Time roach.png

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.

Each round, the egg doubles in mass, until it weighs as much as a giant crab after 9 rounds. The egg continues to weigh that much until it hatches a week later. For every egg the giant crab lays, it needs to eat another day's worth of food.

Advancements

Thought Eggs (15 points): The eggs laid by the giant crab exist only in the mind of the creature they are laid on. That creature acts as though it is encumbered by a real egg, but the egg can't be destroyed because it is mostly imaginary: rather, the creature must concentrate for 1 round to make a Will Save to disbelieve the egg. The egg still hatches into a real Giant Crab after a week, despite its previously mental nature, but time spent dead does not count for incubation. The Giant Crab gets three additional Advanced Specialties.

Living Idea

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 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.

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.

A link elephant has a special Muscle-Damage Trunk Link weapon, which deals 1d6+6 Physical damage (Muscle included), and any creature wounded by it is linked to the elephant for 3 rounds: while linked, whenever the Link Elephant is wounded, each linked creature is flung 3 meters away from the elephant per wound.

The Link Elephant can lumber through the spaces of creatures smaller than itself, dealing 1d6 damage to any creature it moves past in this way. Even if the Link Elephant moves through a creature multiple times, each creature only takes damage from this once during the same turn.

As an immediate action, when another creature within 4 meters would be healed by a healing effect, the Link Elephant can make that creature take that many wounds instead; or when another creature within 4 meters would be wounded by a damaging effect, the Link Elephant can make that creature heal that many wounds instead.

Advancement

Controlled Fling (10 points): When the Link Elephant would fling a creature for any reason, it may choose the direction. It gains two Advanced Specialties.

Emotion Dance (10 points): As a standard action, the Link Elephant can stomp to establish a mood for all who hear it (it's audible from 300 meters away). A fear mood is frightening, a war mood gives +1 to Accuracy for 1 round, a soothing mood lets each creature attempt to recover from their fear. If a creature has been affected by an Emotion Dance less than one round earlier, the Emotion Dance does not affect them. The Link Elephant gains two Advanced Specialties.

Scaredy-Cat

Scaredy-Cat.jpg

A Scaredy-Cat is a small feline creature with large, wide eyes. It eats and emanates fear.

At the end of each of its turns, creatures within 10 meters find the Scaredy-Cat Frightening, and it finds them Frightening as well.

Its unarmed attacks deal 1d6 damage (Muscle included), and on a successful wound the victim's ability to feel fear is devoured: the creature becomes immune to [ Fear ] effects for 1 hour, and the range of the Scaredy-Cat's fear aura increases by 10 meters for 1 round if that creature wasn't already immune to [ Fear ]. This [ Fear ] immunity is bound to the Scaredy-Cat.

Advancement

Feedback (5 points): When the immunity to [ Fear ] effects granted by the Scaredy-Cat ends, that creature finds the Scaredy-Cat Frightening. The Scaredy-Cat gets an Advanced Specialty.

Genie

Genie.jpg

A genie is a 4 meter tall pink humanoid, with a wispy tail instead of legs.

Genies are quite smart, and often know several languages. They are also immortal, spontaneously generated when large populations share a single strong desire. Genies survive on a diet of souls rather than organic material.

Genies have two Magic-Damage Link Fist weapons, which deal 1d6+3 Physical damage and link wounded creatures together in the Genie's Network for 1 round per wound. Whenever a creature in the Network suffers from a damage roll for a reason other than the Network, each other creature in the Network suffers from the same damage roll minus 2.

As a standard action, it can force a target it can see within 75 meters to make a Will Save or spend a move action on its next turn moving as close to the Genie as possible.

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. Each genie has a particular favorite wish.

Advancement

Lichdom (35 points): The Genie is [ Undead ], and gets -1 Perception while exposed to bright light. By touching a dead character as a standard action attack against AD, the character is reanimated with the Revenant class and a fresh Soul that wants nothing other than the Genie's choice of wish. The character serves the Genie willingly as a member of its party, unless its existence causes its party to go over the point limit, in which case it immediately leaves the party and spends the next hour running away. The Genie gains two Advanced Specialties and becomes [ White ].

Ascension (30 points): If a creature granted a wish by this genie gets its wish after more than a year, it transforms into a Genie. The Genie's aerobatics distance decreases by 3 meters. The Genie gains two Advanced Specialties.

Nozricene

Nozricene.png

A nozricene is a large spherical head with extraordinarily expressive facial muscles, and a pair of large muscular arms sticking out from just below the ears. It is most remarkable for the immense soul it possesses; an individual nozricene has more soul than an entire village of humans, meaning that a nozricene who eats people typically gains more joy from eating a person than that person experiences in their entire life.

