Watcher

A watcher can attempt a Jandelay Lore check to Recall Knowledge about any world that has been destroyed or is on the precipice of destruction.

A watcher can't speak aloud and must use writing, telepathy, or other methods to communicate.

A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

This monster can see in all directions simultaneously and therefore can't be flanked.

This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.

Despite their size, a watcher's role as an uninvolved observer of the Great Beyond causes most creatures to overlook and ignore them. A watcher is always undetected, and a creature must deliberately Seek to perceive them unless it succeeds at a DC 45 will saving throw to perceive the watcher (usually as a free action at the start of an encounter). The watcher is automatically perceived by a creature they interact with, such as by attacking the creature or targeting it with a spell or effect.

Whenever a watcher's teleportation effect is counteracted as it's being activated, they become Stunned 1.

The watcher spends 10 minutes erecting a glowing spire of pale yellow energy, marking an important site destined for an apocalypse for collection and preservation in the Apocalypse Archive. Whenever a watcher uses a teleportation effect to reach a Beacon of Jandelay, they don't need a locus and always arrive on target. A watcher can create a Beacon of Jandelay even while Out of Phase. If the watcher creates a new beacon, any previous Beacon of Jandelay they created vanishes.

Although a watcher isn't a mythic creature, when they cast Freedom or Imprisonment, they attempt Occultism checks at mythic proficiency, and roll those checks twice and take the better of the two results.

Frequency once per day Effect The watcher shifts themself out to desynchronize with reality, allowing them to observe a world without becoming caught in the world's events (including any apocalypses). While Out of Phase, the watcher is invulnerable to all damage and can't be targeted or affected by anything for 1 round, but they can't cast spells, activate items, or use actions that have the attack or manipulate trait. A watcher can Sustain this activity as long as they wish and automatically phases back in at the end of a turn in which they don't do so. A watcher can also Dismiss this activity as free action at the beginning of their turn.

Frequency once per round Trigger The watcher's last action was to damage a creature with their talon Strike Effect The creature's body grows numb, and it loses control of its muscles, entering a form of temporal hibernation. The creature must attempt a DC 45 will save. Critical Success The creature is unaffected. Success The creature is Slowed 1 for 1 round. Failure The creature is slowed 1 with an unlimited duration and must attempt a DC 45 will save at the end of each of its turns. On a failed save, its slowed condition value increases by 1 (or by 2 on a critical failure). A successful save reduces the slowed condition value by 1 (or by 2 on a critical success); the effect ends if this reduces the value to 0. A creature unable to act due to the slowed condition from Torn from Time becomes permanently Paralyzed and enters a state of suspended animation in which they don't age or require food or drink. A creature in this form of stasis remains aware of its surroundings and the passage of time, and if left in this state long enough, it might suffer extensive mental trauma at the GM's discretion. Critical Failure As failure, but the creature is initially Slowed 2.
