Time Roach

This hideous insect seems perfectly still; even when walking there are no intermediate motions.

Because of their tendency to show up and wreak havoc when people cast rewind, the ignorant sometimes claim that Time Roaches are some sort of divine punishment for interfering with the natural order of time. The more astute recognize that a few Time Roaches can be very helpful when attempting to alter the past.

Time Roaches are not particularly smart, and can only speak Bug languages.

The Time Roach counts as a person capable of casting rewind for effects that care, even though it can't actually cast rewind.

Because it actually stops time whenever it moves, it can move over liquids and surfaces that cannot support its weight, although it falls if it ends an action on such a surface.

Advancement

Time Eater (20 points): When the Time Roach kills a creature, it may immediately make another attack. It gets +10 meters to its movement speeds. The Time Roach gains an Advanced Specialty.

The shadow travels along a surface, and cannot travel to surfaces that are further away than its jump distance, or to surfaces that are not illuminated by its light source. If the shadow's surface is obscured by some closer surface, it is shunted to the nearest surface, if one exists within jumping range: if none exist, it is slain. If the shadow's light source is extinguished, it is slain. The shadow cannot occupy a surface more than 100 meters from its light source or beyond its Dim light range, whichever is shorter. If the shadow touches a different light source, it can stop being attuned to its previous light source in favor of this one.

It being shunted by things that obscure it, weapon and unarmed attacks simply shift it a distance equal to the attacker's reach in the direction of the attacker's choice, without need for attack or damage rolls.

Advancement

Greater Ribcage (50 points): The Extruder gets +4 meters to reach, and its rib-growing can maintain a height of up to 4 meters. Wounded creatures take another 1d6+4 damage (Muscle included) at the beginning of each of their turns spent held in place, not only the first one. It gains two Advanced Specialties.

Wormholes (50 points): As a move action, the Extruder can create an extradimensional space with two entry points on surfaces the Extruder can visualize within 8 meters, then move half of one of its move speeds. If the Extruder imagines a surface where there isn't one, the action is wasted. The entry points are barely wide enough for the Extruder (0.6 meters). The interior of the extradimensional space is 5 meters deep, and the Volume Ratio is 100. The space is dispelled when the Extruder creates a new one. It gains two Advanced Specialties and becomes [ Purple ].

Eclipse hounds have the power to create a region of impenetrable darkness as a standard action. The region is a 20 meter radius Muscle-Area spray centered on a point within 200 meters to which the eclipse hound has line of sight. The region of darkness is completely impenetrable to light. Each round, starting immediately, the chill makes an attack (using the hound's accuracy) for 1d6+3 Cold damage (Magic Power included) to creatures and unattended objects within the region. This darkness lasts until the eclipse hound creates another one.

Advancement

Wings of Darkness (10 points): The Eclipse Hound sports perfectly black wings, which give it a 75 meter fly speed with 15 meter aerobatics distance. It gains one Advanced Specialty.

The trask's unarmed attacks deal 1d6+8 damage (Muscle included).

It can spit globs of petrified death essence that deal 1d6+7 Cold damage (Muscle included) and have a range of 40m/80m; wounds inflicted on [ Undead ] creatures by this attack heal the creature by that much instead.

The Trask's particular usage of death energies mean that at the end of each of its turns, it heals 1 HP. If its HP becomes positive, it stops being Unconscious.

Any time the Trask would be dead, it is merely unconscious instead.

Advancement

Long Range Spit (75 points): The range of the Trask's death spit attack increases to 60m/220m. The Trask gains an Advanced Specialty.

Peluda (75 points): The Trask gains a full coat of sharp quill-like hair.

As a standard action, the ghostmaster can create an illusion in a 6 meter radius Muscle-Area area anywhere it can see: this illusion lasts until the ghostmaster creates a new illusion. As a move action, the ghostmaster can move its current illusion up to 25 meters in the direction of its choice, and also animate or otherwise change the illusion for a round. If another creature moves into the area of the illusion (the illusion moving to surround the creature does not count), or begins its turn in the illusion, the ghostmaster may make a melee Magic-Damage attack against that creature for 1d6+3 Cold damage (Magic Power included). As a lesser action, the ghostmaster may create rasping or whispering voice sounds from the illusion, or the sounds of screeching or rattling chains.

If the ghostmaster's current illusion is ever more than 200 meters from itself, the illusion disappears and the ghostmaster must create a new one.

The illusion is bound to the ghostmaster. It can be an illusion of anything the Ghostmaster can imagine, can block vision, but cannot be so bright as to generate bright light out to more than 10 meters.

The ghostmaster's illusions deal 1 less damage in bright light.

