SPECIAL ABILITIES:

As One (Ex): See Symbionts for details.

Attachment (Ex): Living breastplates deal 1 point of permanent Strength damage.

Collective Ego: Living breastplates have an Ego Score of 16, as per the symbiont sub-type. Unless created
otherwise, living breastplates are always lawful evil and are always in the service of the daelkyr lords of
Xoriat. Anyone that touches the living breastplate is subject to the effect of it's Ego score, not just those
that are wearing it. Those that fall victim to the effect are commanded to immediately put on the Living
Breastplate.

Item Slot (Ex): Living breastplates attach to the armor slot.

Host Benefits:

Armor (Ex): When the living breastplate is worn, the host is considered to be wearing medium armor with a
+8 armor bonus, an Armor Check penalty of -1, spell failure chance of 15%, no reduction in speed and a
maximum Dexterity bonus of +5. The wearer is automatically proficient with the Living Breastplate. While
worn, the living breastplate is considered to take up the armor slot.
Damage Reduction (Ex): When the living breastplate is worn, the host also gains damage reduction of
10/byeshk.

Enhance Abilities (Su): When the living breastplate is worn, the host also gains a enhancement bonus to
their Strength score of +10, to their Dexterity score of +6, and to their Constitution score of +8.

Fortification (Ex): When the living breastplate is worn, the host gains Heavy Fortification, as per the armor
enchantment of the same name.

Stabilization (Ex): When the living breastplate is worn and the host drops below 0 hit points, the living
breastplate will automatically stabilize the host as an immediate action by dealing 1 point of Strength
damage. The host will do this automatically without any action from the host and regardless of the host's
intention or desire.

Bolster Body (Su): While attached, the breed leech provides the host a +1 circumstance bonus to Fortitude
saves. Also, once per day, the breed leach can provide the host with 5 temporary hit points that last for 1
minute. Doing so requires the host to spend an immediate action.

Claw Attack: While attached, the host creature gains a natural claw attack appropriate to his size category.
If the host already has a claw or slam attack using the attached limb, that natural attack is temporarily
replaced with the claw attack from the crawling gauntlet. The host is automatically proficient with this
natural attack. The claw attack has a threat range of 19-20 and counts as a magic weapon with a +1
enchantment bonus.

Mote Cloak (Su): The shadow sibling generates a cloud of fine particles that surround the host and respond
to the commands of the symbiont. This cloud naturally surrounds the host, providing a +4 circumstance
bonus to Stealth checks based on sight. The cloud can be commanded, as an immediate action that does
not provoke, to either activate the Cloak Host or Corrupting Touch abilities (see below). This activation,
regardless of which option is used, can be used once per day safely, but each additional time it is used, the
shadow sibling deals 1 point of Wisdom damage to the host. Unlike the damage done by attachment, this
ability damage can be healed without retribution from the shadow sibling.

Cloak Host (Ex): The Mote Cloak can be activated to provide 50% concealment for 1 minute. The symbiont
can use this ability once per day if it is not attached.

Corrupting Touch (Ex): The Mote Cloak can be extended to do a ranged incorporeal touch attack up to 15
feet away, dealing 1d6 points of damage.

Spellcasting: The host can cast any one of the spell-like abilities of the attached spellwurm as a standard
action. Any attack roll made with the spell is made by the host, not the spellwurm. The Mage Armor effect
can target the host while the spellwurm is attached, as per the As One special ability.

Eye Ray (Su): While the stormstalk is attached, it allows the host to trigger the same eye ray that the
stormstalk has, but using the host's ranged touch attack. This counts as a ray for the purposes of feats.

Weapon (Ex): When the tentacle whip is worn, it is considered to be a Scorpion Whip +1 except that it has
15' reach instead of the normal 10' and the host is always wielding it, even though it occupies the wrist slot,
not one of the host's hands. If an attack with the tentacle whip is successful, it also injects poison as
detailed above, except the saving throw DC is 10 + 1/2 host's Hit Dice + host's Constitution modifier. It is
important to note that the As One ability above does apply with the tentacle whip's 15 feet of reach for the
purposes of touch-delivered effects.

Improved Proficiency (Ex): When the tentacle whip is worn, the host is considered to have Agile
Maneuvers, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (scorpion whip), Improved Disarm, Improved Trip, Improved Steal
and Weapon Finesse as bonus feats, but only as they apply to using the tentacle whip. These benefits stack,
as per usual, with the weapon qualities of a scorpion whip (like disarm and trip).

