Deadly Gardens
to act against its nature. This is a mind-affecting effect.
The save DC is Charisma-based.
Ego Transfer (Su) A hypno-lotus adds its Charisma
modifier to its Will saving throws (+4 for a typical
hypno-lotus). A creature affected by its aura of
mesmerizing petals adds this bonus to its Will saving
throws except against the hypno-lotus’ abilities.
Inception Vulnerability (Ex) A hypno-lotus’ psychic
nature leaves it vulnerable to mental attacks. Mindaffecting abilities can affect a hypno-blossom, but
it has a 50% chance to ignore the effect each round.
This doesn’t end the effect, but it does allow it to act
normally for that round.
Sinister Pattern (Su) A hypno-lotus can choose a
creature within 30 feet that can see it and display
wicked symbols to that creature that invade its mind.
The creature must succeed at a DC 19 Will saving
throw, or use its next standard action to attack itself
to the best of its ability. This is a mind-affecting effect.
The save DC is Charisma-based.
Thrall Telepathy (Su) A hypno-lotus can telepathically
and wordlessly communicate
with a creature affected by its
aura of mesmerizing petals at any
distance as long as they are both
on the same plane.

STATISTICS
Hypno-lotus grow in highly
populated areas full of potential
psychic thralls. Using its enticing
flowers,
a
hypno-blossom
collects a mass of caretakers to
serve its needs. These followers
vary, ranging from wellmeaning botanists to cult-like
devotees. The social nature of
these groups of thralls ensures
that even those who break from
the hypno-lotus’ control are
frequently re-exposed to its
psychic influence.
A hypno-lotus uses its psychic
thralls to secure a safe and
often hidden home where it can
flourish under the attentions of
its hypnotized attendants. Often
its needs are simple, and can be
met with minimal disruption to its thralls’ daily lives.
Most hypno-lotus crave more luxurious lifestyles
though, taking more and more of their thralls’ time,
energy, and wealth, demanding of them doting
affection and servitude that rivals royalty.
A typical hypno-blossom is 6 feet tall and weighs
80 pounds. Mulch Stalker