As a standard action AND move action, a bone monstrosity can glow with searing light, making a ranged Magic-Damage Muscle-Area attack that deals 1d6+3 Light damage (Magic Power included) to all other creatures and unattended objects in a 400 meter spray (Muscle included). [ Undead ] creatures that would be wounded by this searing light are brought under the bone monstrosity's control for that many rounds instead.

Sound moles can only see one-quarter as far as normal due to their exceptionally poor eyesight.

Advancements

If it gets either of the following advancements, the Sound Mole becomes Paragon tier.

Displacer Beast (20 points): By speaking in a calm drone as a Standard AND Move action, the sound mole can swap positions with the contents of a region that's the same size within 60 meters. If a creature is in that space, it may make a Will Save. If any creature in the region succeeds on the Will Save, the effect is canceled; otherwise, all creatures and unattended objects in the region teleport to the sound mole's location, while the sound mole simultaneously teleports to the region. The sound mole gains an Advanced Specialty.

Brain Delver (20 points): The sound mole becomes moderately intelligent. When the sound mole successfully wounds a creature with an unarmed attack, it may force the creature to lose one class level of that creature's tier, if it has any, as well as the corresponding number of specialties and reduction in point cost.

The living idea can perceive using that creature's senses, with its own Perception. Spells that force a Will Save may target the living idea instead of the host, if the caster so desires.

If the living idea's current host comes into contact with another creature (through an unarmed attack or a melee spell that requires an attack roll, for example), the living idea can use an immediate action to force the touched creature to make a Will save. If it fails the save, the living idea is transferred to that creature.

The living idea can choose to obscure, disguise, or fabricate all sensory data about one creature from the host, and changing which creature to obscure takes a standard action. Obscuring a creature consists of making that creature undetectable. Disguising a creature consists of changing its appearance (both visual and thermosympathetic), the sounds it makes, and its scent. Fabricating a creature consists of generating a false, potentially animated image of a creature in an unoccupied location, with sound and smell as well. Any of these falsehoods may be detected as though they were bluffs.

The living idea's current host can choose to give over control of its body to the living idea, by specifying an amount of time, from 1 to 15 minutes, in advance, as a standard action. During that time, the living idea's AD, GD, Accuracy, Stealth, Perception, Magic Power, Agility, and skills are used instead of the host's own, and the host acts on the living idea's turn, using the living idea's actions.

If the living idea remains in a dead host for one hour or more, it dies.

Advancement

Voice of Insinuation (20 points): As a standard action, the Living Idea can force its host to spend a lesser action speaking a phrase of the Living Idea's choice. One creature who can hear this phrase of the Living Idea's choice must make a Will Save or have the Living Idea transfer into its mind. The Living Idea gains an Advanced Specialty.

Battlefield of the Mind (50 points): The Living Idea possesses a convex extradimensional space with no entry points, totaling 30000 cubic meters in volume. When the Living Idea would transfer itself to another host, it may instead force that new creature to teleport into the extradimensional space: the creature chooses where in the space it arrives. Any creature in this extradimensional space can teleport to an open region within 2 meters of the Living Idea's host by taking a standard action to think and succeed on a Will Save with +2 to the DC. A creature that escapes the extradimensional space in this way can't be forced back into it for 24 hours.

The Living Idea detects everything inside its extradimensional space, but cannot transfer itself to the mind of a creature in the space. If there are no creatures inside its extradimensional space, it may reshape the space with 24 hours of concentration.

The Living Idea gains two Advanced Specialties.

The basilisk has one "hand", its beak, and deals 1d6+3 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included). If it successfully wounds a creature to 0 or less health, that creature is teleported into a small extradimensional space with a microscopic entry point on one of the basilisk's scales, barely large enough to fit the creature. All of the basilisk's extradimensional spaces are bound to the basilisk. The basilisk's extradimensional spaces are filled with stone toxin instead of air: as the creature is turned to stone, the basilisk digests its essence, and when the creature in one of the spaces is completely petrified the space is dispelled.

At the beginning of each creature's turn, if that creature can see the basilisk, it must make a Will Save or be stunned for 1 round. The DC increases by 1 if less than 10 meters away.

Advancement

Force Gaze (30 points): As a standard action, the Basilisk may attempt to compel a chosen creature to look at it. The creature must be able to hear the Basilisk speak: if it does, it must pass a Will Save with -2 to the DC or spend a move action on its next turn trying to get to a place where it can see the Basilisk. The Basilisk gains another Advanced Specialty.

Majestic Wings (30 points): The Basilisk grows two chicken wings, which add +14.5 meters to its jump distance. If it takes a standard action at the beginning of its turn, it may stop in the air in mid-jump at some point during its turn. It then falls at the end of its turn. The Basilisk gains another Advanced Specialty.

Extras Big 4

The island turtle has one "hand", its beak, and deals 1d6+15 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included).