Create Shard (Ex): The throwing scarab is able to generate a piece of carapace that can be pulled off once
per round. Once removed, the shard is a light slashing weapon, dealing 1d4 points. It has a critical range of
19-20/x2 and a throwing range of 20'. Upon a successful hit, the carapace dissolves within the target,
dealing an extra 1d6 points of acid damage. These shards do not last for more than 1 round after being
removed from the scarab, but it is able generate them at a steady pace of once per round. Drawing a
carapace shard is treating like drawing a dagger.

Weapon (Ex): When the tongueworm is attached, the host has a natural attack, capable of delivering a
tongue strike up to 5' away. This tongue strike does a base 1d3 points of piercing damage, has a crit range
of x2, but only 1/2 of the host's Strength modifier applies. If the attack is successful, it also injects poison as
detailed above, except the saving throw DC is 10 + 1/2 host's Hit Dice + host's Constitution modifier. The
natural attack can also be used for dirty trick, disarm, grapple, reposition, steal and trip combat maneuvers
Most importantly, the tongueworm is always considered a hidden weapon when used for the first time in a
combat unless the opponent is somehow already aware of it. Thus, it resolves against flat-foot Armor Class
on its first strike without the need of a Sleight of Hand check.

While withdrawn into the throat, it is hidden and it cannot be specifically targeted by anything that requires
line of sight or line of effect. If the host already has a bite attack, it cannot use it and the tongueworm in the
same round.

Immunity to Poison (Su): When the tongueworm is attached, the host is immune to ingested or inhaled
poison.

Eye Ray (Su): While the winter cyst is attached, it allows the host to trigger the same eye ray that the
winter cyst has, but using the host's ranged touch attack. This counts as a ray for the purposes of feats.

Telepathy (Su): A living breastplate can communicate telepathically with its host, if the host has a language.

Living breastplates are one of the pinnacle examples of daelkyr fleshcrafting. It is said that these creatures
were once actual mollusks or crustaceans that were warped and re-purposed into armor. Whether or not
the daelkyr knew that their opposition, the hobgoblins of the Dhakkani, often claimed the armor of their
victims and thus were easy prey to the telepathic presence of the living breastplate is unknown, but
assumed to be true. The Living Breastplate is based on a Mithral Breastplate +2 of Light Fortificaiton with a
combined Belt of Mighty Constitution +4 and a permanent Stoneskin effect, altered to be overcome by
byeshk, increased Wisdom and Charisma scores and an at-will Stabilize effect, as per intelligent magical
items.

Symbiote Traits:

 Vulnerabilities: Symbiotes are vulnerable to good and magic damage, suffering double damage
from these sources, and damage from these sources take twice as long to heal. Additionally, they
are weakened in sunlight, -2 penalty to all checks, attacks, and saves.
 Regeneration (Ex): Only good and magic damage deals lethal damage to Symbiotes.
 Damage Reduction (Ex): Due to the amorphous nature of symbiotes, they are resistant to damage,
with DR 5.
 Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the symbiote must hit a single target with its tentacle. If it
gets a hold, it automatically deals damage, with the option at no penalty of doing subdual damage
each round the hold is maintained. It can also attempt to Bond with the target.
 Genetic Memory: The symbiotes pass on knowledge from parent to offspring. This even applies to
abilities of hosts. If the host had super powers, the symbiote will mimic those powers to the best of
its abilities, and will pass those on to its offspring. These can include super strength, speed, abilities
like web shooting, etc.
  Spawn Offspring (Ex): After reaching 4 hit dice, or being bonded to a host for more than 2 years,
the symbiote will break off a piece of itself to create an offspring, which will immediately seek a
host of its own.
 No Breath (Ex): The symbiotes does not breathe, and are immune to effects that require breathing
(such as inhaled poison). This does not give immunity to cloud or gas attacks that do not require
breathing.
 All-Around Vision (Ex): The symbiote sees in all directions at once. It cannot be flanked.
 See in Darkness (Su): The symbiotes can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by
a deeper darkness spell.
 Telepathy: A creature with this ability can communicate telepathically with any other creature
within a certain range (at contact) that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures
at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature
at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same
time. A symbiote can communicate telepathically with any creature it is in physical contact with. It
can also maintain a telepathic bond with one specific creature at a time by taking a full-round
action to link her mind to that creature during telepathic communication.
 Bond (Ex): Symbiotes bond with hosts as a source of food and protection, greatly enhancing the
host. The symbiote must be in contact with a creature in order to bond, successfully grapple an
unwilling target, or simple physical contact for willing hosts. An unwilling host must make a Fort
save DC 20 each round of physical contact the symbiote makes to resist it trying to bond with them.
On a failed save, the symbiote bonds and the host must make a Will save DC 15 + Symbiote's Con
modifier +1 per failed Will save, every 12 hours or the symbiote takes control. A successful save
means the host is in control, but prone to bouts of anger, and can attempt another Fort save to
remove the symbiote, but at -4 penalty. When the symbiote is in charge, it will seek out food and
hunt living creatures, with some symbiotes preferring the flesh of intelligent beings. When bonded,
the host, referred to as the base creature, gains the Symbiote template.
 Immunity to fire and poison.
 Resistance to acid 10 and cold 10.

