ability1=Arcane Reading (Su)|ability1eff=A thought peeler who successfully uses its mindtouch or Peel Thoughts ability on an arcane spellcaster increases its effective SR by 3 against that caster for 24 hours.|

'''Special Actions''' Peel Thoughts, Psionics, Thoughtstrip<br>
-
ability2=Mindshriek (Ps)|ability2eff=A dying thought peeler sends out a psionic screech through its telepathy radius. Creatures caught in this psionic wave take 8d6 damage and are stunned for 1d4 rounds. A successful Will save (DC 20) halves the damage and negates the stunning. Previously-stunned creatures within the radius are knocked unconscious for 1 hour. The save DC is Charisma-based.|
+
'''Combat Gear''' None
-
ability3=Mindtouch (Su)|ability3eff=On a successful claw attack, the thought peeler deals 1 point of Int, Wis or Charisma damage to its target. The thought peeler must choose which ability score to damage prior to making its attack roll. The thought peeler becomes stunned for 1 round if it touches a creature with an Int score 10 or more points higher than its own.|
+
----
-
ability4=Peel Thoughts (Su)|ability4eff=As a standard action, the thought peeler can reach out to the mind of a creature within 30 feet and employ the dreaded power that has earned them their name. Tearing into the conscious mind of the target, the thought peeler rips the top layer away. The thought peeler can see the surface thoughts of its victim (as the power ''read thoughts'') and deals 2d4 points of Intelligence damage. A successful Will save (DC 22) negates the ability damage, but the thought peeler still gains a glance at the victim's mind, which it will likely try to exploit. A creature already open to having its thoughts peeled (via ''read thoughts,'' ''mind probe'' and similar effects) suffers a -2 penalty on its Will save. The save DC is Intelligence-based.|

<big>'''Post-Combat'''</big><br>
-
ability5=Psionics (Ps)|ability5eff=At will - ''detect psionics'', ''disable'' (DC 18, 7 HD limit, 35 ft. range), ''mental barrier'' (4 rounds), ''read thoughts'' (DC 16). 3/day - ''body adjustment'' (2d12 hp), ''id insinuation'' (3 targets max, DC 18), ''psionic suggestion'' (3 targets max, DC 16), ''psionic teleport'' (2 additional Medium creatures, DC 19). (1/day - ''hostile empathic transfer'' (80 pts max, DC 17), ''mind probe'' (DC 19), ''mind thrust'' (8d10, DC 18). Manifester level 8th, save DCs Int-based.|
+
'''Death:''' Mindshriek (8d6 and stun, Will DC 20 partial)<br>
-
ability6=Thoughtstrip (Su)|ability6eff=Throwing precision and care to the winds, the thought peeler sends out a mental blast to rip away conscious thoughts and prevent renewal. All creatures within a 30 ft. radius of the thought peeler (except for itself) are stunned for 3d4 rounds unless they succeed on a Will save (DC 18). Creatures with an Int score of 5 or lower automatically fail their saving throws against this ability. The save DC is Intelligence-based.|}}
