POLLUX PUPPETEER

This small purple slug is surgically inserted in the host’s gut. The symbiont extends tendrils throughout the host’s body allowing it to further extent its tendrils through the host’s skin. 

The Pollux puppeteer permanently drains 5 points of stamina from the host.  The host gains the following abilities from the symbiont;

Empathic Connection (SU) The host reaches out with the symbiont’s mind, finding the emotional strings that most apply to its target. With delicate influences, the host twists those emotional strings, making the target view the host as a friend (treat the target’s attitude as friendly). Otherwise the effect of this ability mimic the charm person spell, (CL 1, DC = 10 + ½ host’s level).

Enthrall (Ex) Host possessing this symbiont often seek to charm victims first and then “ask” their victim to come to them.  If the host is in physical contact with a person it has charmed by empathic connection (the symbiont establishes a physical hold by means of slender infiltrating tendrils), the subject acts as if dominated, per domination spell.  Once the host makes contact with the victim there is no saving throw against this domination, even if the victim is forced to take actions that would normally be against their will.  The victim still cannot be forced to take their own life.

Mental Barrier (SU) the symbiont produces a barrier of mental energy granting the host a +2 to their EAC and KAC.  In addition, the host only takes half damage from mind thrust attacks (reduced to one-quarter on a successful INT save).
