Starfinder: Desecrator Xeno-necro

dead-space-infector.jpg

My conversion of the Undead monstrosities from the Dead Space game trilogy continues with a particular Xeno-necro, which can seriously turn the tables on would-be adventurers. They create new Xeno-necros from corpses!

The mutant has a great deal of difficulty using any sort of weapon – any sort of item for that matter. If the mutant ever attempts to a gadget or item with its appendages, it must make a Dexterity check (roll under his Dexterity on a D20) or automatically drop it. Also activating or otherwise using the item if it somehow managed to keep hold of it always requires 1d6 plus the power score modifier in rounds. Furthermore using any weapon likewise suffers the same penalty, however, the mutant will suffer a penalty of three plus the power score modifier on any to hit roll. Oddly enough, the mutant has no issues using natural weapons, so these penalties do not apply in this case.

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 9d4+9 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 16) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 9d4+9 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target). If it succeeds, the creature will then drag the victim back to the hive to be used as a host. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d10+13 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +24 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +27.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Rapid Implantation (Ex) If the creature successfully grabs a target, it can attempt to strike with the inner jaw attack. The difference is if it so choses, the creature can shove the inner jaw down the throat of the victim, causing only half damage. As long as the creature maintains the grab, it can then begin to implant embryos, at the rate of 1 per round, up to a maximum of six embryos after six rounds. Each round the beast will inflict half the damage from the inner jaw attack, and it can sense if the victim is going to succumb to the injuries, at which point it will release the victim, having fulfilled its biological imperative. Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the embryo will continue to grow. It will take as little as an hour or as long as several days before the embryo has grown enough to survive outside the host. At this time the embryo will then tear through the chest of the victim, killing it in the process. Typically the victim will have 4d12 hours before the creature bursts through its chest. If the victim is given medical treatment (actual surgery), the victim has a chance to survive. A surgeon (life science, medicine) will need a successful roll (DC 16) to remove the embryo. If the roll fails, the victim dies in the process.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.

One or more aspect of the mutant has changed, marking it clearly as a mutant. While many mutants in the wastelands can sometimes pass as human, these particular mutants cannot.

Bizarre Appearance (coloration) (drawback)

First, the player should determine the characters starting hair, eye and skin color. This can easily be chosen based on the player’s choice. For example, a player might choose to have his character start with lightly tanned skin, blue eyes and blond hair. The same can be chosen if the player is creating a mutated animal. After the player has chosen these traits, he must then choose two of these to be affected by the bizarre pigmentation mutation. He chooses from hair, skin or eye color. Once the player has chosen which two are to be modified, consult the following steps:

 

Step 1: Number of different shades of coloration

After having determined the type of coloration, it is now time to determine how many different shades of coloration the mutant possesses. The vast majority of mutants will have one to three different shades, while more rare individuals will end up having as many as 10 or more different shades.

Step 2: Type of coloration

Roll Percentile dice to determine what kind of coloration the mutant has. Basic colors are yellow, red, blue, green etc. If Crystalline or Metallic are rolled, the hair, eyes or skin appear to be made of either type, but when touched feel like regular flesh or hair.

            Usually, the mutant will have the same overall type of coloration over his body. Take a mutant that has both the bizarre skin and hair coloration – most mutants will have both as a basic color or both will be metallic and so forth. On rare occasions, the mutant will have more than one type of coloration (see below).

            If the character rolls mixture, he then chooses two of the three types of color (for example, basic and crystalline color, or maybe metallic and crystalline), and then chooses which feature is which. Again, for example, the character can choose to have metallic eye color and crystalline hair, or basic skin color and metallic hair, etc.

As an alternate rule, if the player has rolled two or more shades of color for the mutant, he can, if the ML agrees, roll once for each type of coloration, re-rolling mixture. This way the mutant could end up having a mixture of basic, crystalline and even metallic color in his pigmentation.

