    What Is An Ozodrin?
    Spoiler
    Show

    True Ozodrin

    "Like a madman groping in a dark room
    Seek the light to burn away the gloom
    I’ve lost my mind but my feelings are true
    Everything I do, I offer to you

    Now I’ve found you
    We can make our own luck
    Devour me first, or I shall eat you up
    Come close your eyes, wake yourself from these dreams
    Reality is ripping at the seams"

    True Ozodrin is lovecraftian shapeshifter class based loosely on the Far Realms.

    Taking levels in Ozodrin represents a physical descent into viciousness and madness manifest, warping the mind in ways that logical or sane words cannot describe; and yet the original soul may remain true to the individual.


    Abilities: Charisma is an ozodrin's primary attribute, look the class over and see what options appeal to you before deciding other attributes.

    Role: An Ozodrin makes a great frontliner, but may be played as a ranged character or summoner.

    Background: The nature of transformation can come from many sources, it may be magical but is likely tied to the Far Realms.

    Organization: Ozodrin are almost always solitary.

    Alignment: Ozodrin tend towards Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil, their nature makes relating to or having respect for life difficult at times.

    Races: Any race may become an Ozodrin, but it's more likely for easily corrupted races or races that dabble in planar cosmology or interact with the far realms specifically.

    Religion: Ozodrin tend towards concepts such as hunting, slaughter, aberrations, far realm, deception, freedom and madness.

    Other Classes: A subtle anxiety is present around other classes, ozodrins are easily misunderstood as evil or unstable.

    Adaptation: Ozodrin work best in campaigns with a more grey moraity scale and with less focus on righteousness.

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    How does an Ozodrin manipulate her form?: True Ozodrin are amorphous creatures that hide within solid or contained forms, they embody spacial anomalies both inside and outside, creating extra-dimensional spaces, folding space for teleportation and distorting space to create her guise and otherwise containing her potential.

    What is the nature of an Ozodrin's abilities?: True Ozodrin use a broad combination of sources to create their effects, they are innately magical, psionic and are capable of consuming a creature's "vitality" itself. Ozodrin also make use of stranger powers from the far realms, ley lines of the universe that have been forgotten, rivers of energy flowing from the past and future, dormant energy in their bodies or the bodies they have consumed and otherwise being a snare or sinkhole for the cosmic ebb and flow that creatures do not notice, including perhaps the Ozodrin.

    Is the Ozodrin an Aberration?: True Ozodrin are flavored in an aberrant way, but an Ozodrin's nature is an internal discovery or choice for the Ozodrin to make for herself.

    What existing characters or concepts are relevant to the Ozodrin?: Ozodrin is based on the images of Ozoi, a Nijuira Maid, her powers and physics are directly related to this character. Additionally the Ozodrin draws inspiration from the Homunculi in Full Metal Alchemist, primarily Gluttony and Pride (spoilers), it also draws inspiration from HP Lovecraft's Shoggoths, Hellsing's Alucard, Nico Robin's Hana Hana no Mi ability from One Piece, Skullgirl's Double, and various other shapeshifters and horror influences.
    Mechanically Ozodrin are derived from the Limit Freak class and during the remix they also took mechanics from Selinia's minion management system and make good use of the aegis' Aberrant archetype for conceptual balance points and worth equivalencies.

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    Updates
    The Workshop section is now fleshed out, it will show the most immediate projects being worked on and updates in real time.

    Changes Made from Owrtho's Ozodrin:


    Spoiler: Implemented as of Dec 16 2013, see later posts for more changes.
    Show
    • 3.5 Core -> Pathfinder Core
    • EVERYTHING reformatted, cleaned, paraphrased and made more concise.
    • Features have a maximum features/level cap to balance and round the class out.
    • Manifest Form, Form Points and Feature Class features combined into a single Manifest (Ex)
    • The duration of the shaken effect post-combat has been made DM-Subjective.
    • The number of features the ozodrin is able to change is now based on FP, not feature amount.
    • Added a natural attacks sidebar, detailing how natural attacks work and how the ozodrin differs from normal.
    • Added the Organ feature, replacing the Flesh and Special Eye feature and taking on other feature's augments such as the Spit special attack.
    • Core features (Eyes, Mouth, Tentacles, Limb and Organ) are granted one at a time from levels 1 to 5, but may be purchased with feats to gain more sooner.
    • Puppet feature and Lure Trap have been merged into one feature.
    • Spike, Fin, Stomach, Puppet and Spawn are all readily available as feats, granted earlier.
    • Aberrant Affinity has been changed to also reduce the effectiveness of aberrant feat stacking, instead it encourages off-optimized attribute arrays and will be further encouraged with a feat for those who like passive strength.
    • Menacing demeanor has been changed to Unnerving Grace now adds an additional bonus to Diplomacy checks.
    • Added a grappling sidebar image.
    • Both primary stomach and Swallow Whole have been radically simplified in favor of complicating them with augments later.
    • Hiding within strange movement has been changed to more easily allow the ozodrin to get around unnoticed, enhancing puppet play as if it were the character itself.
    • The bonus to escape artist checks has been removed from Strange Anatomy, in favor of an optional rule allowing ozodrin to potentially avoid being targeted as if they were a living being.
    • Jaws That Bite has been removed.
    • Strange Physiology has been added.
    • Twisted Mind now has a potent single target illusion effect, the wisdom damage has been made into a flat number and the insanity effect has been replaced with sanity damage.
    • Budding Body (Ex) The main rules have been moved to the tentacle feature, this also allows limbs to carry features in case an ozodrin is using extra long limbs.
    • Rapid form's feature cap has been changed to FP.
    • Otherworldly guise simplified and redirected to new puppet rules.
    • Horror changed to Infinite Horror, allowing a similar gain to FP within levels 19-23 but accelerating afterwards (just incase the ozodrin wanted to be a god).
    • Distorted mind changed to be more of a concept, it allows the player perfect control over the same effect.
    • Many features have their stacking passive bonuses removed or toned down and replaced with lump bonuses from the Many augment.
    • Furthermore, an ozodrin can choose the Strike augment to add extra attacks with the same feature if she wishes.
    • Many many changes to features and augments, creating more balanced play and simpler bookkeeping.
    • The Spawn feature has been COMPLETELY changed, it now allows early level multiple summons at the same time, these are highly simplified and easy to keep track of.
    • Spike's default has been fundamentally changed, it also has the noteworthy Impale augment which allows the ozodrin to pin a creature and exit the grappled condition without swallowing it.
    • Puppet has been radically changed.
    • Tentacle object manipulation has been changed to a standard action.
    • The Ozodrin has been lined up with several Archetypes (Alternative Class Feature Options), this will allow radically different ways of play, such as psionic grappling with a creature's mind, features made of non-organic matter (machine, tether), adventuretime's Jake The Dog, and many more.



    Spoiler: Ratio Remake AKA Ozodrin Version 2.1 (April 18 2014)
    Show

    Ratio Remake (Ozodrin Version 2.1)


    Important Changes


    Form Point Ratio

    Spoiler: Form Point Ratio
    Show

    Highly reduced math and bookkeeping.


    • Form Point Per Level Gain changed from 3FP to 1FP.
    • Bonus FP changed from [+1FP/ChaMod and +1FP/Ab.Feat] to [+(3:1)FP/2ChaMod]
    • Features and Augments adjusted and uniformed to cost 1FP each under the new ratio.


    Rationale
    This new balance gives incentive to high charisma ozodrins, and reduces optimization with aberrant feats.
    It also makes FP dumping a non-issue, as there is no excess to be had.
    It's now easier to gain maximum FP balance range but it does not require the previous complications of feat stacking and archetype funneling.



    Organ Casting

    Spoiler: Organ Casting
    Show

    The Bio system was intended to be a small utility and an overcharge, Organ Casting will replace that intention by introducting a modular and variable ability to cast limited spells.

    • "Bio" Pool has been removed.
    • Casting will first use the ozodrin's Strange Movement and when that runs out it will consume the ozodrin's hitpoints.
    • Most organ augments and all bio effects have been removed.
    • Each organ bought will improve the ozodrin's hitpoints by +3.
    • Each organ grants 1 spell, chosen from a list of spells. Spells and domains can be unlocked further with feats, and other such things.
    • Consuming a freshly slain corpse now regains 1HP per Hit Die of the creature, granting a scaling sustain mechanic to balance HP casting.
    • Spells used by the ozodrin are very limited, with a maximum spell level of 6 and range and target limitations to narrow the utility potential.


    Rationale
    Because the ozodrin now runs on hitpoints rather than Bio it has highly improved utility at the cost of a more risky combat experience. Fast healing and other sources of infinite healing potential grant amazing utility options to the ozodrin out of combat.



    Fin Remake

    Spoiler: Fin Remake
    Show

    I've done an overhaul on fin and it's working really well now.

    • Fin augment has been changed to grant +6 to swim. (Changing the ozodrin's profile to become more aquatic.)
    • Augment to give the ozodrin a swim speed equal to it's land speed.
    • Augment to give the ozodrin Sky Swim nonmagically.


    Rationale
    "Fin" grants a general physical profile, one feature is enough to give as many fins or aquatic looking things to the ozodrin as she wishes, granting a cheap aesthetic flavoring.
    The options to gain fly and swim are now cheaper to gain the minimal A to B effect.
    Because of the way that these augments are worded it grants the DM the ability to resolve flight either by reflex save or fly checks, and it grants perfect maneuverability which takes a lot of the pain out of aerial combat.


    Smaller Changes


    A few of the countless changes:

    Spoiler: Change List
    Show

    Some of the class feature changes:
    • Some class feature names have changed.
    • Aberration type has been removed, opening the ozodrin's flavor options a bit.
    • Primary Stomach has been changed to Portable Hole physics.
    • Ozodrin bonus feats have been switched to the Unlock system.
    • Twisted Mind now allows the ozodrin to grapple with gaze attacks.
    • Sinister Image now has increased flavor options utilizing Enter Image.
    • Infinite Horror replaced by Awakening, solving the unitilized FP issue and adding a tonne of flavor.
    • "Super lying" removed and replaced by Unspeakable Presence, and while this does not have the same flavor potential it better advances the twisted mind intention at an appropriate level.



    Feature/Augment Changes:
    Honestly there are too many to make it worth listing, please take a look.

    Becoming an Ozodrin only grants you proficiency with armor or weapons created by Ozodrin Class Features, Aberrant Feats, Ozodrin Spells, and weapon abilities otherwise introduced with the class and it's directly associated homebrew.




    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    2.1 Class Features

    Manifest (Ex) ι 1 ι You are a disguise for an ever-changing terror within.

    When a creature becomes an ozodrin all they held previously becomes a form known as a "Guise", this is a disguise that contains her true self.
    An ozodrin's true self however can be reformed and enhanced by using a pool of "Form Points" to create "Features".

    • As a swift action, an ozodrin may Manifest its true nature, revealing all of it's features and as a swift action can switch back again.
    • When manifesting her true form all creatures the ozodrin wants to affect that have a line of sight to her must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 class level + Charisma modifier) or become Shaken until the end of the encounter or longer at the DM's discretion.
    • If a creature succeeds their save against the ozodrin's Manifest they become immune to it for 24 hours.
    • An ozodrin may choose to suppress any visual effects of feats, bloodlines or features, doing so also disables it's mechanical effect.


    Features (Ex) ι 1 ι You may change your physical components.
    • You may add or remove features and augments to your true form only when in your guise.
    • The ozodrin gains a list of features, by default an ozodrin may use the Eye, Mouth, Tentacle, Limb and Organ features.
    • All non-epic features and augments cost 1 Form Point each.
    • Adding Features or Augments may be done as either a Standard or Move Action once per round, adding up to 1 + 1/4 Total FP.
    • Removing Features/Augments is a physical Free Action, effects and conditions that disable all your physical actions also disable your ability to remove features.