The size of the island turtle is partially derived from magics that prevent it from being affected by resize creature.

Pits and craters in its shell are ideal for the growth of dirt; by tucking its head and limbs into its shell as a move action, it can disguise itself as an island (a floating one, when viewed from underwater) with a Decent Disguise. It can't move, attack, or see until it pokes its head and limbs out again as another move action.

Creatures that touch the island turtle or objects on it must succeed on a Will Save or perceive whatever the island turtle wants them to until they stop touching the island turtle or any objects on it. The island turtle cannot make a creature perceive something neither the turtle nor the creature can imagine. If the island turtle attempts to abruptly change a creature's experience (to make its allies look like its enemies, for example), the sudden shift in perception stuns the creature for 1 round. Creatures only need to make at most one save against this effect per round, no matter how many times the island turtle touches and stops touching them.

Advancement

Fold Space (50 points): With two rounds of concentration, the Island Turtle can teleport to a place it has been to before. While concentrating in this way, voices can be heard at the target location from up to 300 meters away, speaking "it comes!" in dozens of languages. The Island Turtle also gets +25 meters to teleport speed. The Island Turtle gains an Advanced Specialty.

Voice of Banishing (50 points): As a standard action, the Island Turtle can speak a word which forces all creatures who can hear it within 300 meters to make a Will Save or be teleported 75 meters directly away from the Island Turtle. The Island Turtle gains an Advanced Specialty.

The body itself remains inside a watery extradimensional space, with only its tentacles protruding, from eight eternally open entry points. Each entry point is a 1 meter radius circle, always aligned so that the water does not pour out, with an indestructible back. The body can teleport each entry point 150 meters as a standard action. If a tentacle's purple gem is removed, its entry point closes, and the tentacle is severed, although it can act on its own.

Advancement

All Cephalopod tentacles must receive the same advancements.

Leaptopus (10 points per tentacle): When the Extradimensional Cephalopod teleports its entry points, it may teleport each entry point up to 150 meters away from the location of any other of its entry points. The tentacles receive two Advanced Specialties.

Brain Grapple (50 points): As a standard action, the Extradimensional Cephalopod Body can force each other creature within its extradimensional space to make a Will save or have the Extradimensional Cephalopod control every word the creature sees, hears, or speaks (the Extradimensional Cephalopod senses each word and may choose alterations immediately). This is a bound effect, and the Extradimensional Cephalopod can only have six creatures bound in this way at a time. The body gains two Advanced Specialties.

As a standard action, the Multiplicity Golem can, for each extant instance of itself, create another instance of itself within 2 meters of that instance. As a move action, the Multiplicity Golem can remove any number of instances of itself less than all of them. All instances share a single HP value, Will-based effects, spell effects, diseases and poisons, but anything which moves an instance moves only that instance. The Multiplicity Golem has only one set of actions with which to act from any of its instances, but if it takes an action that includes movement, all instances may move using the chosen movement speed up to the specified distance.

All of the Multiplicity Golem's instances have the same equipment. If any instance of the Multiplicity Golem drops or loses an item or expends a charge, all other instances lose that item or charge. If any instance of the Multiplicity Golem picks up an item or regains a charge, all other instances of the Multiplicity Golem also gain that item or charge.

Multiplicity Golems live on a Diet of Souls, are quite smart, and each instance can speak one language, chosen upon duplication.

By touching an unconscious character continuously for one minute, the Genie may implant a wish in that character's mind. The character now wishes that thing more than anything else in the world. If the character gets their wish, they are no longer obsessed with it. Genies like to implant wishes in characters before letting them go, so they don't make very good jailors.

The nozricene uses its arms to move, and therefore can't use its hands during any turn in which it uses a land, swim, or burrow speed.

The songs of a nozricene are so beautiful, all non-nozricenes who clearly hear their song (it can be faintly heard from 300 meters away, and clearly heard from 60 meters away) while the nozricene is concentrating on singing it must make a Will Save with -1 to the DC each round or be stunned with sadness for that round.

Advancement

Advanced Empathy (50 points): The Nozricene can Scan for Souls as a Standard action, locating all souls within 300 meters and identifying the Tier of each one.

It also gets +2 to Insight to determine what a creature wants, and an Advanced Specialty.

Immolator (50 points): The Nozricene can burn things extremely well. It gains a Magic-Damage Fire Spike attack with 60m/180m range that deals 1d6+1 Heat damage and lights wounded targets on fire. It also lives on a diet of calories instead of Souls, and gets ten times as many calories from the same amount of food compared to a normal creature. The Nozricene gains an Advanced Specialty and becomes [ Orange ].

Unicorn

A unicorn is a pink horse, with a single horn protruding from the center of its forehead. At the base of this horn there is a pink gem.