Step 3: Coloration Patterns

In the case of mutants having more than one shade of coloration, the player should then determine the pattern as it appears on his body or hair.  This will be the general pattern for the coloration, so even if the mutant has more than 3 different shades of color, they will be of the same type of pattern. For example, a mutant with three different shades of basic color (red, green and yellow) rolls on the chart below. He gets striped as the color pattern, so the stripes along his body will vary between red, green and yellow.

            In the case where the mutant has dotted, splotchy, and spotted, the player should choose one of the colors to be the primary body color, and the other colors will make up the various spots, dots and splotches.

            Generally there are no patterns for eye color. The ML should allow the player to have an unusual pattern if he so desires.

Explanation of patterns:

Striped: The body, hair or eyes of the mutant have striping very much like that of a zebra or tiger.

Dotted: One color is dominant (chosen by the player), while the other or other colors are a series of variable sized, but perfectly round dots covering the mutants body.

Swirled: All the colors of the mutant’s body are swirled together, making for very strange patterns, in some cases much like what you would see on camouflaged clothing.

Splotchy: The colors of the mutant’s body are not spread evenly. There are some sections of his body that are mainly just one color, while other sections could be made up of two or more irregularly shaped splotches of color.

Spotted: As with dotted, the player chooses one color that is dominant, and the rest appear all over the mutant’s body as irregularly shaped spots, which also vary in size. Think of a Dalmatian.

Banded: The mutant’s colors appear as variably shaped bands all over the body.

Geometric: The colors are spread out in perfect geometric patterns on the mutant’s body. For example, a mutant with two colors could have his left side pure white, while his right side is pure black, or has a checker board pattern, or diamond pattern. Roll on the appropriate table below to determine the type of geometric pattern.

            When dealing with multiple colors, nature tends to locate patterns on specific parts of the body. Sometimes it can cover the entire body, while other times the pattern will be found on one part, or several different parts of the body.

            Consult the following tables to see how much of the body the pattern covers, and where the pattern is located.

75% of the body

71-85

50% of the body

86-95

25% of the body

96-100

10% of the body

 

            If the body is less than 50% covered by the pattern, the player should consult the location of pattern table to see which parts of the body are covered. Typically, say if the body is 50% covered, then that might include the torso (both the front and back, upper and lower), or maybe all four limbs (or more, if the mutant has multiple limbs). Optionally, if the player has 75% coverage, he can always roll on the appropriate table to see which part of the body is not covered by the pattern.

            In the case of 25% or 10% coverage, the hands or feet, or maybe the head, neck or shoulders or any combination thereof can be rolled or chosen for the location of the pattern.

            Half and half is not necessarily the correct term. The mutant could have three or more different colors, and they will be spread out evenly across his entire body, such as the black and white example above, or it could be black and white and yellow, in the case of three colors or any combination of.

 

Step 4: Color types

            Now that you have determined the type of coloration, the number of colors, the patterns and finally the shade intensity, it is time to find out what kind type of colors your mutant possesses. Each type of coloration will have its own table for determining the colors that could be found. Of course, the ML or player can choose the coloration, or add various shades to the list.

Shade intensity table

Roll

Shade Intensity

01-33

Dim

34-67

Regular

68-100

Bright

 

            By using intensity, it is possible for the mutant to have the same coloration, but of different shades. For example, a mutant has two different base color pigmentations, and he rolls red as the color twice. By using the shade intensity, he ends up rolling one as dim, the second as bright.

 

Bizarre Appearance (features) (drawback)

Genetic mutation has caused one or more changes in the features or appearance of the mutant. It is very possible for a mutant with multiple feature alterations to get rolls on the same chart. For example, a mutant with three changes could roll two off the hair chart and one off the skin chart. The combinations are endless. None of the altered features give any real bonus or penalties to actions or defenses, although the ML can choose to change that if he so desires. They will affect reaction rolls for those who dislike or hate mutants.

