Special Abilities

Mind Swap Mastery (Su) When a yithian casts mind swap, the duration is permanent (D). The yithian takes its senses and defensive abilities with it to a new body and doesn’t gain the awkward trait. In addition, when the yithian returns to its own body, the mind swap target must succeed at a DC 20 Will saving throw or forget being in the yithian’s body.