    Form Points [Class Level + 1/2 Charisma Modifier]
    • An ozodrin has a number of form points equal to it's ozodrin class level plus half it's Charisma modifier rounded down.
    • Form points spent on features and their augments are regained when those features are removed.
    • Ozodrin that are racially larger than medium gain a bonus to FP equal to it's special size modifier.


    Natural Attacks Sidebar
    Spoiler
    Show

    The ozodrin uses the following rules for Natural Attacks:



    Natural Attacks follow special rules for an Ozodrin:
    • An ozodrin cannot make more attacks with its natural attacks granted by features per round than half the sum of its class level + its Charisma modifier.
    • If a feature grants a natural attack that is considered Primary on this table she may always treat it as Primary.
    • Tentacles are always considered Primary for the ozodrin.
    • If the ozodrin has natural attacks from sources other than its Ozodrin class levels, she may choose to use natural attacks from that source as primary natural attacks instead.
    • If an ozodrin makes natural attacks and attacks with a weapon, the natural attacks are considered secondary.
    • All of your natural weapons may be treated as any other type of natural weapon for the purposes of being effected by beneficial spells or powers.


    How Natural Weapons Make Multiple Attacks By KRyan
    Spoiler
    Show

    Quote Originally Posted by https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/22047/how-do-multiple-attacks-with-natural-weapons-work
    You almost always need a Full-round Action to take multiple attacks
    Natural Weapons are not an exception


    As a standard action, you can use any of your natural weapons to make a single attack. You cannot make attacks with multiple natural weapons, not even paired weapons like claws. If a weapon is “secondary” (it will say so in its description), it makes the attack at −5 even if it’s you’re only attack.

    As a full-round action, you may attack once with each weapon. Only one weapon or pair of weapons can be “primary;” even if you have more than one weapon or pair of weapons that claim to be “primary” in their description, you must pick one or one pair to be primary, and all others are secondary. Secondary natural weapon attacks are taken at a −5 penalty.

    This means your attack routine with two claws (primary pair) and a tail attack (secondary) is +0/+0/−5 at BAB +0.

    There are some (rare) ways to attack more than once as a standard action, and some of them are compatible with natural weapons. These will explicitly state this exception to the usual, however.

    Natural Weapons and Manufactured Weapons use totally separate rules

    Natural weapons never receive iterative attacks, and there are no cumulative −5 penalties, only a single −5 penalty applied to all secondary natural attacks. If you have the Multiattack feat, all secondary natural weapons attack at a −2 penalty instead of a −5 penalty.

    None of the rules about manufactured weapon attacks (iteratives, two-weapon fighting, Flurry of Blows, etc.) apply to natural weapons.

    Thus at BAB +20, that same pair of primary claws and secondary tail slap attacks at +20/+20/+15, or +20/+20/+18 with Multiattack. If you added a pair of secondary Tentacle attacks, that would be +20/+20/+15/+15/+15 without Multiattack, or +20/+20/+18/+18/+18 with.

    Unless otherwise specified by the natural weapon, primary natural weapons add your Strength modifier to damage, while secondary natural weapons add half your Strength modifier to damage.

    You can mix manufactured weapons and natural weapons.

    When you do so, you gain all your normal manufactured-weapon attacks (including iteratives), plus any natural weapons you have, each as a secondary weapon, with the caveat that you cannot use any natural weapons that are being use to hold a manufactured weapon. I.e. if you hold your sword in one hand and attack with it, you cannot use the Claw attack from that hand. If you instead two-hand a Great Axe, then you cannot use either Claw attack.

    When you do this, you can mix natural weapons with full-attacks that use the two-weapon fighting combat option or Flurry of Blows class feature.

    Example: Longsword, pair of claws, and tail slap

    Thus if you had a Longsword, a pair of Claws, and a Tail Slap, your attack routine would be +0/−5/−5 (sword, claw, tail) for BAB +0. Multiattack improves this to +0/−2/−2. At BAB +20, it’s instead +20/+15/+10/+5/+15/+15 (sword, sword, sword, sword, claw, tail) or +20/+15/+10/+5/+18/+18 if you have Multiattack.

    Same character with dual kukris and the Two-Weapon Fighting feat

    If you instead have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, and use that option with a pair of light weapons (call it a pair of Kukris), you attack at −2/−2/−7 (kukri, kukri, tail), since both hands with Claws are being used to attack with Kukris, and the Tail is always secondary when used with manufactured weapons (hence another −5 on top of the −2 from Two-Weapon Fighting). The Multiattack feat would reduce the penalty, so the tail would be at −4 (+3 attack for one out of three attacks is not a great use of a feat, but just for completion’s sake).

    At BAB +15 and with the Improved and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feats, you get +13/+13/+8/+8/+3/+3/+8 (left kukri, right kukri, left kukri (2nd), right kukri (2nd), left kukri (3rd), right kukri (3rd), tail).

    Order of attacks is always up to you

    Attacks are usually listed from highest bonus to lowest, but you are not actually required to use them in that order. Most of the time people do just because it’s easier to keep track, but especially for natural weapons you might want to use those first (particularly if they have an innate poison or something).


    How Fighting With Natural Weapons Works By Solo

    Quote Originally Posted by http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=10994.0
    Main hand weapons are weapons you get your iterative attacks with. This is NOT required to be a single weapon. You could make main hand attacks with 3 different weapons, so long as you have enough BAB to make 3 attacks. Main hand attacks typically get 1x +str, unless you wield them in both hands. Note: You don't actually have to wield a weapon in any hands, provided its description allows it.

    Offhand weapons are weapons who's attacks are derived from the two weapon fighting (henceforth to be referred to as TWFing) combat option, or through the higher tier TWFing feats. You don't need TWFing to TWF, but it helps reduce the penalties. You DO need Improved TWF and Greater TWF to make more than one offhand attack. All offhand attacks have to be with the same weapon, and it can't be with any weapon you used as part of your iterative attacks. Offhand attacks only ever recieve .5x +str damage, regardless of how many hands you wield them with. If you aren't TWFing, you don't have an offhand.

    Primary natural attacks are a creature's main mode of attack. This is typically an attack with either the highest damage, or a combat ability such as Improved Grab. Its also typically the attack a creature makes AoOs and standard action attacks with. Primary natural attacks almost always get 1x Str, although some creatures, especially those with only a single natural weapon, may get 1.5x. There is no hard rule for this though, so consult a stat block for more details. In the presence of a weapon capable of making iteratives (manufactured weapon or UAS), all primary weapons are converted to secondary natural weapons. A natural attack that is full (such as carrying gear or a manufactured weapon) can not make attacks.

    Secondary natural attacks are a creature's alternate modes of attack. During a full attack, each other natural weapon the creature possesses may make 1 attack at -5 from highest AB (-2 with Multiattack). Secondary natural weapons always only receive .5x+Str regardless of whether or not they dealt 1x or 1.5x as primary weapons. A natural attack that is full (such as carrying gear or a manufactured weapon) can not make attacks.



    Unnerving Grace (Ex) ι 1 ι You inspire abstract beauty as well as subtle anxiety.
    • You gain a bonus to both intimidate and diplomacy checks equal to half your ozodrin levels.


    Nightmare (Ex) ι 1 ι You can feel yourself becoming a monster.
    • As a Free Action while in your Guise you may change the color, texture and physique of your True Form.
    • Gain the Shapechanger subtype.
    • Gain a bonus to will saves against fear effects equal to your class level.


    Unlock (Ex) ι 1/6/13/15 ι Choose your destiny.
    • Gain one unlock. Every time you gain an Unlock you may choose between one option listed in Unlocks.
    • You may spend a feat to gain one Unlock.


    Devour (Ex) ι 2 ι Viciously consume pinned foes.
    • When using bite attacks on a pinned opponent you may ignore the attack roll penalty, the limitation on weapon number, and the limitation on attacking that all arise from pinning an opponent.
    • Whenever you successfully bite a pinned opponent you may deal 1 point of con damage and regain 2 hitpoints, this option replaces your bite damage.
    • Whenever you consume a freshly slain corpse you gain 1HP per hit die of the creature.


    Grappling Sidebar
    Spoiler
    Show

    When playing an ozodrin please reference the Pathfinder (aka DnD3.75e) Grapple Rules, the Grappled Condition and the Pinned Condition.


    Full Size Chart


    Primary Stomach (Ex) ι 2 ι Your stomach is a living plane.
    • An ozodrin's stomach functions as an extra-dimensional space. Any or all of an ozodrin's mouths can be considered an opening.
    • Ozodrin's primary stomachs are 20' long per level whether this be a cube or sphere and whenever the ozodrin enters it's guise the oxygen is cut off.
    • The stomach is never significantly larger than its contents; it shrinks to minimize empty space. Creatures inside your stomach are considered to have the Grappled condition.
    • An ozodrin must put an eye inside her stomach to see creatures inside. Creatures touching walls gain only partial concealment.
    • An ozodrin's stomachs counts as separate from her body and have their own AC, DR and Resistances but she may add any feature to it as if it were her body.
    • A primary stomach may be augmented with the Stomach feature augments or the Hide, Iron Flesh or Elemental Organ feature augments.
    • Any object holding a semiplane or extradimensional space put into the ozodrin's stomach takes on the physics of a secondary stomach, but it may not be augmented.
    • Objects, including ones that hold extradimensional spaces may be retrieved from your primary stomach as a Full-Round action.


    Strange Anatomy (Ex) ι 3 ι Your body no longer works like it used to.
    • Gain a 5% chance per ozodrin level to ignore [Critical Hits / Sneak Attacks], [Effects that target your Anatomy (Decapitation, Bone Subsumption, Blood Drain, Ect)], and [Falling Damage], roll to determine upon each instance or attack.
    • Ignore size requirements for gaining feats but only gain their benefits when the size requirements are met.
    • All of your natural weapons may be treated as any other type of natural weapon for the purposes of qualifying for beneficial spells or powers.


    Bizarre Grappler (Ex) ι 4 ι You are adept at grappling with creatures of any size.
    • You gain the Improved Grapple and Snatch feats, even if you do not have the prerequisites.
    • If you already had Improved Grapple, you instead gain a bonus Aberrant feat.
    • If you already had Snatch, you instead gain a +2 untyped bonus to grapple checks.
    • Your Snatch feat works regardless of your size for attacks made against creatures smaller than you.
    • Additionally, you may use Tentacle, Wing, Pincer, Talon and Pseudopodia attacks as if they were Claw attacks for the purposes of the Snatch feat.
    • You ignore your negative size modifiers to grapple checks.


    Unearthly Power (Ex) ι 5 ι Your body holds an eldrich strength.
    • Natural weapons granted by your features gain an enchantment bonus to attack rolls equal to 1/2 your class level.
    • For the purposes of bypassing damage reduction your natural weapons count as magic weapons attuned to your alignment, and at level 15 bypass any damage reduction that has a weakness, including Epic.

    • Weapons carried in this way additionally effects you as if under a nonmagical Graft Weapon power.
    • Furthermore carried items are not actually outside the body, therefore while they can be expended (such as using wand charges, ammunition and strangely enough eating food) they can never be disarmed, stolen or destroyed from outside the body. Any effect or damage targeting your carried object externally instead targets your body.


    Thick
    • You take 1 damage each time your stomach walls take 1 + 1 damage for each Thick augment you have.

    Glamer
    • You may alter the color, lighting, temperature, texture, smell, sound or tactual feeling of your stomach walls and Mimicry however you wish.
    • However this is not a perfect effect. Once per 10 minutes a creature attempts a (DC = Level + Charisma Modifier) perception check. Success means it notices something you've failed to alter correctly or something you've simply forgotten.
    • This does not interfere with the Natural or Infernal stomach augments, succeeding this perception check does not mean a creature ignores other factors that would prevent them from noticing the stomach's nature.


    Natural


    Infernal

    Arch
    • Your stomach augments that duplicate appearances or create illusions do not allow saves or perception checks while creatures are outside the stomach.

