Transformation Stages
The Epic Alienist slowly transforms into an Epic Pseudonatural being, as follows (each stage fully replaces any prior stage's benefits):
Stage 1
HD The Epic Alienist's future hp are always the maximum possible result, regardless of class added.
Speed The Epic Alienist gains a 20% increase to speed (round to nearest multiple of 5)
AC The Epic Alienist gains a +5 natural armor bonus; use this, or the Alienist's existing bonus, whichever is higher.
Special Attacks: Constant Insight (su); The Epic Alienist gains a +1 Insight Bonus to all attacks.
Spell-Like Abilities Blur, at will, as if cast by a sorceror of 20th level, or the caster's arcane spellcaster level, whichever is higher.
Special Qualities
- Electricity and Acid resistance of a varying amount;
- Damage Reduction of a varying amount;
- Spell Resistance equal to twice the charactrs Class Levels in Epic Alienist, or a bonus to existing SR equal to the Alienist's class levels, whichever is higher.
These benefits are based on the table on ELH page 212, based on Epic Alienist class levels, minus 10 (so a 15th level Epic Alienist gains the benefits of the 4-7 HD line)
Abilities The Alienist gains +2 Strength, +1 Dexterity, and +1 Constitution, but loses 1 point of Wisdom (to a minimum of 3); this wisdom loss cannot be healed or reversed. Ability bonusses are considered racial adjustments.
Stage 2
HD The Epic Alienist's future hp are always the maximum possible result, regardless of class added. If the Epic Alienist does not already have maximum hitpoints, calculate how far short he or she is form that total, and give them hitpoints equal to one-third this number.
Remember this total for future Stages of Transformation!
