Echopsyvne

Backward Speakers — When a palinthanos vocalizes, the sounds it creates are reversed. For the egarhowl, this only results in unnerving backwards sounds of angry roars and bestial noises, but for those who can speak, it makes understanding them difficult. A palinthanos has no difficulty understanding any language it can speak, but when it speaks, listeners must succeed at a DC 30 Perception check made as a free action with the concentrate trait each round to quickly decipher the reversed conversation. This prevents a palinthanos from being able to easily utilize linguistic actions.

Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.

Distort Perception (incapacitation, mental, occult) — Frequency once per round
Effect The echopsyvne targets a creature it can see within 30 feet and alters its perception of time. The target must attempt a DC 40 Will save. Regardless of success or failure, the creature then becomes temporarily immune to this ability for 24 hours.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature perceives time to flow backward briefly and becomes Slowed 1 for 1 round.

Failure Time flows backward for the creature, leaving them unable to interact with the world around them. The creature is Stunned 3, after which it is slowed 1 for 1 round.

Critical Failure The creature's mind becomes stuck in a time loop, and it becomes Paralyzed by the disorienting sight for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, it can attempt a new Will save to reduce the remaining duration by 1 round or end it entirely on a critical success.

Predestined Defeat (occult) —

Reaction Reversal — Since an echopsyvne appears to move backwards in time and the results of its actions manifest slightly out of sync, its manipulate or move actions and Strikes don't trigger reactions normally. Whenever a reaction would be triggered by an echopsyvne in this way, the reacting creature must attempt a DC 11 Flat. On a failure, their reaction does not trigger.

Temporal Possession — When the echopsyvne casts possession on a creature, that creature experiences time backward. When the echopsyvne controls the target, they function normally, but when the target takes their own actions while the echopsyvne is in partial control or riding along in their body, they become Clumsy 3 and take a –10-foot status penalty to all of their Speeds. When the echopsyvne stops possessing the target, willingly or otherwise, the target must succeed at a DC 37 Will save or be Stunned 1 as they readjust to a more familiar flow of time.
