[sblock=Abilities]Kaorti
* Exotic Weapon Proficiency (ribbon dagger)
* Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day alter self, color spray, feather fall, ray
of enfeeblement, reduce, spider climb Caster level 2nd DC 14+spell level
* Vile Transformation (Su): A kaorti can infuse any living creature with
otherworldly essense from the Far Realm, permanently transforming it into a
mockery of its previous form. The process takes 8 hrs, during which time the
kaorti's jaws must be locked onto the victim, who must be willing or
helpless for the duration. After 8hrs the victim must make a DC 11 Fort
save. Failure indicates that the victim transforms into a kaorti if
humanoid, or into a kaorti thrall. If the victim suceeds at the save, the
kaorti can attempt the tranformation again; each additional attempt raises
the save DC by +1. Creature tranformed into kaortis retain any class
abilities and modify their ability scores as follows: Str -4, Dex +4, Int
+4, Cha +6. They become neutral evil and embrace the racial ethos of the
kaortis. They gain all the other abilities and disadvantages of a standard
kaorti. This transformation is the only way the kaorti can propagate their
kind. A victim transformed into a kaorti thrall gains the fiendish creature
template, except that instead of gaining the smite good SA it gains the
ability to cast true strike on itself 1/day (the pseudonatural creature
template (Complete Arcane) may be used instead at DM discretion).
* Material Vulnerability (Ex): The material plain is painful to an
unprotected kaorti. An unprotected kaorti must make a Fort svae each hour
(DC 15 +1 per previous check) or take d6 subdual damage and become fatigued.
The fatigued condition persists until the kaorti recovers all the subdual
damage it took from exposure. If a kaorti is rendered unconscious from
subdual damage (from this or another source), the Material Plane environs
begin to deal normal damage at the same rate (Fort sve neg. DC continues to
increase as normal). A Kaorti wearing a resin suit, or a kaorti inside a
cyst is protected from the effects of the material plane.
* Outsider Traits: Kaortis have darkvision 60' and cannot be raised or
resurrected.
* +8 racial bonus to Heal
Phrenic
* 3/day—defensive precognition, empty mind, mind thrust, intellect
fortress 1/day – force screen, body adjustment, brain lock, aversion,
psionic blast, psychic crush
* 1 pp
* Power Resistance 20
* May take psionic feats
Cleric
* Trickery Domain - Hide,Bluff & Disguise as class skills
* Time Domain - Improved Initiative as a bonus feat
Warlock
* Eldritch Blast 1d6
Fiend of Possession
* Ethereal Form(Su): Become Ethereal at will as if casting Etherealness
(17th caster level). Possessing an object or creature effectively ends a use
of this ability, so time spent in another body or object doesn't count
against the duration of this ability.
* Hide Presence(Ex): When possessing an object or creature a FoP can
hide it's presence by making a special hide check, DC equals DC of spell[+4
bonus if FoP isn't controlling the object or creature. A successful check
allows the FoP to avoid virtually anything that would betray it's presence
in the possessed creature or object. Thus it can pass through a magic circle
against evil, enter a temple warded by a forbiddance, or escape detect via
detect evil. When possessing a creature a FoP can make this hide check to
protect the possessed creature from the full effects of alignment based
spells such as holy smite. If the fiend makes a successful hide check, then
the possessed creatures takes damage appropriate to it's actual alignment,
but if the check fails the creature is affected as if it were the fiend.
* Possess Object(Su): Possess item from Tiny to Colossal size,
unattended nonmagical items are automatically possessed, magic items and
attended items receive a save [DC28]. A FoP becomes part of the object it
possesses, so it is no longer ethereal. The FoP is aware of what is going on
around the object, it can see and hear up to 60 feet away. In any round in
which it takes no other action [such as using a spell-like ability], it
extends it's senses to twice it's normal range [120]. The fiend is
vulnerable to spells that specifically affect outsiders or creatures or the
fiends alignment such as holy word, holy smite etc, and is affected by
mind-affecting spells but not physical attacks. Harming the object does not
harm the fiend, although if the object is destroyed, the FoP is forced back
into it's ethereal form. When possessing an object a FoP can use any ability
it has that requires no physical action, such as using a spell-like ability
or telepathy. It can't cast spells, attack physically, or perform any other
physical action, until it reaches a high enough level to make the possessed
object perform these tasks.
* Curse(Su): Can cause items to radiate a corrupt and befouling nature,
anyone touching the item must make a will save [DC28] or be subject to a
bestow curse effect. The affected creature doesn't know that the curse came
from the item.
* Magic Item(Su): Can cause weapons or armour to function as magical
items. Powers up to the FoP class level[+6] can be bestowed upon the item,
if the item is already magical the FoP can increase the powers of the item
equal to his class level. If a FoP possessing an item attempts to possess a
creature that uses the item or keeps it on it's person, the target's save DC
increases by 1 for each day the possessed item has been on it's person [to a
maximum of +10]. A character making a search check [DC25] while examining
the possessed item can tell that there is something strange about it.