    • All creatures within a secondary stomach that holds at least one sarcophagus are effected as if you were applying a heal check to them, which may include such things as torture. If you wish to use a healer's kit (or any physical tool) to effect a patient, you must be able to manipulate it in the square of the patient.
    • As a Full-Round-Action you may open or close any or all of your sarcophagi and each one may hold one creature.
    • A creature enclosed in a sarcophagus for at least an hour is effected by a nonmagical Mythic Breath of Life effect. Creatures who have been dead for up to 10 minutes before being enclosed in the sarcophagus may be revived in this way and are inflicted with a random madness, after recovering from this madness the patient's alignment takes one step towards Chaotic Evil to reflect the long term psychological damage. This alignment change cannot be reverted with psionics or magic.

    Once great cities littered these kingdoms, filled with happiness and prosperity, but now they have all fallen to ruin and the Uncanny wander as lost relics of an age long forgotten.

    Uncanny are constructs designed to entertain the people of the cities that built them, once they entertained squares, courtyards and markets with their dance, music and theater but now dwell in ruins of their cities, slowly falling into disrepair.

    • Substituting natural attacks for weapon attacks does not change the aesthetic qualities of the action.
    • For instance you may designate "swords" and "slams": while holding a sword you may make a slam attack with the sword as if it were your slam attack, using your slam's range and damage. If the sword is enchanted you do not benefit from that enchantment as it's effects were suppressed during the attack.

    Swinger

    • You gain the Brachiation racial ability with the exception that instead of using your land speed you must make either a Climb or Acrobatics check and the distance in feet you may travel that round is equal to double your check's result, or double your climb speed if that's higher.
    • Your body does not physically have to travel through terrain that allows you to brachiate if a tentacle or limb could reach it.
    • You may replace the terrain requirements of Branchiation with any surface that is higher than you are and you could climb with a climb speed, you may do this by using a Spider's Thread Organ Spell, Limbs or Tentacles if you have a climb speed, or a Spike Feature with the Harpoon augment at their respective ranges.
    • If you end your turn suspended by a thread, limb, tentacle or spike you are considered to be climbing. On your next turn you must either continue to brachiate, be suspended under your point of contact, or let go.


    Selective Invisibility
    Requires: Ozodrin Level 5, Stealth 8 Ranks
    • Whenever a creature is failing to detect you within your line of sight, as a Free Action you may designate that creature to be able to detect you normally while you’re invisible, silenced, hiding, or otherwise difficult to sense. You may end this effect as an Immediate Action.

    • DC10 Reveals smaller but still commonly known components such as the oil in an engine, a flower in a tuxedo or the type of food in a creature's stomach.
    • DC20 Reveals exact information about accessible components, you would be able to discern the saffron in a soup and tell that it's a spice and a flower.
    • DC20+ Reveals exact information with possibly inaccessible or excessively rare components, such as the blood of an outsider, ink made from the plane of shadow, or the golden ice ravage encrusting a creature.


    Food For Thought
    Requires: Devour (Ex), Suvival 8 Ranks (or) Profession [Cook] 8 Ranks

    CASTING - V / S

    EFFECT:

    Target you or creature touched
    Duration 1 round/level (D)
    Saving Throw Will negates (harmless)

    DESCRIPTION:

    EFFECT:

    Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
    One Creature
    Instantaneous
    Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text
    Spell Resistance: Yes

    DESCRIPTION:

    Deal 1d6 damage per 2 caster levels.
    If the target takes more than half it's hitpoints in damage from this spell it must succeed a Fortitude save or become food.
    The size and type of food is up to the caster as long as it is mundane and weighs equal or less than the effected creature and bears an abstract resemblance or depiction of the creature.
    Food forms of creatures are not dead (though they are detected as if they were dead), and are aware of their surroundings but can take no action.
    The spell Stone to Flesh returns a food form of a creature to normal, though any deformities suffered (such as a missing arm or head) carry over.
    Willingly eating the food form of a creature grants the user Fast Healing 1 for a number of rounds equal to it's hit die (stacking in duration), this replaces any mechanical benefits from eating the creature. Unwilling creatures instead gain no benefit.

    Mindbreak Stalker
    Spoiler: By Merk (a psionic PRC that advances form points if you have ozodrin levels)
    Show
    "Sanity is overrated. Rationality is a crutch for those weak of mind. In order to survive, to be able to stand in the face of unmitigated cosmic horror, you have to discard your mind and your sense of self."

    Going insane is a highly subjective matter. The process manifests itself differently in different people. For many, it involves a slow descent into mindlessness, psychosis, or catatonia. But for a unique set of people, insanity takes a more devious form; that of a madness beast that nests itself deep into the psyche of the individual.

    A madness beast is a being with a horrific form that has its origins in the Far Realms. Those who develop a madness beast will often lose the battle for the autonomy of their own mind. They try to preserve their own elements of logic and rationality, and are destroyed by the beast's psychic onslaught. But there are those who allow themselves to be devoured by the madness beast, and harness its power. One who has successfully discarded his or her mind in order to live with the madness beast is a mindbreak stalker.

    Once he or she has bonded with the madness beast, a mindbreak stalker gains hightened powers of the mind and uses it to survive in situations that even the most powerful of adventurers would find perilous. A mindbreak stalker uses his or her powers in order to infiltrate the deepest, darkest labyrinths where unspeakable horrors lie. While most others would go insane or flee, the mindbreak stalker delves deeper and into realms where reality begins to break down from inside-out.

    A mindbreak stalker is most definitely insane, but not in the typical sense. Because of their co-existence with the madness beast, they are able to act autonomously and with the agency of a sane person. However, their eyes are different from a normal person's. They exude an aura that seems altogether... inhuman. Their personalities, the risks they take, the quirks they exhibit all point to an all-devouring madness that engulfs them.

    And they thrive in that madness.

    BECOMING A MINDBREAK STALKER

    The classes most suited to becoming mindbreak stalkers are factotums, psychic rogues, and soulknives; all of whom can easily meet the skill requirements and who benefit most from the mindbreak stalker's enhanced stealth and psionic abilities. Kineticist and egoist psions with training in stealth also sometimes enter this class. Entering this class without stealth skills or psionic skills as class skills is prohibitive, so this isn't suited to most other classes.


    Entry Requirements

    Alignment: Any chaotic.
    Skills: Autohypnosis 5 ranks, Hide 5 ranks, Move Silently 5 Ranks, Knowledge (psionics) 5 ranks. (+3 each for 3.5)
    Feats: Aberrant Blood*, Darkstalker (Lords of Madness).
    Special: Must have 5 ranks in Knowledge (forbidden lore). (+3 for 3.5)
    Special: Must have been previously reduced to 0 or less Sanity.

    *This feat may be waived if the character is already an Aberration (such as an Elan or an Illithid).

    Class Features

    Ozodrin Advancement You aberrant powers grow ever stronger.
    • Levels in Mindbreak Stalker stack with Ozodrin levels for determining form points


    Powers Known You continue to advance your psionic abilities.
    • At every level except 1st, 6th, and 10th, a Mindbreak Stalker gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if she had also gained a level in whatever manifesting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class.
    • She does not gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation feats, and so on).
    • This essentially means that she adds the level of Mindbreak Stalker to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly.
    • If a character had more than one manifesting class before she became a Mindbreak Stalker, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of mindbreak stalker for the purpose of determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.


    Ravages of the Shattered Mind (Ex) ι 1 ι You are permanently, irrevocably insane.
    • A Mindbreak Stalker is immune to sanity damage and effects, and is treated as having a permanent Sanity stat of -10 for any purpose. This does not prevent the character from being controlled by a player.
    • The Mindbreak Stalker automatically has a number of ranks in forbidden lore equal to his hit dice +3, but cannot increase the number of ranks in this skill through any means. If the she already has more ranks in forbidden lore than this limit, those ranks remain, but cannot be increased until his hit dice 3 again exceeds his current ranks.
    • The mindbreak stalker develops five phobias or obsessions at each of these intervals. Whenever a mindbreak stalker encounters the object of his phobia or obsession, he is subject to a -2 penalty on saves, attacks, and skill checks while in its presence. Consult with your DM for appropriate phobias or obsessions. If you encounter multiple objects of your phobias or obsessions at the same time, the penalties are cumulative.
    • At each even-numbered class level, the madness beast devours one of the mindbreak stalker's phobias or obsessions, and the mindbreak stalker no longer is subject to a penalty with respect to that phobia or obsession.

    Spoiler: Example Phobias and Obsessions
    Show
    Phobias
    • Acrophobia: You are afraid of heights.
    • Hydrophoba: You are afraid of water.
    • Hypnophobia: You are scared of sleep.
    • Pyrophobia: You are afraid of fire.
    • Uranophobia: You are afraid of the heavens & divine magic.


    Obsessions
    • You have a drug disorder.
    • You are a kleptomaniac, and compulsively grab everything you can.
    • You have an irrational preference for prime numbers.
    • You spend hours a day cleaning and polishing your equipment.
    • You cannot look into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex.
    • You are addicted to the sensation of chewing.
    • Any sort of music disturbs you.


    Mindbreak (Su) ι 1 ι You can attack the very minds of the unwary.
    • When a mindbreak stalker attacks an enemy who would be denied their dexterity bonus to AC or if the mindbreak stalker is flanking her target, she may assault her target's mind with an attack.
    • She deals additional dice of damage on her attack and does 1 point of Sanity damage per mindbreak die on each attack.
    • This ability is mind-affecting in nature, and not precision damage, and so affects creatures immune to sneak attacks and critical hits, but does not affect mindless creatures.
    • Ranged attacks can mindbreak only if the target is within 30 ft.


    Serenity of the Infinite Depths (Ex) ι 2 ι Your mind has been warped and fortified by the madness beast.
    • The Mindbreak Stalker receives a bonus on saving throws against fear, charm, and compulsion effects equal to half her class level.


    Step into Disarray (Ps) ι 3/9 ι You learn to use the Far Realms as a conduit for travel.
    • At 3rd level, a Mindbreak Stalker may teleport as if using Psionic Dimension Door. The Mindbreak Stalker also adds Psionic Dimension Door to her list of known powers as a bonus power known.
    • At 9th level, a Mindbreak Stalker may transport himself, along with up to eight willing allies, to the Far Realms, as if manifesting Psionic Plane Shift. Her companions are likewise extended the physical and mental protection afforded to the Mindbreak Stalker so long as they accompany her in this method. The Mindbreak Stalker may transport herself and his allies back to whichever plane they came from without spending another using of this ability. The Mindbreak Stalker also adds Psionic Plane Shift to his list of known powers as a bonus power known.
    • Using either ability, the Mindbreak Stalker has an effective manifester level equal to her hit dice, and the powers are automatically augmented when applicable. This ability is usable 3 + int mod times per day (for both abilities, so if a Mindbreak Stalker has 6 daily uses, he may use the dimension door power four times and the plane shift power twice, or use all six for the dimension door power).


    Alien Sneak (Ex) ι 3 ι You can conceal yourself from the most unnatural creatures.
    • A Mindbreak Stalker receives a bonus equal to her class level on hide and move silently checks opposed against any creature with extraordinary or supernatural senses (such as scent or tremorsense) and against any creature who has augmented senses through magic or psionic abilities. Low-light vision and darkvision do not count for the purposes of granting this bonus, unless magically granted.


    Delusion's Gaze (Su) ι 4/8 ι The eyes of the madness beast see with the clarity of unmitigated insanity.
    • At 4th level, the Mindbreak Stalker gains blindsense out to 30 feet.
    • At 8th level, the Mindbreak Stalker's blindsense improves to 60 feet. Also at 8th level, while psionically focused, the Mindbreak Stalker can see anything within the range of her blindsense as if she had a Psionic True Seeing effect in place.


    Hide in Plain Sight (Su) ι 5 ι You can hide within the very folds of space.
    • A Mindbreak Stalker may mamke hide checks without cover or concealment as long as she is psionically focused.