First, consult the following chart to see how many altered features the mutant possesses:

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 2d4+2 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 11) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 2d4+2 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target). If it succeeds, the creature will then drag the victim back to the hive to be used as a host. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+5 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +11 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +14.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Pack Tactics (Ex) When two or more of the creatures are together, they will hunt in packs the way canines such as wolves hunt. They will use tactics in an attempt to corner prey, and they will always attack at the same time to ensure they can get flanking.  For every two creatures in the pack hunting a single target, they will gain a +1 to hit.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Trip (Ex) The creature can attempt to trip its opponent as a Free Action without provoking an attack of opportunity if it hits with the specified attack. If the attempt fails, the Creature is not tripped in return.

Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 1d4 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to affect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 5 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 8) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 1d4 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Face Grab (Ex) The Face hugger has only one purpose in its existence – to find a host to implant the embryo. This creature will attempt to remain hidden and then jump onto a potential victim. It can strike at ranges of up to ten feet distance. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action.  The target is then allowed an Acrobatics (escape artists) DC 15 to try and free itself. If this fails, the face hugger then wraps itself around the head of the target, rendering it unconscious.  The implantation will then take 1d20 rounds to complete. Sometimes the face hugger will remain attached to the victim and keep it in this state for up to 4d6 hours. Once the face hugger has completed the implantation, it will eventually release the victim and die. The victim has been implanted (see below)

Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the embryo will continue to grow. It will take as little as an hour or as long as several days before the embryo has grown enough to survive outside the host. At this time the embryo will then tear through the chest of the victim, killing it in the process. Typically the victim will have 4d12 hours before the creature bursts through its chest. If the victim is given medical treatment (actual surgery), the victim has a chance to survive. A surgeon (life science, medicine) will need a successful roll (DC 16) to remove the embryo. If the roll fails, the victim dies in the process.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.

Special Abilities

Acid Ball (Ex) Once every 1d4+1 rounds, the Intellect is able to create a large ball of acid. The ball is one foot in diameter and it can be spit at any point within 250 ft. The ball will then explode, covering a 30 foot radius. All creatures in the area of effect are allowed a Reflex save (DC 25). Those who fail will suffer 8d6 acid damage, and will take an additional 3d4 points of acid damage per round (for 1d3 rounds) after. Those who succeed will take half damage and will not be affected by the lingering acid.

Ambush (Ex) The Xeno-necro is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Creeping Insanity (Su) All sentient life within a 3 mile radius of the Intellect is subjected to a psionic attack every twenty-four hours. A Will save (DC 30) is required to avoid the effects of this attack, and if it fails, the victim will lose 1d6 points of Wisdom. Once the victims Wisdom score reaches zero, they will go on a rampage, attacking anyone they encounter. They have no choice in this matter, and will continue to kill those they encounter until all life around them has been destroyed. If there are no more targets, the victims will then kill themselves. All those killed by the victim will rise up 1d6 rounds later as a Xeno-necro, with the slicer being the most common form encountered.

Death Echo (Su) Every time a Xeno-necro within a 5 mile radius of the Intellect is destroyed, it will lose hit points equal to 10% of the creatures total (rounded up), so if a Slicer is destroyed (13 hp), the Intellect will lose 2 hit points.

Energy Vulnerability The Intellect, like all Xeno-necro’s, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Penetrating Poison Gas (Su) The atmosphere around the Intellect is utterly toxic.  This gas is able to get into even the most tightly enclosed suits, and will even work in the vacuum of space. Anyone struck by the gas must make a Fort save (DC 28) or suffer 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage, and will become nauseated for 1d6 rounds.  This gas attack will only affect living creatures. The gas covers an area of 300 feet, centered on the Intellect.

Summon Xeno-necro (Su) The Intellect can call upon all Xeno-necro’s within a 5 mile radius, and the creatures will move at their maximum movement rate in order to reach the Intellect. It can also teleport up to four of the nearest Xeno-necros to any point within 150 feet of its current location. The Intellect is able to use this ability only once per hour.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Xeno-necro Absorption (Su) The Intellect is able to take any Xeno-necro within its range and literally absorb it back into its own mass. This will automatically heal damage the monster has sustained at the rate of 40% of the absorbed Xeno-necro’s hit point total. For example, if the Intellect grabs a Jugger Xeno-necro and absorbs it, the intellect will heal 27 hit points of damage.

