Force Blast: Doctor Bedlam’s force blasts have a range of 200 feet. On a critical hit, the victim must make a Fortitude save (DC = damage dealt) or be stunned for 1d6 rounds.

Omnimind: Doctor Bedlam can change between his robotic bodies with a swift action. He has literally thousands of these bodies. Destroying a body has no effect on Bedlam’s ability to manipulate others. ghost touch weapons and other attacks that can damage incorporeal foes can harm Bedlam’s true mind-self on a critical hit. (This is an exception to the normal construct immunity) Bedlam’s mind-self possesses 90 wound points. The only other way to truly defeat Bedlam is to destroy all of his bodies. He will survive, but be incapable of affecting the corporeal world around him until he finds another construct body he can inhabit.

Sensor Array: Bedlam’s body allows him a range of scanning options. It provides a +20 bonus to Spot and Listen checks and a +5 bonus to Initiative checks. The bodies possess Darkvision (no range limit), Blindsight (30 ft.), and true seeing (90 ft.)