    Blade from a Different Dimension (Su) ι 6 ι A Mindbreak Stalker learns how to infuse her weapons with the mind-shattering properties of the Far Planes.
    • Whenever a Mindbreak Stalker of 6th level or higher delivers a mindbreak, she also deals wisdom damage equal to the number of mindbreak dice.
    • If she chooses to, a Mindbreak Stalker may expend her psionic focus when delivering a mindbreak and have her attack automatically bypass any damage reduction or hardness the target may possess.


    Fractal Mindscape (Su) ι 9 ι A Mindbreak Stalker's mindscape is an incomprehensible field of unadulterated horror.
    • a Mindbreak Stalker gains protection from all devices, powers, and spells that influence the mind. This ability shields her against almost all mind-affecting powers and effects (though the Mindbreak Stalker can selectively allow powers or spells to affect her).
    • The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to mentally influence a Mindbreak Stalker. This ability is active as long as the Mindbreak Stalker is psionically focused.


    Psychopathic Phantasmagoria (Su) ι 10 ι The Mindbreak Stalker has fully internalized her insanity, and becomes one with the beast of madness dwelling inside of her.

    For up to ten minutes per day (which need not be consecutive minutes, or even rounds), the Mindbreak Stalker may assume the form of the beast of madness. In this state, she undergoes the following changes:

    • Type changes to Aberration, with the chaotic and psionic subtypes. Do not recalculate base attack bonus, hit dice, saves, or skills.
    • Any items or equipment meld into her new form and cannot be used.
    • The Mindbreak Stalker has continuous psionic focus (it is never "expended"; or equivalently, focus is immediately regained after it is spent)
    • The Mindbreak Stalker gains power resistance equal to 15 + hit dice.
    • The Mindbreak Stalker has an effective manifester equal to her hit dice.
    • The Mindbreak Stalker temporarily gains any three [aberrant] feats (Lords of Madness). Feats gained in this manner are lost when the form is dismissed and cannot be used to qualify for other feats or prestige classes; however, the feats can help to qualify for themselves (so the 1st feat can qualify for the 2nd feat, etc.). When taking temporary [aberrant] feats in this manner, it is not necessary for the mindbreak stalker to have the Aberrant Blood feat.
    • If the Mindbreak Stalker has levels in Ozodrin, she gains FP up to her total HD.


    This form may be assumed or dismissed as a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. After dismissing the madness beast form, the Mindbreak Stalker is exhausted for 1 minute.

    The Transcendent Scion
    Spoiler: By Matar (a cross between the ozodrin and the True Xenothurgist class by Realm of Chaos).
    Show
    And so, The Witness of Forlorn Memories was intrigued. The disturbance was neglectable in size, and infinitely fragile, and yet it held many secrets. There were laws inside the tiny bubble that none of the Elder Minds had ever dreamt up, causes following effects, linear time, three dimensions of space closely intertwined.
    The Witness of Forlorn Memories extended a fine tendril of his essence towards the disturbance carefully peeling apart it's outer layers and reaching for it's core.
    But suddenly, as he touched the strange reality within, the tendril was severed from him by an unknown force, because, unbeknownst to him, the powers of that reality had felt and dreaded his incursion, and trapped his essence in a mortal shell, forever to be bound in that little creature's descendants.
    The Witness of Forlorn Memories pondered this for a grand cycle and a half, until he felt something new, a bright and tiny spark of his own essence had freed itself from the disturbance inside him. He parted his layers and studied the spark, and he knew it.
    And so, the seed of a new Elder Mind was born.


    -The Codex of Forbidden Dreams

    Outside reality, beyond the boundaries of Time, Space and logic, lies the Far Realm, home to entities vast and powerful, perhaps more so than even the gods. Few ever notice the tiny bubble of reality, but those that do sometimes invest a tiny spark of their own essence in it, to grow and mature. This spark attaches itself to the consciousness of a newborn or weak-minded creature, displacing it's soul in the process.
    Scions are those born with such a spark, manifesting most often as an unusually powerful talent for Xenotheurgy. The feeling of not belonging in this world never entirely leaves them, and some of them seek to return to the place calling to them, the Far Realms. These become Transcendent Scions, developing their talents and seeking their "True Form".

    Entry Requirements
    Skills: Knowledge: the Planes 5 ranks, Knowledge: Dungeoneering 5 ranks (+3 each for 3.5)
    Feats: Twisted Incursion or Rift Walker, Decentralized Body
    Special: Must know at least four murmurs, one of which must be Endless Evolution. Must be able to form the Tentacle feature.

    *This feat may be waived if the character is already an Aberration (such as an Elan or an Illithid).

    Unless otherwise noted, when an ability calls for a save the DC is 10+1/2 Your Xenotheurgy level + stat added to your will save.

    In addition, your other features gain the following augments.
    Augment Benefit Requires Maximum

    Silver Spittle
    • Your bite attack now deals force damage.

    Weeping Infection
    • This feature is added to an Eye feature or natural eye. This eye becomes blind and loses any gaze attacks it may posses.

    • Anyone who consumes the Cosmic Protoplasm (Either via taint or simply drinking it, contact is not sufficient) is effected by the Breach, although saves still apply if necessary.
    • This is good for one use; if you taint a large amount of food and several people eat it only the first one to consume it is effected.
    • The effects of this feature last for 24 hours, after which the Cosmic Protoplasm dissipates as normal and the Breach is wasted.
    • After 24 hours, the FP are regained.

    2. After three rounds of being constantly injected with Cosmic Protoplasm the target rolls a fortitude save.
    3. If they fail they explode and are reduced below -10 HP, dead. This feature may be added to multiple tentacles, but doing so does not speed up the time it takes to make a target explode.



    Puppeteer of Insanity (Ex) ι 2 ι You pull on the strings of madness like the greatest of puppeteers.
    One per day you may activate any of the following effects as an immediate action. You gain an additional use of this ability for every four levels, to a maximum of three times per day at level 10.
    • Alter Gray-Matter: You twist and pull at your mind, replacing one active murmur with an inactive one. When doing so, switch the levels of the newly active murmur and the newly inactive murmur.
    • Close/Open the Gate: You may choose to gain or lose two warp points.
    • Break the Walls: You may active another Incursion from an active Murmur the same round you use this ability as an immediate action. This Incursion then lasts its normal amount of time. This stacks with any other active Incursion you have.

    Seeping Through (Ex) ι 2 ι Remnants and traces of their far realm origin manifest all around the character.
    You can no longer suppress the disturbances gained from any of your murmurs.

    Murmur (Su) ι 3/6/9/12/15/18 ι The rip inside you grows ever wider, each day.

    Countless Cracks
    • The chance to avoid a piercing attack is increased by 10%.


    Pathway
    • Creatures no more than one size category larger than you may now enter your square. When they do so, they may teleport to any location within 10 ft. of your square.
    • You have no control over where they teleport (they pick the location), nor may you limit who can use you to teleport, although enemies entering your square draw AoO’s as normal.
    • Taking this augment multiple times increases the teleport range by 10 each time.


    Twisted Artery
    • This feature allows you to slightly alter the shape of any area-of-effect Breach that you cast. You may ‘move’ 5x5x5 foot square of the Breaches area-of-effect to anywhere within the Breaches normal range.
    • An example of this is casting an Area-of-effect Breach at a group of enemies surrounding an ally and shaping it to not effect your allies square, whilst moving the displaced effect to an enemy behind you.
    • Taking this augment multiple times allows you to move multiple squares of range.


    In addition, your other features gain the following augments.

    Show

    Internal Walkway
    • When using the swallow whole ability with an affected mouth, instead of putting the creature inside your stomach you may instead teleport them to a location of your choosing, with a range no more then that allowed by your Pathway feature.

    Piercing Sight
    • The effected eye is now capable of seeing through up to 10 feet of solid material. This allows you to see through a wall, clothing, or the cover of a book.
    • Although this does not grant you the ability to see in fog or darkness you may ‘look past’ it, in order to see creatures or objects on the other side.
    • Taking this augment multiple times allows you to increase the range by 10ft. each time.

    Broken Tentacle
    • Your tentacle may now ‘phase through’ ten feet of matter (limited to your tentacles length). This allows you to attack creatures, grapple, or interact with anything in the tentacles reach. Doing this does no damage to what you’re phasing through.
    • Taking this augment multiple times allows you to increase the range the tentacle can phase through by 10ft each time, still limited by the tentacle's length.




    Aberrant Adaptation (Ex) | 5 | Your mind grows as flexible as your body.
    • You gain a single aberrant feat of your choice, so long as you meet the requirements.
    • Once every 24 hours, after at least 8 hours of rest, you may change this aberrant feat to any other aberrant feat, so long as you meet the requirements.


    Broken Form (Ex) | 6 | The line between your guise and your aberrant form grows far narrower.
    • You may have a number of features active in your normal form so long as the feature points do not exceed 1/4 your character level.
    • These points count against your form point total and do not work in your manifested form. For example, if you have four extra eyes in your normal form you lose four feature points and when you manifest form you lose these eyes until you transform back. Finally, you gain the Conservative Form feat as a bonus feat.


    Unlock (Ex) | 7 | Choose your destiny.
    • Choose one option listed in Unlocks.

    Spoiler: Augment List

    Insane Reality
    • If the target of one of your Breaches fails to pass their save they must immediately roll a will-save. If they fail they are treated as if having activated a single Incursion that you know.
    • This Incursion is chosen by you, from either your inactive or active murmur list and the effects of this Incursion are based upon your Breach level.
    • The target takes all penalties associated with using an Incursion, for all intents and purposes they’re the one who used it.


    In addition, your other features gain the following augments.
    Augment Benefit Requires Maximum
    Mental Feast Devour deals wis dmg. Target becomes insane at 0 wis. Madness, Mouth 1/2 Mouths
    Traitorous Flesh Grow tentacles on other creatures. Madness, Tentacle 1/Tentacle
    The Eye Confused creatures act as if charmed. Madness, Eye Once
    Spoiler: Augment List
    Show

    Mental Feast
    • This augment may effect up to two mouths.
    • If an affected mouth is used to Devour a creature the mouth deals Wisdom damage instead of Constitution damage. If the targets Wisdom is reduced to 0 they are driven Insane, as per the spell.
    • The effects of this feature only work on creatures inside the area of your Madness feature (60ft), and if the mouth with this feature devours a creature outside of it devour does its normal constitution damage.


    Traitorous Flesh
    As a free action you may plant the affected tentacle on any creature within the area of the Madness feature (60ft).
    This tentacle may be used to attack or grapple and acts on your turn. The tentacle is considered an object and has HP equal to double your HD and a hardness equal to one-half your HD. You may use this tentacle as part of your full-round attack. If the tentacle is destroyed you take damage equal to its hardness and may not redistribute the points spent on it for one minute.

    The Eye
    • Any creatures that the affected eyes look at that are Confused, are instead treated as being Charmed.
    • They do not act randomly (and as such do not roll to determine what they do). A single eye may only watch a single creature at a time.
    • This only affects creatures who are inside the area of the Madness feature (60ft).



    Shattered Limitations (Ex) | 9 | You surpass the limitations of even the most alien beings
    • All Aberrations and creatures native to the Far-Realms must roll a will-save or treat you as Friendly. Even if they pass their will-save they treat you as Indifferent if they would normally be Unfriendly or Hostile.
    • Creatures that are Indifferent to you because of this ability treat you an oddity. Although they sub-consciously recognize you as their “better,” they are still able to contain themselves, or simply reject the thought as a brief moment of madness. An example of this would be a Beholder that speaks with you in order to try to understand what you are. If it doesn't like your answers it may still attack, and chances are it won’t like your answers.
    • Creatures that treat you as Friendly because of this ability believe you to be perfect. A paragon of madness and everything they want to be. An Illithid under the effects of this ability would treat with a great deal of hospitality and respect, while a Beholder might simply wander off in confusion over the very idea that anything might have a greater form then themselves.
    • Regardless of the save you also gain a +4 to all social skills when dealing with Aberrations and native Far-Realm beings.