Xeno-necro birth (Su) Anyone killed within a 200 ft. radius of the Intellect is forever dead, and will automatically rise in 1d3 rounds as a Xeno-necro of the Intellects choice.

Xeno-necro Subtype

These creatures are created through strange necromantic energies generated by an ancient artifact. The victims must be in the area of effect of the artifact for typically 7 plus 2d8 days. During this period, they suffer from strange and horrifying nightmares, and slip into depression and near the end become violent and suicidal.  The energies released by the artifact (which can vary in size from a small decoration, all the way up to a massive monolith), cause a fundamental change deep in the victim’s genetic code, causing them to mutate upon death into literal undead monster.  No one knows for certain as to the purpose of this, and why this happens, as the creators of the artifact have long since departed this plane of existence.

This subtype can be added to any humanoid corpse.  The humanoid automatically becomes Undead (gaining all the traits) and the subtype becomes Xeno-necro, likewise gaining the traits from such. All previous skills and feats are lost, and the creature retains a bare-minimum intellect, although its only desire is to hunt and kill. It cannot be reasoned with, spoken to or interacted with in any way.

It should be noted these creatures will only attack living, organic targets. They will ignore robots, androids and the like unless they come under attack from the aforementioned types.

Acid Ball (Ex) Once per day, the Regurger is able to create a large ball of acid. The ball is one foot in diameter and it can be spit at any point within 50 ft. The ball will then explode, covering a 20 foot radius. All creatures in the area of effect are allowed a Reflex save (DC 15).

Those who succeed will take half damage and will not be affected by the lingering acid.

Ambush (Ex) The Regurger is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The Regurger gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Blink (Su) The creature is constantly ‘blinking’ when it is moving and attacking. Each time this happens, time speeds up around the Blink. This gives the creature total concealment. This ability is constantly on.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Regurger are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Stench (Su) The creature has a powerful stench of sulfuric acid. If anyone comes within 15 feet of the creature, they must make a Fort saving throw (DC 15) or become nauseated as long as they remain within the area of effect.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Special Abilities

Ambush (Ex) The Gower is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The Splitter gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Grower are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Plow (Ex) As a full round action, the creature can designate a single individual as the target of a powerful bull-rush type attack. They require a straight line in order to make the attack, but have the advantage that anyone caught in that line of attack (including other Xeno-necros) will be subject to the slam attack. As it is a charge / bull-rush, the creature will gain a +6 (including improved combat maneuver), to hit but suffer a -2 penalty to both its KAC and EAC. Anything in the line of attack which has the Evade class ability are allowed a Ref save (DC 14) to avoid being hit by the creature.

Regeneration (Su) The Grower is capable of regenerating all but Acid and Fire damage. It does not matter how far into the negatives the creature has been dropped, unless the damage is of the type mentioned, it will eventually regenerate to the point it can fight once again. The creature has enough intelligence to wait until it has regenerated at least half of its hit-points before it will rise and attack once again, and will often ‘play dead’ until its body has had the time required before recommencing its assault.

Regenerative Spawn (Su) In the off chance a portion of the Grower’s body is blown off, the piece can and will regenerate a completely knew Grower. The piece is considered to be at negative  45 hit points for this purpose, and once it hits zero, it will then begin growing a new form. This will happen rapidly, and once it has reached 45 hit points, it will be fully functional and able to fight. The regenerating form is incapable of fighting or even defending itself before this, and is vulnerable to acid and fire attacks, which can potentially destroy it before it has finished re-growing.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Create Spawn (Su) The toxic gas produced by the Contaminator will turn any corpse within the area of effect (see below), into a Slicer Xeno-necro in 1d4 rounds.

