Explorer's Cradle

Travelers on alien worlds must be prepared to confront a variety of difficult environments. This long-range powered armor resembles a humanoid torso atop several bristly metal tendrils ending in sharp, grasping claws. The armor has comfortable seating and a supply of nutritious paste delivered intravenously; while wearing an explorer's cradle, you do not need to eat or drink. As a standard action, you can extend and reshape the tentacles into a variety of forms resembling limbs, fins, or wings, gaining one of the following abilities until you next rearrange the tentacles.

• Bladed Strikes: The damage dealt by this armor increases to 4d8 slashing damage.
• Climbing Claws: You gain a climb speed of 20 feet.
• Creeping Legs: Your movement is not slowed by difficult terrain, although you still cannot run or charge through difficult terrain.
• Fluttering Wings: The tentacles splay out behind you and form connective membranes to create wings, granting you a fly speed of 20 feet with clumsy maneuverability.
• Undulating Tendrils: You gain a swim speed of 20 feet.