    Realization of the Perfect Form (Ex) | 10 | Reality itself shatters under your power as you take control of what it once held.
    • You may activate this ability only when one of your Incursions is active and centered upon you. Doing so takes a full-round action and overlaps with your active Incursion. Ending this effect takes longer, requiring a full hour of uninterrupted concentration where you may not partake in any stressful actions. If you have multiple active incursions you must select which one you wish to use to activate this ability.
    • The area of Realization of the Perfected Form is equal to that of the Incursion used to active it. It has three sections, a Peripheral, a Marrow and a Heart. The Peripheral is equal in size to the Peripheral of the Incursion used. The Marrow is equal in size to the Marrow of the Incursion used. The Heart occupies the area you do when you shift.
    • Movement while shifted is impossible. Vast as you are, your body is contained by the crushing weight of reality. Although “parts” of your new form may be moved around, taking them outside of the area only reverts them back to there normal form, dealing no damage to you. Any features on these objects instantly dissolve and you do not regain those feature points for 24 hours. Any attempts to move the Incursion (such as with the Displace Incursion feat) automatically fail.


    The abilities of each “section” of Realization of the Perfected Form are as follows.
    • The Heart: The Heart is the beating center of your new form.
    • All of your equipped items are merged into this new form and rendered inert.
    • You lose your Dodge AC, although you gain a bonus to your natural AC equal to half your HD.
    • You are treated as an Aberration or Construct for the purpose of spells; whichever is more beneficial for the Scion at the moment.
    • Your new form is completely helpless without any features added upon it. It lacks a head and has no eyes or ears, limbs, neck, or even a proper body to equip even basic armor; in essence you are treated as having no item slots.
    • Although called “The Heart” you may take any shape that fits your aesthetic desire, such as a pulsating brain or mass of worms, so long as it fits the previous criteria. Once your shape is chosen however it may not be changed for the duration of the effect.
    • The Marrow: The Marrow is a massive area that becomes your new body.
    • You may sense all creatures in its area as if you possessed Tremorsense.
    • You may form and remove features in this area as a free action, but you may only do so for a specific feature once per round. You may not, for example, form a feature, attack with it, and remove it all in one round.
    • In order to use a Breach you must have a feature within 60 feet of the target, which must have been formed for at least one round.
    • All features in this form have, unless otherwise stated, an AC value equal to yours along with five HP. The features saves are equal to yours.
    • For every feature killed, you take a quarter of the damage. If a feature is reduced to 0 HP it is destroyed and you instantly regain half the feature points spent on it, the other half of which you regain after 24 hours.
    • Teleportation and Plane-Shifting in the area of a Marrow is difficult. The Marrow is treated as if effected by Dimensional Lock, which has a caster level equal to your HD and can not be dispelled or suppressed.
    • The Peripheral: The Peripheral is treated like the Marrow but with the following exceptions: You do not have Tremorsense in its area of effect. Features take a move action to form or remove. A feature must be within 30 feet in order to use a Breach. Teleportation and Plane-Shifting is not barred. Note: This only applies to the area of the Peripheral –outside- of the Marrow.

    Hello Veterans, I know there are some massive changes made in the transition from Owrtho's Ozodrin and the current build, but hopefully this section will help the transition.

    Conversion

    Spoiler: Changes Between Versions (Owrtho's Ozodrin -> Ozodrin 2.X)
    Show

    The first thing to keep in mind is that while the Ozodrin works very well with the Aberration flavor it's no longer a requirement, and that the Ozodrin now comes in different flavors called Archetypes.

    Features
    All features now cost 1 Form Point.
    By default an Ozodrin gains access to these features at level 1: Eye, Mouth, Tentacle, Limb and Organ.
    More features can be unlocked, even at early levels: Spawn, Spike, Fin, Puppet and Stomach
    Removing a feature is now a free action.
    • Eye: The eye feature now grants a non-defined amount of eyes.
    • Mouth: The mouth feature no longer needs to lead to a stomach, so it can be abstracted to a pair of scissors or a clamp.
    • Tentacle: As with most of the features which grant attacks the Many augment allows you to have an unlimited number of tentacles.
    • Limb: Limb is now separated into Sub, Minor and True, a sub limb is similar to an insectile template limb, a minor limb is similar to a diopsid limb and a true limb is similar to a golem's limb, this is to give the player options while maintaining the actual balance required for gaining limbs.
    • Organ: Most of the special abilities of the ozodrin's features have been moved into a centralized system. Organs allow you to cast spell-like and psi-like abilities emulated by other augments, and it has replaced the functionality of Flesh and Special Eyes. If you see something missing from the Ozodrin then it's likely ended up in the Spell/Psi list!
    • Spike: While spike functions as a ranged option it's now paired with organ and feats to provide it's "syringe" flavor.
    • Fin: Fin is no longer a combat option by default, it offers a wide array of potent mobility options.
    • Spawn: Spawn has been completely redone, it allows the Ozodrin to be summoner even at early levels.
    • Puppet: Puppet and Lure Trap have been merged and are available at low levels, though they have been changed.
    • Stomach: Secondary stomachs as well as the primary stomach has been changed, it now also augments your class feature.


    More to come

    How to convert a 3.5 Ozodrin using Owrtho's Ozodrin:

    Work in Progress



    Pathfinder
    The ozodrin now uses Pathfinder (Dungeons and Dragons 3.75 Edition), as such it has some positive mechanical changes we'll discuss.




    Ozodrin Remix 3.5
    Spoiler: 3.5 Conversion Rules
    Show


    Ozodrin Remix was designed with keeping it balanced for players wanting to play it in 3.5 (Ozodrin 3.5 + Pathfinder = [3.P]) so converting to 3.5 is fairly painless, though there are a few things to keep in mind:

    Combat
    • +X CMB = +X bonus to all combat maneuvers when used offensively.
    • +X CMD = +X bonus to all combat maneuver checks when they are used on you.
    • CMD Optional Rule #1 = You may add your dexterity once to checks against combat maneuvers used on you.
    • CMD Optional Rule #2 = You may choose between Dexterity and Strength for combat maneuver checks used on you.


    Skills
    • +X Acrobatics = +X Balance, +X Jump, +X Tumble
    • +X Perception = +X Listen, +X Spot, +X Search
    • +X Stealth = +X Hide, +X Move Silently


    Feats
    • Pathfinder characters gain feats every 2 levels where as 3.5 characters gain feats every 3.
    • Feat Optional Rule #1 = Remove excess feats.
    • Feat Optional Rule #2 = Disable excess feats until they could have been gained.
    • Feat Optional Rule #3 = Lower your maximum Form Points by 1 for every excess feat you have.
    • Feat Optional Rule #4 = Use 3.5's Unearthed Arcana Flaw System to allow extra feats.


    Requirements
    • When something requires skill ranks as a requirement increase this number by 3.


    For more data, view the 3.5 to Pathfinder conversion guide for more details.

    Thanks!

    I've been working on the remake for a few months now and it's finally coming together. There's a lot of changes from the original, let me know if there's any changes you dislike and I will do my best to create an optimized end-result.

    @Tether
    Thank you kindly, the core class feature list is done but the alternative features have not been created.
    Animats are features designed to be wildly creative, at core they are tentacles or limbs.
    Objects are meant to fit a misc. role, they are intended to play a part similar to the Organ feature.
    The reason behind the severe limitation on feature types is that the tether's feature composition work more similarly to Astral Constructs, so the mechanics are less picky due to the higher aesthetic options... you could have midna energy hair arms or doctor octopus claws or animated chains or a sword made of your soul and it would be the same feature.
    Really when it comes down to it on that end, a bite attack is just a damage type and an attack, which can be solved through Multi and Strike augments, it'll just be another option with strike to apply the damage type, or a 1FP increase to make any feature instead deal S/P/B damages at the tether's discretion.


    Is there anything with the ozodrin, tether or other archetypes you would like to see expanded upon?

    As a starter: "Bio" is never explained, and many places have awkward phrasing and/or grammatical errors. I'll go through it sometime this week and find the specifics. Also, Spawn apparently have a Bio ability with a cost of zero.

    Preliminarily, though, it doesn't really seem any simpler to work with than the original Ozodrin, except in that you will have less options to work with unless you use valuable feats on getting more features. This is akin to saying that it's simpler to play a Beguiler than a Wizard - well, yes, technically it is, but that's because you lose out on a lot.

    (this example is intentionally exaggerated because I can't think of a closer example, as Sorcerer frequently doesn't lose out on enough to matter, but it should get the point across).

    Those are good points, the features section is still WiP as is technically the entire class.

    @Bio
    Bio's fluff is that it's a mixture between biological, magic and psionic energy.
    Bio's mechanic is that it's designed as a battery for abilities, allowing the ozodrin to charge up an internal reserve and unleash it for abilities that are too powerful to allow the ozodrin access to otherwise. This allows players to far exceed the normal limitations for the default ozodrin's balance horizon.

    Critique is highly encouraged, I really want to hear more about what fixes need to be made with the system to increase it's capability and it's balance/style of presentation. The ideal scenario would be to get this class as polished as possible.

    [*]Delicious - [0] - You may take a move action to consume 2 spawn within reach to gain 1 bio.
    If this is the bio ability with a 0 bio cost you referred to then it's 0 because the intention is to sacrifice spawn to create bio if you run empty. The alternative is to give it a bio cost of 1 and a gain of 2.
    The Bio Usage bar may not be needed, thoughts?

    @Feat Unlocked Features
    Great point!
    The change was made for a few reasons...
    After you deconstruct features you find that you're actually gaining the versatility of their unlock at certain levels and in terms of balance progression is rated equal or less than a feat gain.
    What this means is that by gaining it as a feat instead of at a certain level you are free spend your feats as you wish when you wish, if at all (feat unlocks will count as aberrant feats though).
    Players who for instance never want to have fins because it doesn't make sense to their character don't have to have the ability, or they may purchase it at level 1 because it makes TOTAL sense for their character to have.
    The gaining of feat unlocks is balanced in two ways, first you have additional bonus aberrant feats gained periodically (balanced by aberrant affinity's feat stacking fix), and secondly as long as the unlocks remain less valuable than a feat then the unlock feats are free to grant additional bonuses to balance their worth as needed between the small variances of feature's utility.

    @Simplification
    If you compare owrtho's ozodrin to the remix you'll find a few things a lot cleaner in execution.
    For instance, try making a puppet, a 12 tentacle horror with varying tentacles and abilities, an army of spawn, ect. and see how it compares on the sheet, on the grid, and how easy it is to swap out when at the table.
    The ozodrin is a huge project because of the way it runs, not the capabilities it has. While most classes have cleanly modular systems that their abilities are run through and changed daily or hourly the ozodrin may literally change themselves in or between combat which can summon a NIGHTMARE for both the player stuck between turns and the DM having to cater to this.
    The end goal of the ozodrin remake is to cater perfectly to the table-side player and DM so the ozodrin runs about as hot as a caster. This is why the Bio system was put in, an ozodrin with a few extra minutes can customize some spell effects similar to how a divine caster can surf around while readying her daily spells.
    The other issue was that owrtho's ozodrin thread had died, this is more about a proper thread remake than some miraculous fightermonkfixesque solution to a very high-maintenance class, though I would like to think with enough thought and consideration it can become very clean.

    @Capability
    I would love to hear what you want to ozodrin to be able to do, whether it be something I haven't added in yet from the old version or something you'd just like to see.

    Please use quotes on anything that needs fixing, I'm sure there are several things at least!

    Any more thoughts?

