The Kanohi Komau is the Mask of Mind Control.

The Kanohi Komau allows its user to see into the mind of another and control them. However, the mask cannot be used to direct someone to act against their morals, or knowingly bring themselves or others to serious or mortal harm. The Noble version cannot control beings who are as mentally strong as the user for as long a time as the Great version can. Both versions can be used to deliver mental blasts with effects that are debilitating, but not known to be lethal, to their targets. Because the mask only works on beings with minds, it is useless against robotic constructs and automata. Additionally, Rahi - particularly insects - are not as easily affected by the Komau.

A Komau Nuva is created when a destined Komau is dipped in Energized Protodermis. In addition to its standard abilities, it can produce stronger mental blasts, and its power can be shared with individuals near the user; however, it can only be used by Nuva beings.

Great

As a 2AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to choose a being within 60ft, and choose one of the following effects:

  • The chosen being suffers Xd8+WIS Psychic damage, where X is equal to twice the number of Kanohi Charges spent, and must make a WILL save (DC +0, WIS); on a successful save, they suffer only half as much damage. This effect has no duration.
  • The chosen being must make a WILL save (DC +4, CHA). On a failed save, they must obey the wearer’s suggestion (given as a part of this action) for the duration of the effect (as per the ICCD). The suggestion cannot force the target to act contrary to its nature or knowingly bring themselves or others to serious or mortal harm.

Noble

As a 2AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to choose a being within 60ft, and choose one of the following effects:

  • The chosen being suffers Xd8+WIS Psychic damage, where X is equal to the number of Kanohi Charges spent, and must make a WILL save (DC +0, WIS); on a successful save, they suffer only half as much damage. This effect has no duration.
  • The chosen being must make a WILL save (DC +2, CHA). On a failed save, they must obey the wearer’s suggestion (given as a part of this action) for the duration of the effect (as per the ICCD), though they may attempt a new save at the start of each of their turns. The suggestion cannot force the target to act contrary to its nature or knowingly bring themselves or others to serious or mortal harm.

Great Nuva

As a 2AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to choose a being within 60ft, and choose one of the following effects:

  • The chosen being must make a WILL save (DC +5, CHA). On a failed save, they must obey the wearer’s suggestion (given as a part of this action) for the duration of the effect (as per the ICCD). The suggestion cannot force the target to act contrary to its nature or knowingly bring themselves or others to serious or mortal harm.

Noble Nuva

As a 2AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to choose a being within 60ft, and choose one of the following effects:

  • The chosen being suffers Xd10+WIS Psychic damage, where X is equal to the number of Kanohi Charges spent, and must make a WILL save (DC +0, WIS); on a successful save, they suffer only half as much damage. This effect has no duration.
  • The chosen being must make a WILL save (DC +3, CHA). On a failed save, they must obey the wearer’s suggestion (given as a part of this action) for the duration of the effect (as per the ICCD), though they may attempt a new save at the start of each of their turns. The suggestion cannot force the target to act contrary to its nature or knowingly bring themselves or others to serious or mortal harm.

Three official Komau models were made by LEGO: the standard Great, standard Noble, and Hordika.

RSG has an unofficial Komau model: the standard Nuva (designed by Oomatu and crafted by Petrus and BrianK).
