Obstacle Removal (1+ Cursed Energy) As an action, Ganesha is able to remove an object that is standing in its way. The cost of this feature depends on the size of what Ganesha is attempting to remove. The costs can be found in the following table:
Whenever Ganesha removes an object, it is teleported out of its way. When you use this feature to remove a structure or object, you must choose a point within 600 feet of where it originally was located to reappear. In order to remove large structures, Ganesha must use an action for every turn in a minute. It may spend additional actions each turn to lower the amount of time needed, with every action spent reducing the time by 6 seconds or 1 round. If Ganesha completes the full minute of actions, then it can spend the corresponding cursed energy to remove the structure:
Ganesha must maintain concentration during the minute it is using this feature. Also, when removing a structure, it is teleported in the same way as objects detailed above. Ganesha is also able to spend more time in order to lower the amount of cursed energy needed. It may spend an additional minute worth of actions when using this feature. For every extra minute added the cost is reduced by 5 cursed energy. It must also maintain concentration during these extra minutes. Creature Removal (1+ Cursed Energy) As an action, Ganesha can force up to 9 creatures within a 400 foot radius of itself to make a DC 27 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, each creature is removed and teleported 600 feet away. On a success, they are not affected. The cursed energy cost can be found below:
Condition Removal (8 Cursed Energy). As an action, Ganesha can remove a condition affecting itself or another creature within 60 feet of itself. Technique Removal (12 Cursed Energy) As a full turn action, Ganesha may attempt to entangle concepts into a creature’s technique. One creature within a 400 foot radius of its choice, must make a DC 27 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the target’s innate technique is removed for 2 minute. On a success, they are unaffected. Creatures can repeat the Charisma saving throw at the beginning of their turns to regain their innate technique. Complicated techniques that have concepts that cannot be contained semantically or pragmatically, such as Star Rage, cannot be removed. What techniques that are too complicated to be removed are determined by the DM. Unfortunately, manipulating concepts is a process that is incredibly intensive on the brain. At the end of Ganesha’s turns while Technique Removal is active, it must make an Arcana check with advantage against a DC of the respective creature’s level or CR. For every check that it fails, it takes xd6 Psychic damage. X=that respective creature’s level or CR. This damage dealt to it ignores Resistance, Immunity, and cannot be reduced in any way.

This dodge only works against Melee Attacks, and if a creature rolls a Nat 1 on a melee attack against it, it may make 1 Melee attack against a creature within range. Defensive Removal.
