Broadcast Stance ◆ (mental, occult, stance) Requirements the gosreg is in its natural form

Effect The gosreg secures its limbs into the ground as its brain-like head crackles with psychic energy. The gosreg's unsettled aura extends to 60 feet, and it blocks all other creatures' telepathy in the aura. Its Mind Bolt can also affect any number of targets in 60 feet. These effects end when the gosreg uses its claw Strike, leaves its space, or is knocked Prone.

Change Shape ◆ (concentrate, occult, polymorph) The gosreg takes on the appearance of any Small or Medium humanoid. This doesn't change its Speed or attack and damage modifiers with its claw, but it might change the damage type it deals (typically to bludgeoning). It cannot use its jaws Strike while in humanoid form.

Mind Bolt ◆◆ (mental, occult) A gosreg concentrates its field of discordant mental energy and projects it into the mind of one creature within 60 feet. The target takes 6d6 mental damage (DC 30 basic Will save). On a critical failure, the creature is also Confused for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
