Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr.Satan" data-source="post: 5706835" data-attributes="member: 92340">Pseudonatural Wyrm (Su) Your can assume a wyrm-like form. Prerequisites: Immortal, pseudonatural creature (see Epic Level Handbook). Benefit: You can, at will, assume a wyrm-like form, rather than your normal pseudonatural form, and gain a dragon's bite attack (primary), 2 claw attacks (secondary), and tail attack (secondary), as a standard action. If your alternate form normally has a head and two forelimbs (-0 tentacles [CR -0; LA -0], etc.; see v5 Challenge Rating Document), your head and two forelimbs acquire a dragon's bite attack and 2 claw attacks and you sprout a dragon's tail. If your alternate form normally lacks a head and two forelimbs (+3 tentacles [CR +3; LA +5] if base creature possesses 1 bite attack and 2 claw attacks as these often become tentacle attacks [see Epic Level Handbook]; see v5 Challenge Rating Document), you lose three tentacles (-3 tentacles [CR -3; LA -5]; see v5 Challenge Rating Document) which become a dragons head, forelimbs, and tail. Your wyrm-like bite, 2 claws, and tail inflict base damage commensurate with your size and virtual size categories (see Immortal's Handbook:Epic Bestiary, Pg. 63; Table: D-15). If bipedal, your bite's reach is normal, your claws' reach is normal, and your tail's reach is equal to your space. If quadrupedal, your bite's reach is equal to your space, your claws' reach is normal, and your tail's reach is normal. Special: If your carapace/exoskeleton is subcutaneous, you can cause your carapace/exoskeleton to manifest cutaneously. If your tentacles manifest as prehensile hair, you can cause your tentacles to manifest as tentacles sprouting from your head, neck, shoulders, and/or spine when assuming your wyrm-like form. NB: Alternate form and similar abilities, effects, etc. can be used in conjunction with the Divine Immensity divine ability. I designed this for one of my characters. Mechanically it offers no real benefit aside from a tail and extended reach on a bite or tail attack (not both). Cosmetically, it makes my character look like a pseudonatural H.R. Giger-esque dragon when he's in his second alternate form. The claw and bite attacks are incidental as a sword is better and the half-dragon template is much more powerful. I almost made this an epic feat, but decided it was worth a divine ability slot. The CR/LA adjustment notations are more for my use than anyone else's but it is important enough to leave in since a pseudonatural troll has 3 tentacle attacks that a pseudonatural human doesn't get, it would affect a troll (or similar creature) differently. I did the math and the v5 CRD doesn't account for a pseudonatural troll's bite and claw attacks being turned into 3 tentacle attacks. Nor does the picture of the pseudonatural troll account for that, even though, by RAW it should. It's head is supposed to be a tentacle.</blockquote>