    Default Re: Tooth and Tentacle Remix [3.P] [PEACH]

    So, I said I'd go through it and see what I could come up with for typoes and confusing bits and suchlike. Here we go:

    Post 2:
    Manifest:
    • Bulletpoint 2: The inability to add or remove features would work better down in "Features", where it actually talks about the adding and removing of features.
    • Bulletpoint 4: Manifest seems like it should be capitalized. This specific usage refers to the ability, which is a proper noun, not the verb.

    Features:
    • Should this really be the same ability as Manifest? It messes with the flow a bit to do that, and the only real gain is removing one term from the table.
    • There is inconsistency and redundancy between bulletpoints 1, 6, and 7 - You say that features can be added and removed twice. Also, what is the action type for removing features?
    • In place of bulletpoint 1, I would suggest "You can add/remove features to/from your true form while in your worldly guise," then if any ability enables changing features while manifested, just say so there. This also removes the need for bulletpoint 4.
    • By how you have written it, a first-level Ozodrin has access to all of [Eye, Mouth, Tentacle, Limb, and Organ], but on going to second level and taking a level in, say, Barbarian, they can suddenly only use one of those at a time.
    • Bulletpoint 5 is awkwardly phrased. I'm not sure how to rephrase it because I'm not sure what it's actually saying - what does the size of a feature actually indicate or effect? As best as I can figure, all that the size affects is whether you can make it smaller, the damage die of the feature, what you can Swallow Whole (if the feature is a mouth), and whether you can put it on a Blunt Tentacle (which has other problems that I will get to when I get down there). Bulletpoint 5, as written, eliminates all of these factors except for the damage die, and none of these factors have any way of appearing in any situation where Bulletpoint 5 does not. Please clarify this.
    • "Unless otherwise noted" is an implied part of every single rule in the system, unless there's some feat or feature I'm unaware of that specifically bans modification by other, more specific rules.

    Form Points:
    • Bulletpoint 2 could be better phrased as "Form points spent on features are regained when those features are removed."


    Natural Attacks Sidebar:
    • Everything before the Special Ozodrin Rules is just a restatement of the core Natural Attack rules, and does not need to be present.
    • In the Special Ozodrin Rules:
    • Bulletpoint 3 should read "other than its Ozodrin class levels" and "it may choose to use natural attacks from that source as primary natural attacks instead," as other classes (or, generally, other non-race things) could be a source of natural attacks.

      Unnerving Grace should say "to Intimidate and Diplomacy checks".

      Aberrant Affinity should omit the word "strong" in Bulletpoint 2 and should include a clause for the case in which the Ozodrin has more Abberant feats than min(1+[max{WIS, INT}], level), such as low mental stats, mental ability damage, or some source of bonus feats (possibly in Gestalt).


    Devour:
    • Bulletpoint 3, being optional, should be separate from the main class. I would suggest putting optional rules with either Archetypes or Character Options (or in a separate post entirely).
    • Bulletpoint 5 should append "... after this time, items will generally have been digested" for clarity (otherwise, it could be read that they would be retrievable by someone who was later swallowed).


    The Grappling Sidebar, like the Natural Attacks Sidebar, is a restatement of core rules and does not need to be present.

    Primary Stomach:
    • Bulletpoint 3 should say "A creature of a given size category counts as four creatures of the next smaller size category."
    • Bulletpoint 4 would be better phrased as "The stomach is never significantly larger than its contents; it shrinks to minimize empty space."
    • Bulletpoint 5 should say "Creatures inside the stomach gain full concealment from the Ozodrin, or partial concealment if they are touching the stomach walls, unless the Ozodrin can see them (generally by placing an eye in its stomach)." As-is, they get partial concealment when touching it, and no concealment otherwise.


    Strange Anatomy:
    • As written, Bulletpoint 1 is bypassed by abilities which allow critical hits or sneak attacks against constructs. Was this intended?
    • "And" in Bulletpoint 2 should be replaced with "but only" for clarity.
    • Again, optional rules should not be in the main class.


    Bizzare Grappler:
    This is disorganized, and some parts are awkward or redundant. It can be replaced with:
    Bizarre Grappler (Ex): You are adept at grappling with creatures of any size.
    • You gain the Improved Grapple and Snatch feats, even if you do not have the prerequisites.
    • If you already had Improved Grapple, you instead gain a bonus Aberrant feat.
    • If you already had Snatch, you instead gain a +2 untyped bonus to grapple checks.
    • Your Snatch feat works, regardless of your size, for attacks made with any feature of Large or larger size.
    • You ignore your negative size modifiers to grapple checks.
    The "qualifying for prerequisites as though you had the feats" line is meaningless, because you do have those feats.

    Strange Movement:
    Bulletpoint 3 is missing "move with Strange Movement" before the bold bit.
    Bulletpoint 5 should read "If you try to teleport to a location already occupied by a solid object, you are shunted automatically to the nearest open space. This uses Strange Movement distance as normal, and deals 1d4 damage per 5' beyond your daily limit.

    1
    More to come.

    • Bulletpoint 5 is awkwardly phrased. I'm not sure how to rephrase it because I'm not sure what it's actually saying - what does the size of a feature actually indicate or effect? As best as I can figure, all that the size affects is whether you can make it smaller, the damage die of the feature, what you can Swallow Whole (if the feature is a mouth), and whether you can put it on a Blunt Tentacle (which has other problems that I will get to when I get down there). Bulletpoint 5, as written, eliminates all of these factors except for the damage die, and none of these factors have any way of appearing in any situation where Bulletpoint 5 does not. Please clarify this.
    • "Unless otherwise noted" is an implied part of every single rule in the system, unless there's some feat or feature I'm unaware of that specifically bans modification by other, more specific rules.

    Form Points:
    • Bulletpoint 2 could be better phrased as "Form points spent on features are regained when those features are removed."


    Natural Attacks Sidebar:
    • Everything before the Special Ozodrin Rules is just a restatement of the core Natural Attack rules, and does not need to be present.
    • In the Special Ozodrin Rules:
    • Bulletpoint 3 should read "other than its Ozodrin class levels" and "it may choose to use natural attacks from that source as primary natural attacks instead," as other classes (or, generally, other non-race things) could be a source of natural attacks.

      Unnerving Grace should say "to Intimidate and Diplomacy checks".

      Aberrant Affinity should omit the word "strong" in Bulletpoint 2 and should include a clause for the case in which the Ozodrin has more Abberant feats than min(1+[max{WIS, INT}], level), such as low mental stats, mental ability damage, or some source of bonus feats (possibly in Gestalt).


    Devour:
    • Bulletpoint 3, being optional, should be separate from the main class. I would suggest putting optional rules with either Archetypes or Character Options (or in a separate post entirely).
    • Bulletpoint 5 should append "... after this time, items will generally have been digested" for clarity (otherwise, it could be read that they would be retrievable by someone who was later swallowed).


    The Grappling Sidebar, like the Natural Attacks Sidebar, is a restatement of core rules and does not need to be present.

    Primary Stomach:
    • Bulletpoint 3 should say "A creature of a given size category counts as four creatures of the next smaller size category."
    • Bulletpoint 4 would be better phrased as "The stomach is never significantly larger than its contents; it shrinks to minimize empty space."
    • Bulletpoint 5 should say "Creatures inside the stomach gain full concealment from the Ozodrin, or partial concealment if they are touching the stomach walls, unless the Ozodrin can see them (generally by placing an eye in its stomach)." As-is, they get partial concealment when touching it, and no concealment otherwise.


    Strange Anatomy:
    • As written, Bulletpoint 1 is bypassed by abilities which allow critical hits or sneak attacks against constructs. Was this intended?
    • "And" in Bulletpoint 2 should be replaced with "but only" for clarity.
    • Again, optional rules should not be in the main class.


    Bizzare Grappler:
    This is disorganized, and some parts are awkward or redundant. It can be replaced with:

    The "qualifying for prerequisites as though you had the feats" line is meaningless, because you do have those feats.

    Strange Movement:
    Bulletpoint 3 is missing "move with Strange Movement" before the bold bit.
    Bulletpoint 5 should read "If you try to teleport to a location already occupied by a solid object, you are shunted automatically to the nearest open space. This uses Strange Movement distance as normal, and deals 1d4 damage per 5' beyond your daily limit.

    1
    More to come.

    First off, thanks so much with your thorough read and PEACH, I will do my best to deliver refinements and improve the class!
    It highly motivates me to have external input on the class and I appreciate your help setting it up!

    @General
    Looking carefully at the flow of learning the class I think it would be best to write a general intro to the ozodrin, outlining their mechanics and how they work. I may get this set up in an infographics fashion and if not then just a small guide on how to build them and will allow DM's easier understanding on how the class works without having to browse.

    @Manifest
    -Text bolded, capped and moved to increase concise flow.
    -"Worldly Guise" condensed to "Guise" (it's a tad blunt but it works better for reference, it can be re-fluffed in the fluff section later).
    -I've made Features (Ex) it's own ability, you are right about manifest and features being better separate, but I see this more being an advantage to external usage than internal (internally it works slightly better). Archetypes, PrCs, ect. would all benefit from separation. --I'll redo the archetype tables later.

    @Features
    -Cleaned up, made more concise.
    -Size rule removed for now, not sure why it was added (may have been a part of old notes being converted over).

    @Form Points
    -Great wording, it was a bit messy!

    @Natural Attacks Sidebar
    -Redone! I've converted the rules to pathfinder using a much simpler system and I'll be using the chart listing there as it's handy as all hell for managing features.

    @Unnerving Grace
    -Corrected ;]

    @Aberrant Affinity
    -I've redone it, added "Innate Horror" score which is recalculated after level-up providing a static measure to maintain one's balance. I've also set a minimum score to prevent possible negatives.
    It's likely I'll just redo every single aberrant feat, I think I remember seeing grimshell post a whole compendium of fixed up ones a year or two back.
    Until then this is a fix to the 3.5 lords of madness break that happens when you grant a bunch of free feats and class features that stacks intensely with them. The redo will be aimed at using int and wis to boost the ozodrin's passive stats regardless, as I want high mental stats to be as viable as low, just different.

    @Devour
    -Mutilate moved to Jaws feat.
    -Added more flavor text to digestion (I actually plan to have a digestion sidebar, haven't got around to finding all of my notes on that specifically.)

    @Grappling Sidebar
    Super handy though, added some more links and pointers just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

    @Primary Stomach
    -Rephrased =]

    @Strange Anatomy
    -Construct attack was intended, I've added a clause to Flowing Shape to give the ozodrin immunities.
    -Changed the optional to be more in the realm of DM discretion. It's kinda wordy still =/

    @Bizarre Grappler/Strange Movement
    -Changed and reworded as suggested =]



    Thoughts? Any more?

    Continuing where I left off:

    Swallow Whole:
    • Not much to say here except: Somewhere, you should indicate that the size category of a feature is the size category of its natural-weapon attack. Seems obvious, but even so.
    • Bulletpoint 3 should be split into two sentences.


    Budding Body completely invalidates the Blunt augment for tentacles.

    Aberrant Nature:
    • It should be "Your type becomes Aberration (Augmented X), where X is your previous type." That, at least, is the typical type-change wording - assumed by default, but you should still say it. If it was intended that you are not Augmented (meaning all racial HD would be changed), you should say so explicitly, but Bulletpoint 4 implies that it was not.
    • Bulletpoint 2 would mean that, lacking previous Darkvision, the Ozodrin would have 120' Darkvision. Just confirming that this is intended.
    • I'm pretty sure (not completely) that the usage of the Augmented type renders Bulletpoint 4 redundant.
    • Bulletpoint 5 should say "gain" instead of "inherit," I think.
    • Bulletpoint 6 would read better as "while in" instead of "within," though this is mostly just my opinion.


