p y n - g o k & t ’a r t y s

The Psionic Bestiary project began with a contest

started to find new authors interested in working on

psionic content, particularly on psionic monsters.

This bestiary is the culmination of that project.

Pyn-gok

psIonIC BEstIary

pyn-gok

Slightly taller than an elf, this regal avian humanoid

most closely resembles a peacock (down to its coloration

and large, fan-like tail). Although frail looking, it wields a

polearm with ease and grace.

whirling polearm defense

The secluded open-air cities of the pyn-gok (PIN-GOCK)

have a calm, contemplative aura about them. Though

fierce warriors when roused to battle, the pyn-gok

prefer the quiet serenity of meditation, and stimulating

exercises to keep mind and body healthy. Not surprisingly

their cities have several flocks or gatherings of peacocks

strutting about. Although they live in seclusion in the deep

jungles or rain forests, the pyn-gok are a cosmopolitan

people, valuing the arts and intellectual pursuits as

much as martial practices. Exceptional pyn-gok often

train in either monk or psychic warrior classes (choosing

the warrior’s paths of ascetic or weaponmaster almost

exclusively).

A pyn-gok fights defensively as long as it is able, taking its

opponent’s measure, gauging its strengths and evaluating

its weaknesses. Once it has determined those factors it

strikes hard and fast; those vulnerable to mind-affecting

effects will be struck with its id insinuation

psi-like ability (it flairs out its colorful fan-

like tail, in addition to the chime-like sound

of its auditory manifestation). Opponents

that have weak defenses will be struck with

a powerful halberd attack (augmented with

Psionic Weapon

A pyn-gok will withdraw from a battle if it

is reduced to half its hit points, taking flight

if possible.

Whirling polearm Defense (Ex)

A pyn-gok is especially skilled at

wielding polearms, so much so,

that it gains a +1 shield bonus

to its armor class. If it uses

a full attack action to fight

defensively the shield bonus

increases to +2.

The skin of this small humanoid has a pearlescent quality,

shimmering faintly in the light.

spECIaL aBILItIEs

Discordant Wave (su)

As a standard action a t’artys can

produce a wave effect that spreads out to a radius of 30

feet, enveloping all targets within range. Humanoid

creatures within the radius that fail a DC 15 Will save

begin arguing and shouting with one another, making

communication difficult and casting spells or

manifesting powers next to impossible (affected

creatures must make a concentration check with a DC

of 20 + the spell or power level to cast spells or manifest

powers). The arguing and shouting lasts for 5 rounds,

during which time the t’artys is invisible. If any of the

affected humanoids within the discordant wave effect

are of different alignments, they must make a DC 15

Will save or see enemies in place of allies and attack

them. A successful Will save negates the illusion of

friends turning into foes, but the arguing continues

for the entire duration. Discordant wave is a mind-

affecting enchantment effect.

The t’artys (T-are-tis) is a psionic fey offshoot that

enjoys sowing dissention among the “big folk” of

various lands. They get perverse pleasure causing

strife and making friends into foes (if even for

a short time) as the bigger folk seem capable

of holding grudges over the smallest slights,

insults, or injuries. Woe betide the adventuring

party that wanders into t’artys lands, as these

fey will shadow and stalk them for hours and

strike when the time is best for them and

worst for the trespassers. Despite their love of

starting fights and sowing dissention, they are

still fey and enjoy pranks as well, although

their pranks tend to be a bit more deadly. A

t’artys won’t hesitate to use its psi-like or spell-

like abilities to harass and annoy its victims,

like dancing lights and ghost sound to lead

them on a merry chase (and maybe into a

monster’s lair), or coating an area ahead

with ectoplasmic sheen (especially a sloping

path) and watch the chaos of stumbling and

skidding humanoids.

Before they engage their foes they

prepare for a fight with concealing

amorpha and force screen (for concealment

and protection). During combat they use

entangling ectoplasm and telepathic lash.

Only when a t’artys is surrounded will it use

its discordant wave, enveloping as many

targets as possible. A t’artys uses the chaos

to either escape or to inflict damage with

its sneak attack, trusting its small size and

mobility to keep it safe from retribution.
