desc: " (aura,magical) A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would."
- name: "[[Bestiary Ability Glossary/Constant Spells|Constant Spells]]"
desc: " A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires."

- name: "[[Bestiary Ability Glossary/Regeneration|Regeneration 40 (Deactivated by Chaotic, Mental or Orichalcum)]]"
desc: " This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its [[Conditions/Dying|Dying]] condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4."

They attempt to [[Actions/Demoralize|Demoralize]] that target, ignoring the typical limitations on distance and with no penalty for not sharing a language with the target. They then Stride and attempt one Athletics attack action (such as [[Actions/Grapple|Grapple]] or [[Actions/Disarm|Disarm]]) against the target."

On a failure, the target's attacks against the triumph siktempora also become nonlethal until the end of the target's next turn."
name: Triumph Siktempora
creatures:
- 1: Triumph SiktemporaTriumph siktemporas embody the emotional satisfaction of overcoming a task that took up much of a creature’s mind, be it taking an apple seed from between one’s teeth or winning a war. They exult in every victory they attain; however, they value only those successes won fairly not only abiding by the established rules of a competition but also enforcing those rules mercilessly upon other competitors.
These siktemporas appear as small humanoids with four muscular arms and digitigrade legs. They take great joy in draping themselves in golden clothes and medals that commemorate the countless victories which spawned them, and their faces bear proud, dazzling smiles and expressions of success-but these features never move.
In the Dimension of Time, intense emotions are more than just ethereal feelings. They accumulate over time, from things like the critical mass of emotion caused by a historic event or a settlement passing down a powerful sentiment for generations. These accretions eventually give birth to siktemporas. Each siktempora feels, with all their being, a singular intense emotion linked to the circumstances that spawned them. A rare few, however, are created when an emotionally invested creature attempts to travel to the Dimension of Time or interferes with the flow of time, which can create paradoxes or manipulate past events.
Siktemporas usually isolate themselves on the Dimension of Time in mindscapes infused with the emotion that created them, but some travel to other planes. These wanderers long to indulge in more of their core emotion or to engender more of that feeling, thus perpetuating their own kind.