Symbiote Template
Once bonded, the symbiote covers the whole host's body and grants the host a number of abilities
including enhanced strength, durability, ability to form weapons. The host, as long as the symbiote is not in
control, can have the symbiote recede into their body, hidden away. While hidden, the host can't draw on
any of the abilities granted by the symbiote except for Fast Healing and the speed increase. It is a free
action for the symbiote to cover or uncover the host. If the symbiote is in control, it will not recede ever.

generate natural or manufacted weapon of its matter. Can form a manufacted weapon directly on

move equivalent action. For example:

point. If reduced to 0 hit points in combat, it automatically assumes gaseous form and attempts to

experiences up to 1 mile away, as per the Empathy psionic power. The host gains the benefits
of a True Seeing spell.
 Army Manipulation (Su): The symbiote empowers its host to create Undead creatures,
summoning an army of deceased beings, similar to the Create Greater Undead spell.

Symbiotic Weaknesses (Ex): The symbiote give a set of penalty to its host:

 Deadzone: Powers nullified in specific areas, as Anti-Magic Field spell. Spawn is weakened in
certain areas (similar to antimagic zones); no powers function within the Deadzone.

 Decapitation: Vulnerable to decapitation, must be reduced to negative hit points and coup de
grace dealt.

 Vulnerability to Heavenly Weapons and Magic: Spawn takes an additional 50% damage from
attacks made with heavenly weapons or magic.

 Vulnerability to Heaven: Weakened by heavenly forces, as vulnerability to opposing alignment.

 Vulnerability to Celestial Fire: Vulnerable to celestial fire attacks, as energy vulnerabilities. Celestial
fire damage deals an extra 50% damage to Spawn.

 Vulnerability to Sunlight: Weakened in sunlight, -2 penalty to all checks, attacks, and saves.

Symbiotic Link (Ex): The symbiote shares a deep connection with its host, allowing them to communicate
telepathically over any distance. The symbiote can offer advice, insights, and warnings to its host. If the
host is incapacitated or unconscious, the symbiote can attempt to rouse them through telepathic
communication.

Immunities: The symbiote is immune to cold, fire, mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning,
and disease.

Resistances: The symbiote has resistance to acid 10 and electricity 10.

Skills: The symbiote has a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks.

Description: The symbiote is a dark, amorphous entity that binds itself to a chosen host. It has a malleable
form, allowing it to reshape its appearance to some extent. Its coloration is typically shades of black and
dark gray, with occasional faintly glowing patterns of eerie green. The symbiote possesses its own
consciousness and the ability to evolve over time, responding to the needs and experiences of its host.

The symbiote forms a powerful link with its host, granting enhanced physical attributes and resilience. It
communicates with its host through telepathy, offering guidance and sharing its own insights. The
symbiote's presence is often unsettling, and its motivations are closely tied to the dark and sinister powers
of Hellspawn.

Necroplasm
All Hellspawn are comprised entirely of the otherworldly substance called Necroplasm. It's a manifestation
of Hell's power within the mortal realm. Spawn's body is necroplasmic, and he wears a suit that interacts
with his necroplasmic form, providing him with various abilities and protection. The suit is a "living"
symbiotic organism fueled by Necroplasm, which feeds off his power and forms his appearance. The
Hellspawn can channel raw Necroplasm to shoot beams of green energy from their body, and their blood,
eyes, and many of their powers emit a similar green glow.
A Hellspawn's power is limited by the energy contained within their Necroplasm. Each Hellspawn begins
with 9,999 units of power. When this energy is depleted, their time on Earth comes to an end, and they
return to Hell.

Necroplasm Infusion (Ex): Spawn's entire being is suffused with the otherworldly substance known as
Necroplasm, a manifestation of Hell's power in the mortal realm. His body is a conduit for this energy, and
his suit interacts seamlessly with his necroplasmic essence. The symbiotic suit enhances his abilities and
feeds off his raw power, granting him a variety of supernatural traits.

