Tokens Release #207 - Mind Tyrant Vivisector
Lore
"Some Mind Tyrants view other beings not merely as potential slaves or puppets but take a deeper interest in them—presumably only to become more proficient at turning them into slaves or puppets. Armed with blades of psychoreactive crystal and a complete lack of ethics, these Vivisectors join expeditions or organize their own forays into inhabited regions above and below ground to subject the local creatures to a series of cruel experiments up close, then relay the knowledge they’ve gathered back to the Hive."
Abilities
Vivisectors add a distinct narrative layer to every mind flayer–related encounter, thanks to a clear set of abilities that convey their sadistic nature and cruel experiments at the gameplay level. In doing so, the Vivisector brilliantly puts the corruption of its people in the spotlight and—through its unique traits—further deepens the characterization of mind flayers as a whole.
The Mind Tyrant has a number of ideas and he's interested in observing other creature's reactions to it! Once it has seen enough, the creature will be swiftly relieved of its brain and its time to move on.
Tokens Tactical Guide
As always, this release comes with a tactical guide located within their bio, allowing you to run this monster almost blindly witch a few quick glances. Synergies will be decoded, interactivity revealed, and best practices disclosed.
Immersive Integration
Using our handy immersive integration feature, you can slowly prepare your players for upcoming encounters, using our suggested skill checks or just improvising your own. Each of these prompts builds up the creature, teases ability or grants boni to the players, rewarding them for doing their research.
Each creature's Journal is filled with story hooks and different narrative prompts, from foreshadowing the creature's existence to flavourful snippets to really sell the creature's appearance, combat prowess and eventual demise.
Patrons also gain access to the PDF, complete with the creature's stats as well as some playtest spells and loot, possibly to be later released as official Beneos Loot and Spells!
This Beneos Token is now available in your download list!