Nozricenes are quite smart, and know several languages. Nozricenes survive on a diet of souls rather than organic material.

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

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

Bloodthirster.png

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

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.

Vetala

A vetala is a reanimating force which travels from corpse to corpse, functioning much like a Special Class.

Vetalas are quite smart, and can speak.

Vetala

Special: You are worth 12 more points.


Advancement

Demand Destruction (10 points): As a standard action, the Vetala can force a creature that can hear it within 30 meters to make a Will Save or become filled with a desire to destroy a target creature or object of the Vetala's choice for 1d6 rounds.

It can also create larger 2 meter wide, 0 meter deep portals, with one end adjacent to itself and the other end 30 meters away, as a move action; such portals disappear after 1 round.

The bonewalker's glowing face brightly illuminates out to 1 meter.

The bonewalker gets -1 to Perception in direct sunlight.

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.

The shadow cannot hold things, being essentially two-dimensional, but it can make attacks with its melee Magic-Damage Deathly Grasp, which deals 1d6+3 Cold damage (Magic Power included).

Advancement

Hide in Corpse (5 points): The Shadow can attune itself to a dead creature, despite it not projecting light. When a light appears within 1 meter of the corpse, the Shadow may attune itself to that light as an immediate action. The Shadow gains an advanced specialty.

It can use its mandibles as a "hand", which is not surprising since the mandibles are made out of human fingers.

The reaper's penalties for using additional weapons decrease to -1 per weapon.

Reapers get a +2 bonus to Stealth against non-injured creatures except while it is in bright light.

When a Reaper kills a victim, the resulting explosion of body parts makes an attack against AD with an accuracy of +2 against each other creature in a 5 meter spray for 1d6+2 Physical damage (Muscle included).

Advancement

Death's Messenger (25 points): When a creature dies, if the Reaper is aware of it, the Reaper may, as an immediate action, teleport to its corpse. The Reaper gains an Advanced Specialty and becomes [ Purple ].

Extruder

Extruder.jpg

The extruder is a ribcage and a tail. It moves by growing ribs from its spine and adding to its tail to maintain a height of up to 2 meters off the ground; this holds it in place well enough that it can travel up walls and ceilings. Only the tail part is actually part of the creature; the remainder of the ribcage is merely detritus.

Extruders live on a diet of bones. Extruders are not particularly smart, and cannot speak. Extruders get -1 to Perception in bright light.

The extruder has only one "hand", but deals 1d6+2 damage with unarmed attacks (Muscle included), and when it successfully wounds a creature with an unarmed attack, that creature takes another 1d6+3 damage (Muscle included) at the beginning of its next turn from growing bones, as it is held in place until someone can shatter the (now detritus) bones holding it steady (Toughness 4, 1 HP).

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 ].

They can smell the aftereffects of light, and can accurately identify how bright the place it sniffs was at all times up to 1 day ago.

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.

It has a melee Propulsion attack, which flings 2d6×5 meters instead of dealing damage. It can also drip ten cubic meters of toxic waste as a Standard AND Move action.

If it passes within 30 meters of an unattended object, that object is pushed until it is 30 meters away. Large or amorphous objects, like dirt or walls, may be shattered in this process. The grinding of terrain is audible from 300 meters away.

The Roaming Cavern loses the ability to fly while it is more than 60 meters from any objects that are connected to the ground.

Advancement

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.

Only objects that are not flammable and creatures may be lit On Cold.

The chillburn angel freezes water it touches, allowing it to walk on the surface.

Advancement

Stealth 1     Perception 2     Agility 0
Descriptors  [ Blooded ], [ Bony ], [ Living ], [ Angel ], [ Black ]
Movement  24 meter land speed with 0.5 meter jump distance. 12 meter swim speed with 10 meter sink.
Size  2 meters     Reach 1.5 meters
Carrying Capacity 320 kilograms      Weight 1200 Kilograms
Basic Specialties  Stubborn, Offensive, Brutal, Powerful, Sturdy
Advanced Specialties  Aggressive 2, Stealthy, Perceptive, Sturdy 2
Extras  Big, Might & Magic 2

Fickle mercenaries have two hands, and their unarmed attacks deal 1d6+5 damage (Muscle included).

The fickle mercenary has a Heavy Magic-Damage Void Line weapon which it can project from either of its palms: it deals 1d6+2 Void damage (Magic Power included) to every hit target in a 40 meter line extending from the fickle mercenary. The line passes through obstacles without difficulty.

Fickle mercenaries are easily bought: anyone can demand the services of a specific fickle mercenary by taking a lesser action to ask for its allegiance while within its hearing and spending 4 Sacrifice Energy. Fickle mercenaries always serve their latest master fully and completely.