* Control Object(Su): When possessing an item with inherent mobility, a
FoP can control the objects movement. The FoP can cause the vehicle or
similar object to move at a speed up to the fiends own land speed in it's
corporeal form. Other moving parts such as a clocks hands or a crossbows
firing mechanism, are under the FoP control. Thus a FoP could make a wagon
steer towards a pedestrian, or roll out of a stable without a horse
attacked. It could make a crossbow arm and fire [but not aim itself].
Exerting control is a free action, though actually moving an object requires
a move action.
* Animate Object(Su): A FoP may animate [as the animate object spell] an
object with no inherent moving parts.
* Possess Creature(Su): A FoP may possess creatures as well as objects,
an unprotected target must make a will save [DC28, evil creatures have a -2
save], if the save is successful the target is immune to this ability for 24
hours. A FoP which possess a creature becomes part of the victim, thus it
can't be targeted by spells or attacks separately from the victim. Damage
taken by the possessed creature has no effect on the FoP. If the victim dies
the FoP is forced back into it's ethereal form. The FoP ca sense anything
the victim can, at any time the FoP can telepathically communicate with the
victim by projecting words in any language the victim understands. The FoP
is constantly aware of the victims current thoughts and it can choose to
probe it's memories as well, but the victim is allowed a Will save [DC24].
* Ally or Enemy(Su): A FoP may reward of punish any willing creature it
possesses, the FoP may bestow a +4 or -4 profane bonus to any of the
creatures ability scores as a free action.
* Possess Noncontinuous Object(Su): A FoP possess object ability becomes
more loosely defined, thus a FoP may possess a pool of water, a cloud of
dust, or a section of wall or floor.
* Control Creature(Su): A FoP may exert direct control over a creature
it is possessing. Attempting to establish control is a standard action, the
victim must make a Will saving throw [DC25 or DC27 buffed] each round until the FoP
abandons the attempt, or the victim fails the save or the victims make three
consecutive saves, indicating that the FoP can't control the victim that
day. Once control is established the FoP automatically maintains control for
12+ [6 + Cha mod + 1 for each previous occasion] rounds. When in control of
a victim, the FoP has access to all of the creatures skills, feats, and
spell knowledge. The fiend now acts as though it is the creature in all
respects. The FoP uses it's own Int, Wis and Cha scores, but adopts all of
the victims physical ability scores. The FoP can make use of it's own
spell-like abilities as well. The FoP retains the creatures type and is
affected by spells and other effects as if it were the possessed creature.
The Fiend can choose whether the possessed creature retains awareness of
it's bodies senses and actions, in which case it mentally communicates with
the fiend, or simply blacks out for the duration of the control.
Ending Possession: Spells such as dismissal and banishment are among the
only effects that can target a FoP separately from the object or creature it
inhabits. When these spells are directed against the FoP, the spell effect
is resolved as if the fiend were in its normal, corporeal form, using its
own Hit Dice, saving throws, ability scores etc. If successful, these spells
drives the fiend out of the victim and back to it's home plane. Holy Word
and similar spells can also drive out a possessing fiend and send it back to
it's home plane, but a FoP can hide it's presence to escape the effect of
such spells. Certain other special abilities (such as the granted power of
the Exorcism prestige domain) can force a FoP out of a victim and back into
it's ethereal form.[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Kaelvorr thrilled as the otherworldy energies began to course into his body,
but soon after he went into convulsions. The kaorti hesitated, displeased at
the unexpected reaction, but continued as their numbers were depleted and
the territory had already proven quite hazardous. As they worked, their
charge's body shrivelled and elongated as normal but the brain case also
swelled in a curious fashion. As the newly transformed Kaelvorr came to its
senses, it knew that its parturition heralded a great and terrible new dawn
for the kaorti. It took little time to wrest control of the depleted
fledgling cyst. Once that was accomplished, Kaelvorr set about making
alliances that might provide the leverage to bring it and its brethren to
greater prominence. A pact with a rading band of githyanki began as an
unrewarding venture. But soon the astral raiders let their guard down and
the kaorti were able to increase their numbers. Before being converted, one
of the githyanki was 'convinced' to inform Kaelvorr of a sacrificial ritual
believed to contact certain entities in the Abyss. After some guesome trial
and error the psychic fiend was able to reach a nameless abyssal denizen
willing to teach new methods of establishing mental control in return for a
steady trickle of kaorti slaves. The powers provided by the tutelage
allowed kaelvorr to swell the ranks of its cyst, some of whom were in turn
sent off to serve its demonic mentor. And when offerred a piece
to an entirely new Prime Material, in return for help subjugating the new
world, Kaelvorr jumped at the chance.[/sblock]