Death Detonation (Su) Upon its death, the Contaminator will explode. This will cause 3d6 acid damage, in a 15 foot radius and a Ref save (DC 15) for half damage. Furthermore, anyone caught in the area of effect will suffer 1d2 points of acid damage per round for 1d4 rounds after the creature detonates. Furthermore, the Penetrating Poison Gas is likewise released upon its death (see below), unless it has already used up its allotment of discharges for the day.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Contaminator, like all Xeno-necro’s, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Penetrating Poison Gas (Su) As a full round action, the Contaminator is able to generate a cloud of noxious gas. This gas is able to get into even the most tightly enclosed suits, and will even work in the vacuum of space. Anyone struck by the gas must make a Fort save (DC 15) or suffer 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage, and will become nauseated for 1d6 rounds.  This gas attack will only affect living creatures. The gas covers an area of 30 feet, centered on the Contaminator. It can use this ability four times per day.

Ambush (Ex) The Protector is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Attack Pods (Su) The creature is able to produce a single attack pod as a free action once every second round. It can throw the pod up to 50 feet from its location as a single attack, or it can use a full round action and teleport the pod to any location within 200 feet of its position. Due to the Protectors innate knowledge of its surroundings, it does not need to be able to see the location in order to teleport it.

Camouflage (Su) Each creature is able to use this ability to match the surrounding’s almost perfectly. This is a full round action, and they will automatically gain an additional +10 to their stealth skill (which will stack with their ambush ability, above). As soon as they attack, the camouflage drops. They can also voluntarily drop it as a swift action.

During this period, they suffer from strange and horrifying nightmares, and slip into depression and near the end become violent and suicidal.  The energies released by the artifact (which can vary in size from a small decoration, all the way up to a massive monolith), cause a fundamental change deep in the victim’s genetic code, causing them to mutate upon death into literal undead monster.  No one knows for certain as to the purpose of this, and why this happens, as the creators of the artifact have long since departed this plane of existence.

This subtype can be added to any humanoid corpse.  The humanoid automatically becomes Undead (gaining all the traits) and the subtype becomes Xeno-necro, likewise gaining the traits from such. All previous skills and feats are lost, and the creature retains a bare-minimum intellect, although its only desire is to hunt and kill. It cannot be reasoned with, spoken to or interacted with in any way.

It should be noted these creatures will only attack living, organic targets. They will ignore robots, androids and the like unless they come under attack from the aforementioned types.

 

Required Creature Type: Undead

Traits: Ambush, energy vulnerability, toughened hide, all undead traits, immunity to cold.

Suggested Ability modifiers: Strength and Dexterity

Ambush (Ex) The Xeno-necro is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Energy Vulnerability The Xeno-necro, like all of this subtype, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Special Abilities

Acid Burst (Su) Once per day, the Gorgon can forcefully eject most of the acid from its central core. This area of effect is 30 feet, centered on the creature. All those caught in the area of effect must make a Ref save (DC 17) or suffer 5d6+10 points of Acid (E) damage. Those who make the save will suffer half damage and do not take the additional burning damage per round.  The acid will also continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, inflicting 2d6+5 damage per round.

Ambush (Ex) The Gorgon is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The Gorgon gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Gorgon are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Feeding Boost (Su) As a full round action, the monster is able to use its four limbs to rip apart a corpse. During this time it will feed the chunks of flesh through the membrane on the central torso. For every hit dice ingested this way, the creature will heal 1d6 points of damage. Furthermore, for every three hit dice consumed, the acid becomes more potent, and this translates to the acid damage doing an additional +1 per attack. So if the creature has consumed 9 hit dice of corpses, the acid damage will be increased by +3. This also includes the additional damage caused by the burning per round. The maximum additional damage the creature can do is +10. This will last for 24 hours.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Special Abilities

