source. Whenever you are directly targeted by a magical spell or esoteric effect, you may spend an attack of opportunity to activate this veil’s power. The caster of the spell must succeed on a Will save or suffer a 1d4 penalty to their Intelligence score. This veil has no effect on spells that affect the veilweaver without specifically targeting them (such as a fireball or burning hands spell), and the target’s Intelligence score cannot drop below 1.
Essence
Each point of essence invested in this ability increases the penalty to Intelligence by 1.
Chakra Bind (Belt)
Binding this veil to your Belt chakra allows you to damage the attacker’s mind, and throw it into total disarray. Whenever a target fails their Will save and takes an Intelligence penalty due to this veil’s ability, they also become confused for a number of rounds equal to your veilweaving modifier plus the amount of essence invested in this veil. A confused target must roll on the following table at the start of each turn to determine their actions:
| d% | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 01-25 | Act normally |
| 26-50 | Drop all held items |
| 51-75 | Attempt to grapple nearest ally, believing they are a childhood pet or companion wandering into danger. |
| 76-100 | Attack nearest creature with held item or unarmed strike (not including subject’s own familiar). |