When a character would project an Avatar of a member of its party, and it could choose to project an Avatar of a fickle mercenary if it had one in its party, it can choose to project any non-busy fickle mercenary. This does not confer the mercenary's allegiance.

Advancement

Pact of Egalitarianism (20 points): The fickle mercenary gains an Advanced Specialty, and can form a Pact of Egalitarianism, which grants the other creature the mercenary's Void Line weapon (which deals 1d6-1 Void damage before Magic Power is applied), but requires them to offer their services to anyone willing to pay: anyone can ask for the creature's allegiance while within its hearing as a lesser action by spending 4 Sacrifice Energy. The creature is obliged to obey for 3 rounds or until someone else buys its allegiance, whichever comes first. The penalty for Breaking the Pact is a 6 energy Personal Sacrifice.

The fractalence has an infinite number of hands, and its unarmed attacks deal 1d6+2 Void damage (Magic Power included, its Unarmed attacks are Magic-Damage rather than Muscle-Damage).

As a Standard action, the fractalence can hurtle through up to 200 meters of intervening objects and creatures, dealing 1d6+2 Void damage (Magic Power included) to anything it passes through. If it does not end its hurtle in an open space, it bounces back to the last open space it left during this travel, and takes 1d6+2 Void damage itself.

As a Standard action, the fractalence can merge into the scenery, becoming nearly undetectable as a Decent Disguise. While in this state, it can do nothing other than observe its surroundings, Pay Attention, Delay, and use a Standard action to unmerge and return to normal.

Advancement

Void Star (40 points): As a Standard Action, the fractalence can project an Avatar for a creature in its party into any empty space within reach. The Avatar lasts until the fractalence projects an Avatar for a different creature, or the Avatar leaves the fractalence's sight for more than 1 continuous round. The fractalence gains two Advanced Specialties.

Bantar Claws (75 points): When the fractalence wounds a creature with a Heavy Unarmed attack, it may duplicate them as though it had hit the creature with a successful casting of the Division spell. The fractalence becomes Legend tier, gains an Advanced Specialty, and becomes [ Green ].

The void general has two hands, and its unarmed attacks deal 1d6+5 damage (Muscle included).

The venomous fangs of its snakelike head allow it to afflict a target with Abasement Toxin if it wounds the target with a no-handed unarmed attack.

As a Move action, the void general can project Avatars for up to two creatures in its party into any empty space within reach. The Avatar(s) last for 3 rounds.

As a Standard action, the void general can breathe a cloud of magic negation in a 30 meter, 90 degree conical blast. This void cloud lasts for 3 rounds, and all [ Bound ] spells are suppressed while they target anything in the cloud or are bound by anyone in the cloud. This cloud also negates faint auras, preventing them from extending into the cloud.

As an Immediate action, the void general can make a 60m/300m ranged attack against a caster or psychic's GD to disrupt a spell as it is being cast or technique as it is being used.

Advancement

Bridge to Nowhere (150 points): As a Standard Action, the void general can begin to create a circular disk of pure nothingness that annihilates all it touches, from 0.1 to 2 meters in radius up to 100 meters away. For one round, it is detectable only as a dark spot that makes a gentle whooshing sound, audible from 100 meters away. After the round has passed, it becomes the disk of destruction, and lasts until the void general dismisses it as a Lesser action or creates a new disk. Creatures and objects pushed through the disk disappear completely. The disk is surrounded by strong wind pushing towards it, in a blast around the disk as far as its radius, which is now audible from 300 meters. The void general gains two Advanced Specialties.

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.

[ 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.

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.

Mannequin

Mannequins are mindless humanoid puppets of wood and iron, specially designed to be easy to manipulate from afar by their creator. The Mannequin can only act on a turn in which they are within their creator's Faint Aura and the creator uses a lesser action to manipulate the Mannequin.

The Mannequin has no senses.

They are crafted as Psychic Items with a value of 300 copper. They require a Psychic Strength of 12 meters and the Force Bloodline.

They cannot think, but can speak as their creator commands.

Psyche Afterglow

Psyche Afterglow.png

When a Psychic dies, sometimes not all of their soul moves on to the afterlife, some of it remains in the world of the living and after a few days condenses into a sort of afterglow.

Psyche afterglows are very visible ghostly blurs that resemble the psychic they were in life, and are the psychic's favorite color.

Psyche afterglows are a bit less intelligent than their original psychics were, and can speak languages they knew in life.

Psyche afterglows have a Strong Aura of 1 meter.

Psyche afterglows are immune to Physical damage and can fly through solid objects and creatures, albeit at only one-tenth of their normal speed. They cannot hold or move things, or attack.

They have a single Bloodline, drawn from among the ones their original psychic had, and an ability derived from that Bloodline:

If slain, the psyche afterglow reforms in the same place after 2d6 days.
