Howdy Everyone.

I felt like adding some flavor to the Aegis in the area of stealth and infiltration. Having recently watched AI and Discrict9 I found some inspiration in the non living forms of movement i perceived in these movies. So, after some investigation into the other aegis archetypes and seeing the Aberrant archetype fall short in the full effect through-out the progression of the Aegis, I decided to go this route.

The idea is to move towards a roughish infiltrator Aegis. With flavor added in the varriant being a half Construct. shurg. Let me know what you think about the balance of the Archetype customization's etc etc.

Transmografier
The Transmografier archetype is for use with the Aegis psionic class. The physical world is but a reflection of thought. Mind over Matter.

Transmografied form (Ex)
A transmografier modifies his own form by using manifested ectoplasm to become a construct in nature, rather than covering himself in an ectoplasmic suit. The transmografier gains the 'Half Construct' template when taking this archetype.
An transmografier can modify his form in a fashion similar to the aegis's customization, but his options are more limited. He can choose customizations from the customization list below, as well as new customizations exclusive to the transmografier. Because the transmografier is modifying his own body, he may wear armour normally.
The transmografier gains Ranged Attack and Nimble as a free customizations. At 2nd level, the transmografier gains Evasion as a free customization. At 5th level, the transmografier gains Precision Attack as a free customization.
This ability replaces Form Astral Suit and Invigorating Suit.

Shifting Persona
Starting at 2nd level, the transmografier gains a +1 bonus to Bluff and Diplomacy. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1.
This ability replaces Craftsman and Master Craftsman.

Reconfigure Appearance (Ex)
Beginning at 3rd level, a transmografier gains the Ability to change the physical appearance of its body. The transmografier Gains a +10 bonus to disguise self checks when he changes his appearance. This change takes 10 minutes to complete, and allows the transmografier to physically assume any like sized humanoid in appearance.
This ability replaces Reconfigure

Cannibalize Power (Su)
At 12th level, the transmografier Gains the ability to repair his body by disabling active Customizations. Once per day as a move action, he can disable any number of customizations to gain Hit Points equal to twice the number of disabled customization points the customizations cost. Disabled customizations are unavailable for use for 1 min. Every two levels thereafter, the Aegis can use this ability an additional time per day.
This ability replaces Cannibalize Suit.

Perfect Control (Su)
At 20th level, the transmografier has learned to modify his body effortlessly. Every round the transmografier may change a number of customization points equal to his Intelligence modifier.
This ability replaces Perfect Merger