Ambush (Ex) The Blink is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The Splitter gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Blink (Su) The creature is constantly ‘blinking’ when it is moving and attacking. Each time this happens, time speeds up around the Blink. This gives the creature Total Concealment. This ability is constantly on.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Blink are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Stutter Jump (Su) As a move action, the creature can use a version of the blink ability. This allows the creature to move out of a threatened space without taking an attack of opportunity. The drawback is this ability will randomly put the Blink 1d6 x 5 feet away in a random direction. This ability will never put the creature in harm’s way, however, and if it appears next to an enemy, the enemy will not gain an attack of opportunity.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Special Abilities

Ambush (Ex) The Ambusher is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Camouflage (Su) Each creature is able to use this ability to match the surrounding’s almost perfectly. This is a full round action, and they will automatically gain an additional +10 to their stealth skill (which will stack with their ambush ability, above). As soon as they attack, the camouflage drops. They can also voluntarily drop it as a swift action.

Charge (Ex) As a full round action, the Ambusher can charge at any target in a straight line from its starting position. The head-butt gains +2 to hit, and the damage is increased to 2d6+3, and the target is automatically knocked prone if the attack hits. The downside is the creature’s EAC is reduced to 15 and its KAC to 17.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Ambusher are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Feed (Ex) When a target has been killed in combat, the Ambusher will stop to feed. This is an automatic reaction after killing prey, and the creature will regain 1d6+3 hit points per round of feeding, if it is damaged. It will not take any other action and will continue to feed for 1d4 rounds. It can also do this even if there are still targets available, if it has been wounded. Feeding is a full round action.

Keen Senses (Ex) Even though these creatures have no visible eyes, their senses are highly tuned and they are able to spot prey relatively easily. As such, they gain a +4 racial bonus to perception checks.

Scream (Su) As a free action, when the creature attacks, it can let out a blood-chilling scream. Anyone within 30 feet of the creature must make a Will save (DC 14) or become shaken for 1d3 rounds. There is no limit to the number of times it can use this ability, but typically only one creature will do this per round.

Tactics (Ex) When there are at least one additional Ambushers within 50 feet of the creature, it will gain a +1 to hit and +1 damage to all attacks. This will stack with flanking and is automatic. The bonus cannot be increased above +1 no matter how many Ambushers are in the area.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Ambush (Ex) The predator is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Automatic Flank (Su) When working with its companion, and if the arm blades have been extended, the creature will automatically gain flanking, as long as it and its companion are within 15 feet of the target they are attacking.

Energy Vulnerability (Ex) The Predator, like all Xeno-necro’s, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Extend Arm Blades (Su) As a standard action, the Predator can extend the length of its reach, increasing its reach to 15 feet. This does not increase the creatures space. It can keep the extended reach for as long as it desires.

Limited Regeneration (Su) This particular creature is able to regenerate from all damage except for acid and fire-based. Every round it will automatically regenerate 5 points of damage it has sustained. This regeneration is limited however – once it has regenerated 99 hit points, it will no longer be capable of regenerating the damage it has taken. The ability to regenerate will return after 24 hours has passed. This will also allow the creature to regenerate any limb which may have been broken or completely cut off. Doing so requires concentration and effort by the Predator, and requires two full rounds to complete.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Clinging (Ex) The Squirmer is capable of clinging to any surface, and retains its full movement speed. No acrobatics check is required.

Detonation (Su) The Squirmer really has only one type of attack. It will attempt to crawl up to a target and when it is within ten feet, it will detonate. This will cause 3d6 acid damage, in a twenty foot radius and a Ref save (DC 12) for half damage. Furthermore, anyone caught in the area of effect will suffer 1d2 points of acid damage per round for 1d4 rounds after the creature detonates. Only other squirmers are immune to this attack.

Special Abilities

Acid Ball (Ex) Once per day, the Vomitter is able to create a large ball of acid. The ball is one foot in diameter and it can be spit at any point within 50 ft. The ball will then explode, covering a 20 foot radius. All creatures in the area of effect are allowed a Reflex save (DC 15). Those who fail will suffer 4d6 acid damage, and will take an additional 1d4 points of acid damage per round (for 1d3 rounds) after. Those who succeed will take half damage and will not be affected by the lingering acid.

