A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.

+1 to All Saves vs. MagicExorcism Vulnerability

If an invidiak attempts to possess a creature and the creature rolls a critical success on its saving throw to resist Possession, or if an invidiak's possession of a creature is ended prematurely, such as via a successful Dispel Magic, the invidiak takes 6d6 mental damage and cannot use possession for 24 hours.

Favored Host

Each invidiak has a particular type of creature they prefer possessing, chosen from the following list:

In most cases, the favored type of target is human. When an invidiak uses Possession against a favored host, the duration of possession increases to unlimited, and the effect lasts until dispelled or until the invidiak dismisses it.

Shadow Blend Two Actions (divine, illusion)

The invidiak Strides up to twice their speed. If the invidiak ends their movement in an area of dim light, they become Hidden as long as they don't move and the lighting in the area they're in doesn't grow brighter than dim light.

Unbodied Possession

An invidiak leaves no body behind when using Possession.

Rituals

Abyssal Pact

For most demons, possessing a creature requires a ritual, magic item, or condition, but for invidiaks, who lack a body, possession is akin to donning a suit of clothing. Known also as shadow demons, invidiaks are formed from envious mortal souls.

Traits

Common

Anything that doesn't list another rarity trait (uncommon, rare, or unique) automatically has the common trait. This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.

Demon

A family of fiends, demons hail from or trace their origins to the Outer Rifts. Most are irredeemably unholy and have darkvision and weaknesses to cold iron and holy.

Fiend

Creatures that hail from or have a strong connection to the unholy planes are called fiends. Fiends can survive the basic environmental effects of planes in the Outer Sphere.

Incorporeal

An incorporeal creature or object has no physical form. It can pass through solid objects, including walls. When inside an object, an incorporeal creature can't perceive, attack, or interact with anything outside the object, and if it starts its turn in an object, it is slowed 1 until the end of its turn. A corporeal and an incorporeal creature can pass through one another, but they can't end their movement in each other's space. An incorporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against physical creatures or objects—only against incorporeal ones—unless those objects have the ghost touch property rune. Likewise, a corporeal creature can't attempt Strength-based checks against incorporeal creatures or objects. Incorporeal creatures usually have immunity to effects or conditions that require a physical body, like disease, poison, and precision damage. They usually have resistance against all damage (except force damage, spirit damage, and damage from Strikes with the ghost touch property rune), with double the resistance against non-magical damage.

Unholy

Effects with the unholy trait are tied to powerful magical forces of cruelty and sin. They often have stronger effects on holy creatures. Creatures with this trait are strongly devoted to unholy causes, and often have weakness to holy. If a creature with weakness to unholy uses an unholy item or effect, it takes damage from its weakness.
