Psychonaut
From Garamondia’s Optical Dungeon
Immaterial psychic beings traveling the physical word in porcelain suits. A curious walking psychic apocalypse. Lonely, curious, insane. Disposition of an astronaut on an alien world. A medium horror.
Something with disturbingly human proportions that crawled up from the centre of the earth centuries ago. It is encased head-to-toe in delicate, pale, ceramic armour.

The psychonaut is protected by a completely sealed armor. While the armor is intact, the psychonaut is immune to damage. Instead, every time it is hit, its armor chips and is reduced by 1 and is destroyed if it reaches 0.
While the armor is broken, the psychonaut is immune to physical damage, but loses 1D4 HP per round.
The psychonaut projects a terrible aura that stuns every living creature within 30’ of it. A creature can make a strength save at the beginning of its turn to be dazed this turn instead.
Attacks (1/round)
Psychic Crush. Every creature in the psychonaut’s aura takes 1D8 mind damage.