Acid Cone (Ex) Once per day, the Vomitter is able to generate a massive cone of acid. The cone is 30 ft. wide and all creatures in the area of effect are allowed a Reflex save (DC 15).

During this period, they suffer from strange and horrifying nightmares, and slip into depression and near the end become violent and suicidal.  The energies released by the artifact (which can vary in size from a small decoration, all the way up to a massive monolith), cause a fundamental change deep in the victim’s genetic code, causing them to mutate upon death into literal undead monster.  No one knows for certain as to the purpose of this, and why this happens, as the creators of the artifact have long since departed this plane of existence.

This subtype can be added to any humanoid corpse.  The humanoid automatically becomes Undead (gaining all the traits) and the subtype becomes Xeno-necro, likewise gaining the traits from such. All previous skills and feats are lost, and the creature retains a bare-minimum intellect, although its only desire is to hunt and kill. It cannot be reasoned with, spoken to or interacted with in any way.

It should be noted these creatures will only attack living, organic targets. They will ignore robots, androids and the like unless they come under attack from the aforementioned types.

Energy Vulnerability The Hoard, like all Xeno-necro’s, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Find the weakness (Ex) Whenever these creatures encounter an armored figure (unless it is powered armor or a fully-encasing type of armor), the KAC of the target is considered to be four less, due to the creatures being able to find small openings and weaknesses, and are able to get to the vulnerable flesh beneath.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.

Swarm Attack (Ex) The swarm is able to attack all targets in the area of effect. Each target has to be successfully hit in combat, however. Furthermore, the swarm can reach out an additional ten feet, and anything in that area of effect is subject to attacks at +1 and suffer only 1d6+1 damage. All those in the area of effect must make a Will (DC 13) save or become stunned until the end of their next round. Each round the victim is in the area of effect they must save or suffer the effects.

Special Abilities

Ambush (Ex) The Jugger is perfectly aware of the environment it inhabits, and as such it is able to use it to its advantage when hunting live prey to destroy. The creature gains a +4 racial bonus to Stealth as a result.

Clinging (Ex) The Desecrator is capable of clinging to any surface, and retains its full movement speed. No acrobatics check is required.

Create Spawn (Su) As a full round action and by striking a corpse with its proboscis, the creature can inject it with the fluids and genetic material to create a new Xeno-necro. The type of Xeno-necro created is up to the GM, but typically it will be a Slicer or Pouncer. This will take 1d4 rounds to complete the transformation. Smaller creatures such as Skulkers will require only a single round to create, while larger monstrosities such as the Jugger will require 1d4 rounds per corpse being used to create. It can also create other Desecrators, but will never create more than two others, and they take the longest to animate – typically 6+1d6 rounds. The only limit the monster has to creating other Xeno-necros is the number of corpses available to it.

Engulf (Ex) If both wing claws hit, the creature will automatically be engulfed in a horrible hug. The creature is allowed an attempt to break free every round (requiring a successful escape task from acrobatics to break free). Each round the creature will suffer 3d6+3 points of acid damage until it breaks free. If a target is killed in this manner, the Desecrator will continue to hold on for one more round, automatically infecting the victim and creating a new Xeno-necro.

Heal Xeno-necro (Su) These creatures are able to heal damage inflicted on other Xeno-necros. As a full round action, the creature can attach itself to the body of any Xeno-necro and inject the proboscis into it. This will immediately heal 2d4+4 points of damage sustained. As long as the Desecrator remains attached to the Xeno-necro, it will automatically heal damage inflicted.  It should be noted once a Xeno-necro is destroyed, the Desecrator cannot heal any further damage.

Energy Vulnerability The Desecrators, like all Xeno-necro’s, are particularly susceptible to energy attacks, such as lasers, plasma weapons, and other similar weapons. They suffer an additional +1 point of damage per dice when facing this type of attack.

Toughened Hide (Ex) The flesh may appear to be heavily damaged, but it has become infused with bone shards, giving the creature a natural armor bonus of +6.
