Duration: 1 round/
level (D)
You wrench from your subconscious a terrifying visage of deadly hunger and become one with it. You are transformed into a nightmarish version of yourself, complete with an ooze-sleek skin coating, lashing tentacles, and a fright-inducing countenance. You effectively gain a +10 bonus on
Disguise checks, though you retain your basic shape and can continue to use your equipment. This power cannot be used to impersonate someone; while horrible, your form is recognizably your own.
You gain the frightful presence extraordinary ability, which takes effect automatically when you
charge a foe. Opponents within 30 feet of you that have fewer Hit
Dice or levels than you and that witness your
charge become shaken for 5d6 rounds if they fail a Will save (DC 16 + your Cha modifier). An opponent that succeeds on the
saving throw is immune to your frightful presence for 24 hours. Frightful presence is a mind-affecting
fear effect.
Your horrific form grants you a natural armor bonus of +5,
damage reduction 5/-, and a +4 bonus to your Strength score. In addition, you gain +10 feet to your land
speed as well as a +10 bonus on
Climb and
Jump checks.
A nest of violently flailing
black tentacles sprout from your hair and back. You can make up to four additional attacks with these tentacles in addition to your regular melee attacks in each round that you take a full attack action. You can make tentacle attacks within the space you normally threaten. If you make your tentacle attacks in addition to you regular melee attacks, each tentacle attacks at your highest base
attack bonus with a -5 penalty. If you forgo all your other attacks, making only tentacle attacks, you make your tentacle attacks at your highest base
attack bonus with no penalty. These tentacles deal 2d8 points of
damage plus one-half your Strength bonus on each successful strike.
This power functions only while you inhabit your base form (for instance, you can't be metamorphed or polymorphed into another form, though you can use
breath of the black dragon, claws of the beast, and
bite of the wolf in conjunction with this power for your regular attacks), and while your mind resides within your own body.
Augment: For every additional
power point you spend, this power's
duration increases by 2 rounds.