The unicorn is quite smart, but can only speak Grassmuncher languages.

The unicorn's unarmed attacks deal 1d6+5 damage (Muscle included).

It also has a melee Muscle-Damage Brutal Skewer attack which deals 1d6+6 Physical damage (Muscle included), and any creature wounded by this skewering becomes the unicorn's devoted protector and minion for 1 round per wound.

As a standard action, the unicorn can gently touch a creature with its horn to cure that creature of any psychological or emotional problems the unicorn chooses; this somewhat reduces the creature's ability to experience those emotions in any context. A creature touched in this way gets a Will Save to resist.

As a standard action, the unicorn can emit calming waves of energy. Creatures within 20 meters (including the unicorn) must make a Will Save with -1 to the DC or be stunned for 1 round.

Advancement

Nightmare (20 points): When the unicorn kills a creature, all enemies within 30 meters find the unicorn Frightening X, where X is the unicorn's Save DC -1. The range of the unicorn's calming waves increases by 10 meters. The unicorn gains an Advanced Specialty.

Gravitational Inversion (20 points): The unicorn can invert gravity for itself freely. This lets its jump distance become infinite, and if it uses brief inversions to reduce its falling speed to 125 meters per round or less, it doesn't take fall damage. If it attempts to flip between ceiling or floor during an action, and the two are less then 20 meters apart, it must succeed on a DC 6 Agility check or fall prone. The unicorn gains an Advanced Specialty.

Bloodthirster

The bloodthirster is a sort of magic sword, given life with the assistance of a pink gem and an orange gem.

Bloodthirsters are quite smart. They cannot speak any languages, but can generate metallic scraping and ringing noises to convey a wide range of emotions. They survive on a diet of souls.

A bloodthirster has no hands, but it has a melee Magic-Damage slashing attack which deals 1d6 Physical damage, and shrivels any creature it wounds until that creature next consumes a day's-worth of food. This slashing attack may also be used by any creature who wields the sword, but does 1d6 damage (1d6+1 if wielded two-handed) and is Muscle-Damage rather than Magic-Damage; the Magic Power of the Bloodthirster does not apply.

Advancement

The Bloodthirster cannot be given extras which add to Movement Speed.

Bloodlust (12 points): When the Bloodthirster has tasted someone's blood, it gains a temporary affinity for the rest of that creature's blood. The Bloodthirster can sense creatures or bloodstains of creatures it has wounded in the past 24 hours from 30 meters away. The Bloodthirster gains two Advanced Specialties.

Domination (12 points): Any creature who attempts to wield the Bloodthirster must make a Will save or fall under the Bloodthirster's control for so long as the Bloodthirster is wielded by that creature. At the end of this creature's turn, if controlling this creature puts the party over its point limit, the creature takes one wound and drops the Bloodthirster. The Bloodthirster gains two Advanced Specialties.

Chimera

This large quadruped has three heads.

Each head corresponds to a color, and no two heads on a chimera correspond to the same color.

The chimera's heads act and are targeted separately, but move with the body. Each head has one "hand", its mouth, and deals 1d6+2 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included). The body has no "hands" but it deals 1d6+5 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included). If the body is slain, or all of the heads are slain, the Chimera dies.

Depending on the color, the head gets different powers:

[ Orange ]: As a standard action, it can breathe a 30 meter, 90 degree conical Muscle-Area blast of fire, which makes a ranged Magic-Damage attack against AD on each creature and unattended object in the area for 1d6+1 Heat damage. Wounded targets are lit on fire.

The head is moderately smart, and can only speak Draconic languages.

[ Pink ]: As a standard action, the head can make itself frightening to any number of other creatures it specifies within 30 meters.

The head is quite smart, and can only speak Feline languages.

[ Purple ]: As a standard action, the head can spit spatial phlegm at a creature, as a ranged Muscle-Damage attack against GD with a range of 30m/100m, for 1d6+3 Physical damage (Muscle included). If the creature is wounded, the Chimera may teleport that creature 5 meters in any direction.

The head is not very smart, but knows and can speak every language.

[ White ]: As a standard action, the head can heal each head, and the main body, for 1 wound each.

The head is moderately smart, and can speak.

[ Blue ]: As a standard action, it can spit lightning at each of three targets within 120 meters, making a ranged Magic-Damage attack against AD for each one. The lightning deals 1d6+1 Electricity damage (Magic Power included), and Stuns on a successful wound.

[ Green ]: As a standard action, the head can change its color to any other color for 1 minute.

Advancement

Fourth Head: The Chimera gains a fourth head, which may be of a color it already has a head for.

Head Regrowth (50 points): As a standard action, the Chimera can regrow a slain head, restoring it to 1 HP and curing it of the dead condition. This inflicts 1 wound on the body. The body gains two Advanced Specialties.
