New Madness Featured in Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition

Check out the Psychic Passenger, a new madness tormenting your players in our upcoming Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.

The Psychic Passenger. An alien consciousness shares your body and mental faculties, sometimes controlling your actions. The psychic passenger might be a projected spy such as a yithian, a surviving echo of a dead creature’s departing soul, a fragment of a Great Old One’s mind intruding upon your own, or something even stranger.

You and the GM should develop the psychic passenger’s personality together, although you might ask the GM to keep some details a surprise (within your personal boundaries). The psychic passenger uses your statistics, except that it takes the status penalty from the madness’s stage to all Will saves.

New Yithian Featured in Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition

 
Check out the Past Yithian Sage, an aberration from the time-traveling Great Race of Yith in our upcoming Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.

Past Yithian Sage: Most explorers encountered outside the home time of the past yithians are sages, who primarily search for institutional, cultural, and technological innovations they can study and record for the great race to learn from.

When encountered outside their own time, they are generally using Swap Mind and controlling another creature’s body rather than their own.

Transport to Yondo
Traditions: arcane, divine, occult / Cast: somatic, verbal / Range: touch / Targets: 1 creature

You send the target to the alien desert of Yondo. The target must attempt a Will save, avoiding the effect on a success. On a failure, it is transported to Yondo. At the start of each of the creature’s turns in Yondo, it must succeed at a Fortitude save or shrivel. If the creature shrivels, it shrinks by one size. Shrinking reduces its reach by 5 feet if it was originally any size other than Medium.

The creature’s equipment doesn’t change size with it, and if it was wearing clothing or wielding items, the sudden ill fit makes the creature encumbered. The target’s skin feels dry and it can attempt a new save to end the shriveling if it ends its turn immersed in water. The shriveling lasts 1 minute, or indefinitely on a critical failure.

At the end of each of the target’s turns in Yondo, it must attempt another Will save. On a success, it returns to the space it left, or the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. If the duration ends while it is in Yondo, it instantly returns.