 Necroplasmic Enhancement: The symbiotic suit provides Spawn with additional strength and
durability, granting him an enhancement bonus to Strength of +8, Dexterity of +4 and Constitution
of +8.

 Living Weapon: Spawn's body is a living weapon, his natural attacks (claws, chains and spiked
gauntlets ) deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage per 5 hit dice.

 Necroplasmic Beam (Su): Spawn can unleash beams of green Necroplasmic energy from his body.
This ability functions as a ranged touch attack with a range of 60 feet, dealing 4d6 necrotic damage.

 Necroplasm Bombs (Su): Create explosive blasts with a radius of 20 ft., dealing 1d6 fire damage per
hit dice, as Fireball spell.

The suit itself is powered by the Necroplasm and offers great protection, granting Spawn natural armor and
damage reduction. The suit's appearance is altered by the Necroplasm, giving Spawn his distinctive and
intimidating look. His blood, eyes, and many of his magical effects emit a green glow, a testament to the
raw power of the Necroplasm.

 Necroplasmic Armor: Spawn gains a +10 natural armor bonus to his Armor Class.

 Damage Reduction: Spawn gains Damage Reduction 10/magic and silver, allowing him to shrug off
attacks that would harm lesser beings.

 Necroplasmic Resilience: Spawn's body is resilient to the effects of cold, fire, and mind-affecting
abilities, granting him immunity to Cold, Fire, and Mind-affecting spells.

Furthermore, each Hellspawn is initially imbued with a limited amount of Necroplasmic energy, measured
in units. Spawn begins with 9,999 units of power, and many of his abilities draw upon this reserve. Once
this energy is consumed, Spawn's time on Earth is at an end, and he must return to Hell. This reserve of
energy allows him to unleash powerful abilities and spells fueled by the very essence of his being.

 Necroplasmic Energy: Spawn's abilities that consume Necroplasmic energy are fueled by this
reserve. Abilities that require expenditure of Necroplasmic energy, such as Necroplasm Bombs or
powerful spells, reduce this reserve. Once the reserve is depleted, Spawn's access to such abilities
is temporarily diminished until he can replenish his Necroplasmic energy.

1. Necroplasmic Energy Reserve: Spawn possesses a reserve of 9,999 units of Necroplasmic energy.

2. Ability Expenditure: Examples of energy costs for specific abilities:

o Necroplasm Bombs: Creating a single Necroplasm bomb costs 100 units of energy.

o High-Level Spells: Casting a high-level Necroplasm-based spell consumes 500 units or

more, depending on the spell's power.

3. Diminished Abilities: Spawn's access to certain powerful abilities is temporarily diminished when
his energy reserve falls to 0 units. He must replenish his energy to regain access.
 4. Energy Regeneration: Spawn regenerates 100 units of Necroplasmic energy per hour of rest or
meditation in areas with a strong connection to dark energies. The Dungeon Master may adjust this
rate based on campaign balance.

Assigning numerical values to the energy cost of these abilities in a D&D 3.5 system can be a bit challenging
due to the wide range of effects and their potential impact on gameplay. However, I'll provide a relative
scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represents a very low energy cost and 10 represents a very high energy cost.
Keep in mind that these values are for conceptual reference and not intended to be precise game
mechanics:

 Superhuman Strength: 4

 Superhuman Speed/Omnipresence: 6

 Superhuman Reflexes: 5

 Superhuman Durability: 5

 Superhuman Endurance: 5

 Superhuman Senses: 3

 Superhuman Stamina: 5

 Black Dispersal (Su): 9

 Necroplasmic Energy Manipulation (Su): 10

 Flight (Su): 5

 Immortality (Ex): 3 (constant low drain)

  Invisibility (Su): 5

 Phasing (Su): 8

 Portal Creation (Su): 9

 Reality Manipulation (Su): 10

 Regenerative Healing Factor (Ex): 5

 Density Control (Su): 5

 Shape-Shifting (Su): 8

 Soul Manipulation (Su): 8

 Life and Death Manipulation (Su): 9

 Telekinesis (Su): 5

 Telepathy (Su): 3 (constant low drain)

 Memory Manipulation (Su): 8

 Time Manipulation (Su): 10

 Transmutation (Su): 10

 Cosmic Awareness (Su): 3 (constant low drain)

 Transformation (Su): 6

 Army Manipulation (Su): 9

 Elemental Manipulation (Su): 10

These values provide a relative ranking of the energy costs, with higher values indicating abilities that
consume more energy. Please remember that these are abstract values and should be adjusted based on
the power level and balance of your specific campaign.
