Test subjects follow the rules of a druid's animal companion, using the immortal HD as his druid level, with the following changes.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Its type changes to aberration (augmented) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gains darkvision 60 ft. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Has Bad Fortitude and Reflex saves </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Has Good Will saves </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skill points equal to 4 + Int modifier (minimum 1) per Hit Die </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The following are class skills for test subjects: Acrobatics, Climb, Escape Artist, Fly, Intimidate, Knowledge (pick one), Perception, Spellcraft, Stealth, Survival, and Swim </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At druid level 6, instead of devotion the test subject gains Fast Healing 3 </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At druid level 15, instead of improved evasion the test subject gains Regeneration 5 (acid or fire) </li> </ul>In addition, the test subject gains a dim but palatable sentience over its fellow animals. It does not learn bonus tricks, instead it's Int score becomes 3 + double the number of bonus tricks normally listed for an animal companion and speak all languages know by his immortal. Like a druid, an immortal may gain a new subject with 24 uninterrupted hours. Some seek out appropriate animals, but others, generally less morally strict immortals, grow new companions out of cell cultures and magic for the sole purpose of becoming their battle ally.If the Immortal already has an animal companion, this change apply to him and also gains the <a href="https://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/monsterlegend.shtml" target="_blank">Monster of Legend</a> template (it does not change its type in outsider).1 Technomancy: As detect magic, except detects the presence of technological objects instead of magical objects.2 Protection from Technology: +2 to

in this realm.Science Template (Single Portfolio)Appearance: The immortal appears normal.Behavior: These immortals are inquisitive and always tinkering with some idea or contraption.Science Template (Double Portfolio)Appearance: The immortal appears normal.Demeanor: The immortal is more often than not preoccupied with some equation or interpreting situations as equations to better formulate a