    Strange Physiology, as written, has a bit of an IHS problem - it gives a chance to ignore any effect for 24 hours at a time, including those which have no saves (but not including those which have saves which you have failed. This is actually even worse than IHS, because it works on everything all the time. Even after fixing this, there is no clarification for how often you roll the chance-to-ignore for things which do not have saves, or whether you are supposed to completely ignore the effect or just treat it as a successful save for the next 24 hours in cases where there is only a save-for-partial. Finally, this ends up in the odd situation where it's easier to ignore things which have no saves than those which it is normally possible to resist. For the first bit, try "If you successfully save to resist such an effect, there is a 5%/Ozodrin level chance that you ignore it for 24 hours." Not sure what to do about the rest.

    Rapid Form is unclear - "moving" FP separately from adding and removing features? Also, Bulletpoint 2 implies that adding features does count against the limit for removing (by stating the reverse situation explicitly). Try "Adding and removing features have separate limits for Rapid Form."

    1

    General Stuff I've Noticed: Frequently, you say "Level," and it's not clear whether you mean Character or Class level. Second, there are tense inconsistencies - second-person ("you"), specific third-person ("the ozodrin"), or generic third-person ("an ozodrin"). Official materials tend to use the latter.

    How have I missed this?

    You sir, have earned a sub. I'm working on an Ozodrin PrC right now (That is, in an old text document) and you have captured my original image of it again.

    I love the much Simpler tables, and I can see this going very far.

    Thank you very much sir!

    It took an astounding and surprising amount of brute force to get it this far, but the wheels are starting to get rounder the more I push it, if that makes sense!

    I would love to have a look at your PrC and work with you to put it into the rules all pretty-styles. I'm a big fan of archetypes, check out 4.0, specifically the Tether for now and see the potential

    @Swallow Whole
    -First line cleaned up and made more concise, adding the context that it's comparing the bite attack's size instead of the mouth.
    I'm not quite sure if I want all features to be considered the size of their attacks, as Ozodrin2 generally has a lot more multi-attack functionality from single features and may have one feature containing a bunch of different sizes instead, allowing all the attacks to share the same feature-specified augments instead of recopying which allows different balance considerations.
    -Corrected ;]

    @Budding Body
    I'm playing with the concept of making it redundant for now, thoughts on it's actual impact?

    @Aberrant Nature
    -I've decided to go a 90degree on this one, I've removed guise type and added the types to the true form without augmenting them in a sorta "just works" way. Thoughts?
    -I agree with the wording choices!

    @Strange Physiology
    -I've reduced the no-save to 2%/level, and created conditions to help guide players on how and when it's supposed to be used.

    @Rapid Form
    -Another 90degree change, one of the main issues with giving the ozodrin the power/incentive to rapidly change her form is that it can be an absolute mess to try and sort out mid-round. Thus I have added Quick-Forms.
    The mentality between quick-forms are that the take the load off both the player and the DM and should actually work better later levels than the default add-remove feature option, which is something the player should probably be at least trying to do anyway to save time.

    @General Stuff
    -You could very well be right, I have removed a lot of "it" and replaced to "she", I'll go over the whole class and scrub it to 3rd person, with the exception of Distorted Mind. Thanks!

    Any more?

    There will be more - I'll try to get some done tomorrow. Bit-by-bit, that's all.

    On the note of sizes: The main issue is that normally, the system doesn't differentiate between the size category of individual body parts. I mean, it might, for some exceptionally massive creatures, but not as far as I'm aware, at least.

    Also, while natural weapons are not typically given sizes (the size category in that chart is for the size of the creature), weapons are - and the size-as-object of a weapon is usually different from the size of the creature wielding it (Light weapons are two sizes smaller, one-handed are one size smaller, and two-handed are the same size, I believe).

    So all it needs is a bit of clarification, not necessarily removal.

    Also, one other thing I forgot: You still need to explain Bio (pool size, regeneration rate/method, what it is, etc.) somewhere - as-is, you have assorted mentions of it but no explanation beyond what can be inferred from said mentions.

    @Sizes
    • Splitting the size of a feature and an attack seems to be way too complicated, instead I think the best way to expand upon multi-sizes is to put features of different sizes on others and call it a day, this will help complications in the long run.
    • I think the whole size features/attacks needs to be explained and should be simple (feature size = it's largest attack) or just have all attacks considered the same size for a feature.
    • I think it would be best to add something like "If your base size is Large, you may grant (like 3 or 4 or something per size increase) different features an increased size without augmenting them." Either that or adding the that number of augments. The difference being between limiting features to their size hard-cap and essentially granting a larger creature more FP to work with while maintaining the same maximim damage per features or just giving the larger creature bigger numbers. The only issue with the augmentation add is that if you had a gargantuan creature with low ozodrin levels you probably couldn't get above colossal features, which is ok but the ozodrin is kinda built for pushing the envelope at times... I'll consider the options and think on it for a few days -- I would really like some input in the meantime though!

    @Bio
    Agreed fully, I was planning to write a digestion sidebar but I can't really decide where to put Bio. Digestion seems to happen with Devour, Primary Stomach and Organ.
    An organ's main use is to store and use Bio.
    The ozodrin can use her 1 innate bio pool to heal herself 2HP.
    Primary Stomach is designed to convert digestible matter into Bio, I'm not quite sure where to put everything.
    If you have a suggestion on placement please let me know, otherwise I'll likely just write another sidebar just for Bio and Digestion.
    I'll think on it, let me know!

    @Digesting Valuables
    I also wanted to put in sort of an absorption or subsumption system for magic items.
    Being able to swallow magic items and then become yourself magic is always something I've enjoyed the concept of.
    Perhaps a feat that allows you to absorb your magic items and wear them as if it was yours, and also gain an ability similar to the Teramach to destroy such items after a set time period to gain permanent FP.
    Let me know what you think of this feat as a concept!

    @Bit-By-Bit
    Looking forward to it!

    I'm just saying that normally, body parts (which Features effectively are) do not have their own size categories, and neither do attacks.
    • The only thing size has to do with attacks is that the damage die scales with size, and that only cares about number of increments, not where you start or end. Thus, you don't need a size on the attack.
    • The only reason size matters for features is an unusual one - the grappling/swallowing situation, for most creatures, is based on creature size, but that obviously wouldn't work for the Ozodrin. Also, without using any FP to modify the size of a feature, an Ozodrin is disadvantaged relative to a no ordinary creature of the same size with the normal Swallow Whole. This is because:

    • A Mouth feature is, by default, one size smaller than the Ozodrin producing it.
    • The Ozodrin's Swallow Whole can only be used on a creature at least one size smaller than the mouth. Thus, without modification, the creature being swallowed must be two or more sizes smaller than the Ozodrin.
    • The normal Swallow Whole can only be used on a creature one size smaller than the swallower.



    If you did not intend this difference, it can be fixed by saying that the Mouth feature (or all features, for consistency) is, by default, the size category of the Ozodrin, and that the damage die for a Medium mouth is 1d4 (other features can get similar modifications). This fixes the what-can-they-swallow disparity while keeping damage at the one-size-smaller level required (to balance for the large number of natural attacks).

    I'm still not entirely clear on how one feature gets multiple attacks. Nothing else gets this in the system as far as I'm aware, actually. The archetypal example, a Dragon, has one bite, two claws, two wing slaps, and a tail slap - one attack per weaponizable body part. That's the difference between natural and manufactured weapons: Natural weapons get a lot of attacks at a stable attack bonus, but only one attack per sharp-or-heavy body part (making magical enhancement less effective), and don't scale to give more attacks with more BAB; manufactured weapons get to give more attacks with BAB and give more returns off enchantments, but the attack bonus falls off the more attacks you make. This is really a core part of the natural-weapons rules: you get more attacks for more weapons, they don't fall off in attack bonus beyond maybe being secondary, and they don't get iteratives.

    Bio: Just make it a class feature gained at level 1.

    1
    EDIT: Why change the normal damage formula of Swallow Whole (1/10 of max HP)?


    Twisted Mind: First off, Bulletpoints Two through Four can be replaced with "The Ozodrin can use False Sensory Input as an extraordinary ability with a range of 60'(save DC 10 + Ozodrin level + Charisma). Second, it's way overpowered. The standard save DC is 10 + 1/2 class level + CHA modifier. Even assuming that's a mistake, though, it's still kind of crazy, because of the ability to completely override the normal limits with an opposed skill check where you get a large boost to the skill. Effectively, if you beat their Perception with your Bluff, you've completely negated all of their senses. And then you make it Extraordinary, shutting down every possible way to stop you other than, by blind luck (or friendly intervention), leaving the range or hitting you hard enough to break Concentration. This goes well beyond the typical sort of thing (Ex) abilities do - it should be (Su) at least, if not (Psi). That goes even if you remove the ability to break the limits with a skill check.

Effectively, if you beat their Perception with your Bluff, you've completely negated all of their senses. And then you make it Extraordinary, shutting down every possible way to stop you other than, by blind luck (or friendly intervention), leaving the range or hitting you hard enough to break Concentration. This goes well beyond the typical sort of thing (Ex) abilities do - it should be (Su) at least, if not (Psi). That goes even if you remove the ability to break the limits with a skill check.

    Great Idea, I made a level 2 class feature for it and will work over the next week filling it in.
    Level 1 shouldn't necessarily have Organ bio effects anyway, the ozodrin is complicated as it is.

    @Swallow Whole
    Swallow whole has a damage and is used on monsters that scale differently and against players who generally don't deal much damage.
    The purposes for the stomach feature are different than those in a monster, it's supposed to have the ability to simulate a location without pinning the creature inside, nor necessarily being hostile to them.
    Changing it to the default swallow whole would make the special attack only viable against creatures who are easily pinned and deal no damage in that state. The main advantage I can see is that it's only effected by piercing and slashing damage
    I will certainly think on how to tune it up and would really enjoy some input!

    Changed to psi, makes a lot more sense.
    I've removed the charisma mod added to the DC for faster scaling.
    I've made additional changes a full round action.
    The idea behind the ability is a reliable mindfrack illusion, changing what they see in a variety of ways. This was the most creative mechanic I could think of to accomish it, as it allows a large amount of customization in the effect with minimal rules.
    Any suggestions on replacement mechanics?

    Natural weapons don't have size categories, though - that table is for the size of the creature. While it is necessary, in the Ozodrin's case, to have sizes for natural weapons, making the size smaller than the character by default has odd effects. First, it requires that you modify the Swallow Whole as you did to keep the same relative swallowing ability. This, in turn, means that any Ozodrin who has a bite attack by other means can swallow creatures of their own size using that bite attack. Also, all features the Ozodrin makes will have a different size modifier to attack rolls than the Ozodrin has to AC - while this is going to happen anyway when you start changing sizes, making it true by default without modification is just weird. For example, a Large ozodrin would have -1 to AC for being Large, but no penalty with a bite from their unmodified Mouth feature because that feature is Medium. This is, admittedly, carried over from the original Ozodrin, but that's not really a reason to keep it unless it's a good thing.
    @Swallow Size

    See above.
    @Multiple Attacks
    Check the Multi and Strike augments.
    Yes, that's what I'm saying doesn't make sense. Getting multiple natural attacks with the same natural weapon is something that Does Not Happen, so why have you made augments to do that? Incidentally, they still can't be separate sizes, which you implied. Also, it's just done oddly - Many Mouths/Tentacles doesn't actually give all the things that just forming another mouth or tentacle does, it just gives a bonus to the original one. Strike then gives that conglomerate feature an extra natural attack. At that point, you're spending 12 FP total on the feature. This feature then has two Bite attacks (worth 3 FP each), both with +2 to attack and +1 damage. So, is +2 attack and +1 damage worth the 9 extra FP? No. While you don't have existing augments to do that, you can do better fairly easily. For a Tentacle, Serrated costs 2 FP and does +1 damage every round until they have time for a Heal check or healing magic. Hooked costs 7 FP and gives a bonus to grapple, which is frankly what you'd be using the attack bonus for most of the time anyway, and even adds some extra damage if they break out. That's 9 FP. For a mouth, Hooked gives almost the same combo for only 4 FP - it requires you to be able to start a Devour without the bonus, but 1 Con damage is far better than 1 damage as long as you're not fighting Constructs or undead.

