<p>Cognitogaunt page made.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{version034}}<br /> {{list of|ghouls}}<br /> {{monster info|cognitogaunt}}<br /> <br /> ==Useful Info==<br /> '''Cognitogaunts''' are psychic starborne ghouls found in [[the Crypt]] and [[the Abyss]], mostly threatening for mages and undrinking characters both. They have an extremely high cast rate for [[Brain Bite]], spending 38% of their actions dealing irresistable half-smites of damage and draining your mp heavily. In melee, their branded melee attacks both confuse and check rN- their pain-branded touch can deal up to 28 AC-ignoring damage to those without any [[negative energy]] resistance.<br /> <br /> {{monster spells}}<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *While they've got much less rapid capacity to drain magic compared to [[ghost moth]]s, they're frequent enough that one can expect to randomly lose some MP fighting through the Crypt, leaving one with little magic to cast e.g. [[Dispel Undead]]. Ally spells and long-range high-level [[Conjurations]] can kill them fast enough to still preserve some mp.<br /> *Frailer characters or characters with high AC and low EV intending to melee them can wear at least one source of rN to avoid their additional AC-ignoring pain damage.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Cognitogaunts were added in 0.34.</div>
