Reactions

• Appeal to the Fervent. When a creature psychophant can see targets it with attack psychophant calls for aid from its followers switching places with friendly creature within 5 ft. of it. Friendly creature becomes target of the attack instead.

Special abilities

• Impenetrable Ego. While it is conscious and wearing no armor and wielding no shield it adds its Cha modifier to its AC (included above) and saves. Advantage on saves vs. being charmed or frightened.
