Creatures afflicted with bog rot do not heal naturally and gain only one-half benefit from magical healing until the disease is cured. Unlike normal diseases, bog rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or receives a remove disease spell or similar magic.</p><p>Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid that dies from bog rot becomes a THING in 1d4 days unless a remove disease is cast (within one day after death) or the creature is brought back to life (raise dead is ineffective, but resurrection or true resurrection works). Spawn are under the command of the THING that created them and remain enslaved until their death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.</p><p>Despair (Su): At the mere sight of a THING, the viewer must succeed at a Will save (DC 16) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by that THING's despair ability for one day.</p><p>Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal only half damage to THINGs. Apply this effect before damage reduction.</p><p>Marsh Move (Ex): THINGs can move at their normal movement speed through mud, marshes, and swamp with no penalty.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Query #104</p><p>Also, need to change the name of this to avoid confusion, and possibly change the effect.</p><p>Electrical Resistance (Ex): The THING takes no damage from electrical effects, but is instead slowed for one round.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Query #105</p><p>Is this still good?</p><p>Underwater Concealment (Ex): The main body of the THING remains submerged even when attacking. This grants the THING three-quarters concealment against all attacks (30% miss chance).</p><p></p><p></p><p>Query #106</p><p>Check these out:</p><p>Despair (Su): At the sight of a THING, the viewer must succeed at a Will save (DC 15) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by that THING's despair ability for one day.</p><p>Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the THING must hit an opponent of Large size or smaller with its slam attack. If it gets a hold, it can use its curse of the deep ability. A THING has a grapple bonus of+6.</p><p>Curse of the Deep (Su): On a successful grapple check (grapple bonus +6) against a Large or smaller creature, a THING presses its lips against its opponent's and causes the victim's lungs to fill with water if the opponent fails a Fortitude save (DC 15). A failed save deals 1d4 points of damage per round until the victim dies. Holding one's breath does not prevent drowning damage (water is already in the lungs). A remove curse or heal spell halts the damage if applied before the victim dies.</p><p>Control Water (Su): Once per day, as control water cast by an 8th-level sorcerer.</p><p>Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal half damage to THINGs. This effect is applied before damage reduction.</p><p>(note that it also had DR 5/+1)</p></blockquote><p></p>

It is the result of an evil creature that was buried at sea for its sins in life. The wickedness permeating the former life has managed to cling even into unlife and revive the soul as a THING. A THING appears as a bloated, desiccated humanoid wrapped in torn and waterlogged bandages. #8 Medium Outsider (Native, Shapechanger) Hit Dice: 6d8+6 (33 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 30 ft.

The THING appears as a featureless humanoid creature whose arms end in large sucker-like membranes. The THING is thought to be of an alien culture; how it came to the Material Plane remains a mystery to sages. Some non-feat issues: Query #103 Check these out: Note that it had DR 5/+1 before, not sure how to reconcile this with the resistant to blows idea? Bog Rot (Su): Supernatural disease—slam, Fortitude save (DC 20), incubation period 1 day; damage 1d6 temporary from Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma (determine randomly using 1d4), secondary damage 1d6 temporary from the same ability score. Creatures afflicted with bog rot do not heal naturally and gain only one-half benefit from magical healing until the disease is cured. Unlike normal diseases, bog rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or receives a remove disease spell or similar magic. Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid that dies from bog rot becomes a THING in 1d4 days unless a remove disease is cast (within one day after death) or the creature is brought back to life (raise dead is ineffective, but resurrection or true resurrection works). Spawn are under the command of the THING that created them and remain enslaved until their death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life. Despair (Su): At the mere sight of a THING, the viewer must succeed at a Will save (DC 16) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by that THING's despair ability for one day. Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal only half damage to THINGs. Apply this effect before damage reduction. Marsh Move (Ex): THINGs can move at their normal movement speed through mud, marshes, and swamp with no penalty. Query #104 Also, need to change the name of this to avoid confusion, and possibly change the effect. Electrical Resistance (Ex): The THING takes no damage from electrical effects, but is instead slowed for one round. Query #105 Is this still good? Underwater Concealment (Ex): The main body of the THING remains submerged even when attacking. This grants the THING three-quarters concealment against all attacks (30% miss chance). Query #106 Check these out: Despair (Su): At the sight of a THING, the viewer must succeed at a Will save (DC 15) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by that THING's despair ability for one day. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the THING must hit an opponent of Large size or smaller with its slam attack. If it gets a hold, it can use its curse of the deep ability. A THING has a grapple bonus of+6. Curse of the Deep (Su): On a successful grapple check (grapple bonus +6) against a Large or smaller creature, a THING presses its lips against its opponent's and causes the victim's lungs to fill with water if the opponent fails a Fortitude save (DC 15). A failed save deals 1d4 points of damage per round until the victim dies. Holding one's breath does not prevent drowning damage (water is already in the lungs). A remove curse or heal spell halts the damage if applied before the victim dies. Control Water (Su): Once per day, as control water cast by an 8th-level sorcerer. Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal half damage to THINGs. This effect is applied before damage reduction. (note that it also had DR 5/+1) [/QUOTE]
