Thought Parrot

A thought parrot is a brightly colored parrot with a purple head and piercingly intelligent eyes. The thought parrot speaks by projecting words directly into the heads of creatures within 50 meters: it must be aware of a creature in order to speak to it, and can only communicate with one creature per cheap action. As a standard action, the thought parrot can forcefully project extremely inane words into the mind of a creature it can speak to: the creature must make a DC 6 Will Save or take 1d6+2 damage.

Thought parrots are moderately smart, and can speak every language.

Advancement

The Thought Parrot may be given up to three abilities, which must come from different categories, for 3 points each.

Improved Conversation (6 points): The range of the thought parrot's word projection increases by 25 meters. Immediately after receiving a message, a creature may use a cheap action to send a one-word return message to the thought parrot.

Persistent Thought (8 points): The thought parrot, can, as a cheap action, project words at a specified point within the range it can project thoughts. Any creature who intersects that point during the next hour hears those words. Also, the parrot's inane word attack repeats itself, automatically, without needing the parrot to be in range, whenever it inflicts a wound.