    @Bio Pool

    I don't quite see why complicated is a problem in this specific case? It's a natural-attack class and a grappler. Any class which gives you the ability to make your own weapons is either going to be fairly simple (and give you a preset list of options) or very complicated (by way of actually giving you the ability to make your own weapons). The only exception is if it refers everything to the existing magic-weapon rules, in which case it's not so much simple as outsourcing the complexity to something that's already written up elsewhere. And that method doesn't work for natural attacks or grapplers.
    @Swallow Whole
    Swallow whole has a damage and is used on monsters that scale differently and against players who generally don't deal much damage.

    Not quite clear what you're aiming for here. Unless you use the feat-accessed (therefore, not present for most) Chamber augment to make it a chamber, it doesn't simulate a location, it only pins them. As written, it does do damage (actually, it does damage even with Chamber, but that's probably an oversight. It does require pinning them, and does keep them pinned, and removing that would be kind of crazy. It does need them to be able to do piercing or slashing damage while pinned. It seems you're assuming that you've made a lot of changes to the original Swallow Whole that you haven't actually made, but at the same time, I can't quite see why the changes need making.

    See, the problem here is that with a Bluff check, which has a pretty good shot of beating the enemy Perception check, and a full-round action, you can make them think they're in whatever situation you want - and that situation has absolutely nothing in common with reality. It completely removes someone from any effectiveness not based on the blind luck of running around randomly and swinging weapons wildly, and you can make them think there's nothing to even try to aim for. Honestly, removing the ability to ignore limits would probably balance it out. As-is, you can put them in complete sensory deprivation; you can make it seem that they're floating deep underwater; you can just put them tied up in a box being stabbed from every direction by spikes on the inside. And if you play it right, you can give them a perfectly good reason to expect it to be real.

    I admittedly don't understand why this is, why should a small feature on a medium creature have a bonus to attack where as a small short sword on a medium creature does not?

    @Feature Sizes
    • The whole concept of treating features and sizes as hard-linked is frankly unappealing.
    • I've changed Mouth so it's always small.
    • I've added a line in the natural weapons sidebar to clarify how creature size is separate from feature size.
    • Really basic wording but I've added a line in Form Points where you gain a bonus or penalty to form points based on your racial size. This should make it so ozodrin of equal level can all have the same size features, but a small creature will have to size a feature down to gain the FP back. This works as a small tweak to balance and reward racial size options.
    • The form point tweak should be worded better, thoughts?
    • Any other holes in said rules?


    @Multi / Strike
    Well, it's giving another attack with a weapon, and it's contextualizing it that it may or may not be just another tentacle, limb or whatever amongst a sea of them.
    If you rolled Tentacle + Hooked + Long7 you'd get 40'. (24fp)
    x2 Would be 48
    If you rolled Tentacle + Hooked + Multi + Strike (emulating x2) + Long7 you'd get 33FP
    x3 36
    x4 39
    The usage should be clear

    @Complexity
    Making a lego-block grappler is a really complex thing to try and make more elegant (or simple), but it's one of the premises of the remake.

    @Chamber - Stomach Augment
    Totally incomplete, but yes the Chamber augment is intended to turn the normally contouring space of the stomach into a location that could be represented on a combat grid.

    @Twisted Mind

    Agreed!
    I think it needs a major flaw, a FRA to change the effects is fair in terms of action economy but it still needs a chink such as a perception effect ends allows the target to realize the illusion isn't real, allowing it to ignore it. Or it only applying to creatures that are shaken and doubling with applying the ozodrin's manifest fear effect if it was not already used. Thoughts on how to make this ability functional yet still creatively powerful?

    My stupid misunderstanding, then. The size of a weapon is typically not mentioned, so when it was I just looked at the size rules.

    @Multi / Strike

    So your point is that it multiplies enhancements. That's actually what I was trying to say before the example bit. Manufactured weapons get multiple attacks scaling by BAB, but the attack bonus falls off the more you make. The only way to increase the number of attacks is TWF (or MWF for creatures with more than two weapon-wielding limbs). This decreases the bonus even more. That's how manufactured weapons work: More attacks means it's harder to hit with them, but increased training can get you more, and it's easy to boost them with magic and stuff because every hit gets it.

    Natural weapons are different. The number of attacks doesn't scale by BAB - it's fixed at one per weapon - but you don't need to wait for high BAB to get them, and multiple attacks (by using multiple weapons) have a stable attack bonus. This increased chance of hitting is balanced out partially by the fact that any boosts you get on them (which typically is a more involved process than for manufactured weapons - Magic Fang is only for Druids (and Rangers) instead of Magic Weapon for the more common Wizards, Sorcerers, and Clerics (and Paladins); permanent boosting requires the Amulet of Mighty Fists or Necklace of Natural Weapons. The former only gives +Numbers bonuses and costs triple what they'd cost on a manufactured weapon, but does give them for all weapons; the latter can give any enchantments but has a +600 gp surcharge and doesn't get more efficient if you have more natural weapons (the cost multiplies). As for getting multiple attacks with one natural weapon, the only way is with Rapidstrike and Improved Rapidstrike. These have harsher prerequisites than TWF and barely bring you past someone trying to TWF (or MWF) without the feat. Also, they are monster feats, so the default is not that they're allowed.

    So overall, the game system does not encourage getting multiple attacks with a single natural weapon (only allows it with difficulty, even) - and that works fine for most natural-weapon builds.


    @Chamber - Stomach Augment
    Totally incomplete, but yes the Chamber augment is intended to turn the normally contouring space of the stomach into a location that could be represented on a combat grid.
    What about the rest of my comment?
    @Twisted Mind
    Agreed!

    I'd say just remove all ability to break through the normal rules. The power is crazy-good already in any combat where there's something the same size as you that isn't you, or you have something that needs hiding, or infiltrations where you never run into more guards than you can concentrate on (usually one, but there are tricks). Or any other situation where there's two things the same size and you want them mixed up (your enemies, your allies, you and a rock behind someone who's trying to punch you...). Or if you just want to make it look like you can do things you can't (any stunt or special effect that can be vaguely mimed). Or just wave your arms and make it look like you turned a nearby tree to glass or stone or something as a warning shot.

    Where did I leave off... Ah!

    Still not sure what you're going with for pronouns. You said you were scrubbing it all to third-person, but use second-person just as much. Also, one "the creature" in Strange Movement.

    Uncertain Shape: The different parts don't seem to fit together well with either each other or the main idea of the class ("lego-block grappler," you called it?). Also, Bulletpoint 2 is inconsistent: "When making stealth checks you also blur yourself, granting +4 to disguise." While I'm not going to comment on the balance of the magnitude of the skill bonus (because I'm not a balance expert by any stretch), that needs fixing. If it was meant as +4 Disguise, that doesn't really fit the class or the fluff (if I saw someone and they were blurry, that doesn't make me trust that they are who they look like - it makes me think something's wrong with either them or my eyes). Stealth checks fit both of those better. Also, +1 dodge bonus to AC at level 12? That's tiny enough to honestly be more annoying to track than helpful for defense. Increase it or remove it. Personally, I'd say remove - you're already getting +2 CMD, +4 Disguise (or Stealth, depending on which you go with), and a scaling Acrobatics bonus. As-is, the Ozodrin is not a defensive class, and especially not a dodging one - the closest it's got is slowly healing (by jumping on someone and eating their face), the Enchanted augment on natural weapons for some healing-based property (requires jumping on people and mauling them or eating their faces), or boosting its Con (and getting extra temporary HP equal to the real HP it gets) with the Adrenal organ (side effects: Urge to jump on people and eat their faces).

    Rapid Form: Really needs rephrasing. Try
    With preparation, an ozodrin can group several features together to grow them more quickly. She may have one such "quick form" per point of Intelligence bonus, plus one per five Ozodrin levels. These forms consist of any assortment of features (which may be augmented) the Ozodrin can already use, but cannot cost more than half of the Ozodrin's maximum FP. Any time the Ozodrin could add features to their true form, they may add all the features contained in a single quick form, even if this exceeds the normal FP-per-action limit, as long as they have enough FP to support all of the features.
    Otherworldly Guise: The first line has lots of rules-implications that it seems unlikely you intended - for example, that it costs FP to leave your true form (to make the puppet), that the only difference between being in your true form and being in your guise is whether or not there's a puppet next to you, that if you want it to look like it used to you have to spend 15' of Strange Movement to hide (and it breaks if your puppet does anything combative)... Just wipe out the first line. Apart from all that, there's another problem: Since you've "simplified" the ability, it actually just gives you a second True Form with a few very small disadvantages - the slow modification and the lack of a fear effect when entering it (you get it when leaving instead). The original wasn't complicated anyway, just a bit wordy (and that's just because Owrtho was being thorough) - it was just "figure out the FP that you'd need to make your guise as a puppet. You can now use those FP differently and squeeze in a little bit extra."

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: This class is inherently complex, and almost everything you've done to simplify it just strips out options, which are the entire point of a modular system.

    Shifting Shape: Works, but... you've already got augments that are the same across multiple features, and you've got level-based prerequisites on some augments. Making this a class ability just spreads out where people have to look to figure out what they can do - opposite of simplifying. Just move it in as an augment to all features with Requirement: Level 17.

    Flowing Shape: Attacking defensively is not a thing.

    Sinister Image: "Depictions count as a puppet for what features may go on them." Well, let's look at Puppets. Oh, any feature can go on a puppet. So, what's the point of this line?

    Infinite Horror: As written, this gives exponential bonuses: (60 * 1.5^L), where L is the number of levels after 20. If you actually wanted it to be linear (+90 FP per level after 20), just say so - it's simpler. If not, sorry. Also, you might want to make it say "Ozodrin level."

    Epic Ozodrin: The table goes a bit long - do you really need 20 levels for an every-other-level pattern? A two-level table would be enough to show it, and even the official 3.5 tables (can't find the PF ones) only go to 30.

    Neat, always liked the Ozodrin.

    Class features really, really should list the level they are gained in their description. Scrolling back up to the table every three features is annoying in a concise class, in one which uses as much space as the Ozodrin it's borderline ridiculous.

    Much of the formatting seems rather over-designed for what it accomplishes. Prime offender:

    The change list states that the basic augments are gained across the first 5 levels while the actual class feature grants them all at level 1.

    Innate Horror is kind of weird, and I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do with it. As things stand, a character with a few aberrant feats already loses power by taking levels in Ozodrin. Is the point to cap the scaling bonuses from those feats? Because that would be better done with a rules sidebar. Is it to provide a minimum power level for the feats? Because that should be taken care of by the bonus feats.

    Devour plays into the old Bag O' Rats trick. Maybe cap the life/Bio that can be gained per day or the targets who can grant them? Then again, I don't know what sort of recharge rate you intend for Bio.

    From Budding Body:
    "You may also use a true limb as if it were a tentacle for the purposes of carrying features."
    What is the advantage of doing so over putting the features on your body? Why can't they put features on their limbs from the start? Seriously, this doesn't change reach or anything, it's purely fluff.

    From Strange Physiology:
    "When you successfully resist one of the above effects roll a D% and gain a 5%/Level chance to ignore a resisted effect from effecting you again for 24 hours."
    I don't see the point of the roll, this isn't all that great of an ability, why not just give them the immunity without slowing things down by forcing another roll?

    From Twisted Mind:
    The save should be 10+1/2 level+cha. 10+level has some odd effects.
    Also, the added bluff check really overpowers this. You can practically use it as a better dominate monster, albeit one with a shorter duration.

    Is the Maximum Augments column in the feature tables per augment or per augments of that type?

    I don't know if this is intentional or not, but the 'Infinite Horror' isn't nearly as useful as it seems to be. Even though your form point count will grow exponentially and rocket into the thousands after just a few level ups, your number of usable feature attacks per round and your ability to apply augmentations still scales linearly.

    It's still a mind-blowingly good ability, mind, but not THAT good.
