Psionics (Ps): At will as a standard action, Gorilla Grodd may accomplish any of the following.

Dispel Psionics: Gorilla Grodd may make an opposed manifestor level check against the manifestor of an ongoing power. If successful, the effect ends. If unsuccessful, Grodd is stunned for 1d10 rounds.

Dominate: Range – 300 feet, target – up to 10 creatures, Will DC 30 negates. Creatures failing their Will save are under Grodd’s control for 19 days. Grodd can dominate up to 190 separate creatures in this manner.

Fear: Range 50 feet; target 5 creatures; Will DC 30 negates. Creatures failing their Will save are immediately panicked. Creatures failing their save by 10 or more points are paralyzed and helpless with fear. This condition lasts for as long as Gorilla Grodd concentrates, and for 1d4 rounds after. A Will save is allowed every round Grodd is concentrating on the effect.

Mental Crush: Range 50 feet; target 1 creature; Will DC 30 negates. Creatures failing their Will save suffer 1d4 points of ability damage to all of their mental abilities, as well as a -4 penalty to their Will saves. The penalty lasts until the ability damage is restored.

Psychic stab: Range – 300 feet; target – up to 10 creatures; damage 9d6 force (lethal or nonlethal)

Telekinesis: Range 300 feet

• –Force: Gorilla Grodd may manipulate up to 2000 pounds of objects using his telekinesis.
• –Manuever: Grodd may bull rush, disarm, grapple or trip using his telekinesis. Attack bonus is +26, ability check bonus is +13.
• –Thrust: Creatures failing a Will save (DC 30) are flung 200 feet away. 20 creatures or objects can be targeted, if all are within 10 feet of another.

Objects weighing up to 2000 pounds can be flung, requiring a ranged attack roll (+26) to hit.

Telepathy: Gorilla Grodd detects the presence of intelligent minds within 100 feet automatically. He can detect the surface thoughts of all such creatures with a swift action (Will DC 30 negates) and the deep thoughts of any single creature with a full round action (Will DC 30 negates).

Grodd can also shield himself from telepathic assaults as an immediate action, gaining a +10 bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects. While he is shielding himself, all offensive psionic attacks have their DC reduced to 15 and their effective manifester level reduced to 9.

Grodd may communicate with any intelligent creature within 1000 ft. A successful opposed Charisma check against Grodd can cut this communication off and dazes Grodd for 1d4 rounds. Grodd can attempt to use his dominate, fear, mental crush, or detect surface/deep thoughts abilities through his telepathy, however the DC is 15 and the manifester level is 9.

Rend: If Grodd hits with both slam attacks in a round, he latches on and tears the flesh, dealing an additional 2d10+30 points of damage.

Super Strength Level 2: The following benefits are provided from super strength level 2.

• +4 melee damage.
• +2 bonus on grapple/bullrush checks.
• x4 lifting capacity.
