Spellcasting. Innate Spellcasting. Baphine's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 19). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
- At will: Detect Thoughts, Charm Person
- 3/day each: Major Image, Modify Memory, Hallucinatory Terrain, Phantasmal Killer
- 1/day each: Mislead, Programmed Illusion, Feeblemind, Mind Blank
Illusions Manifest. Baphine can make her illusions real. When she casts any spell that creates an illusion, objects and creatures in the illusion become real for 1 minute. Any damage they deal is real, and any damage they take is also real. Her illusionary creatures have an AC 18 and 30 HP.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day.) If Baphine fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.
Bonus Actions
Mind Freeze. Baphine targets one creature within 60 feet of her that she can see. The target must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by Baphine until the end of its next turn. While charmed, the target cannot move unless Baphine directs it to.
Actions
Multiattack. Baphine makes three Mind Spike attacks, replacing one with Psychic Surge, if available.
Mind Spike. Ranged Spell Attack: +11 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d8+5) psychic damage.
Psychic Surge (Recharge 5-6). Baphine releases a wave of psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Intelligence saving throw, taking 60 (12d10) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save are stunned until the end of their next turn.
Mindbend (Recharge 20). Baphine exerts her full power. All creatures within 1 mile of Baphine must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by Baphine. Baphine can designate any number of creatures to automatically succeed on this saving throw. While charmed, a creature is incapacitated. It can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Baphine must concentrate on this ability as though it were a spell. If she uses her action to do anything else, the effect ends.
Legendary Actions
Baphine can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Baphine regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.
- Psychic Assault. Baphine uses her Mind Spike.
- Puppeteer. One creature charmed by Baphine must use its reaction to move its full movement as Baphine directs. This does not provoke opportunity attacks.
- Madness Twist (Costs 2 Actions). A creature Baphine can see within 60 feet must make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is affected by the Insanity spell for 1 minute, becoming frightened and suffering from short-term madness (roll a d100 to determine the effect). The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
