Weapon Fusions
| Name | Level | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | The leeching weapon fusion gives a weapon the leech critical hit effect. When you score a critical hit with the weapon, if at least one target of the attack takes damage equal to the weapon’s item level, you recover a number of Hit Points equal to the weapon’s item level, in addition to any other critical hit effect. This healing restores Hit Point damage first, followed by Stamina Points. Any healing in excess of your Hit Point damage and Stamina Point damage is lost. Once you have benefited from this healing, you cannot benefit from the leeching fusion again until you take a 10-minute rest and expend 1 Resolve Point to regain Stamina Points. | ||
| 8 | A weapon with the synesthetic fusion carries a trace of the Dreamers’ psychic energies. When you score a critical hit using a weapon with this fusion, the target must succeed at a Will save or the distinctions between its senses begin to blur in a particularly disorienting fashion. For 1d3 rounds, the affected creature’s speeds are halved and it takes a –4 penalty to attack rolls, AC, Reflex saves, and skill checks. A creature affected by a synesthetic weapon is immune to this effect from the same weapon for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting effect. If the weapon already has a critical hit effect, when you score a critical hit, you can apply either the weapon’s normal critical hit effect or the synesthetic effect. | ||
| 8 | An installed tritidair fusion causes a weapon to show a star field with one bright constellation, similar to the patterns on tritidair wings. You can activate or deactivate the tritidair fusion as a swift action. While the fusion is active, half the weapon’s damage becomes electricity damage, and the weapon gains the bright property. You can add this fusion to a weapon that already deals electricity damage, but then the fusion has no effect on the weapon’s damage other than to make it magical. If the weapon already deals two types of damage, you choose which one of them to replace with electricity damage each time you activate the tritidair fusion. When you score a critical hit with a weapon that has an active tritidair fusion, the target must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be blinded for 1d3 rounds. If the weapon already has a critical hit effect, when you score a critical hit, you can apply either the weapon’s normal critical hit effect or this blinded effect. This fusion never causes a weapon that normally targets KAC to target EAC. |

NPC Template Grafts
| More imposing and beautiful than their mundane kin, an aasimar has celestial ancestry. |
| Airborne creatures spend a good part of their life aloft. |
| An aquatic creature lives much, if not all, of its life in the water. |
| A creature is arboreal if it not only lives in forests but also lives primarily in the trees. |
| Constant cold forces an arctic creature to adapt to frigid conditions. Many constantly frozen regions are also deserts. |
| The animated skeleton of a dead creature, a bone trooper retains the Intelligence score, skills, and abilities the dead creature had when alive, making the bone trooper a far more formidable combatant than typical mindless undead are. |
| Brass dragons are garrulous and often live near civilized areas to indulge in the latest gossip. They enjoy conversation immensely and much prefer talking over fighting. |
| Often found near seas and lakes, bronze dragons aid travelers of noble intent. |
| Cloud giants live on floating citadels in the swirling atmospheres of gas planets. |
| A creature that has the colour-blighted graft is hideously deformed and glows with the disturbing color of the creature that blighted it. |
| Copper dragons are mischievous and enjoy playing pranks on both allies and enemies. |
| The animated corpse of a dead creature, a corpsefolk keeps the abilities, intelligence, and skills it had when it was alive. Most corpsefolk are cunning and dangerous foes rather than mindless undead. They lack most of the needs, much of the fear, and many mortal vulnerabilities that can hold back the living. |
| The arid conditions of a desert breed tough creatures. Many desert creatures also have the arctic or thermic environmental graft, representing particularly cold or hot deserts. |
| This creature’s unnatural abilities allow it to feed on emotions. |
| From sweltering jungles to frosty taigas, forests shelter abundant creature life. |

| Lunar dragons often seek out civilizations that have yet to achieve space travel and help the scientists there to achieve it. |
| Ample vegetation and water make marshes a fine home for countless creatures. |
| Moon giants are normally placid scholars, but they are easily swayed by lunar phases or malign celestial influences. |
| The high, rugged terrain that makes up mountains is difficult to navigate and can be cold and dry. Creatures that live in such regions are accustomed to the thin air. |
| Flat land makes for creatures with good vision who are used to free movement. |
| Any terrain might be radioactive, but such territory is often desolate like a desert. |
| Silver dragons hold themselves to an unimpeachable code of courage and honor. |
| The stars themselves sometimes have bizarre ecosystems. |
| Solar dragons believe themselves to be the originators of light and life in the universe. |
| Numerous bizarre species are native to the airless gulfs of outer space. Some of these creatures hibernate for countless years, reawakening when they meet potential prey, while others remain awake, actively hunting for food or other necessities, even approaching planets in search of prey. |
| Some stone giants are simple herders on distant, pastoral worlds, while others carve unfathomably huge starships and space stations from asteroids. |
| Storm giants build their strongholds in planet-sized storms and other destructive locales, priding themselves in forging hospitable homes out of extreme environments. |
| Creatures that live underground have unique habits and abilities. Most subterranean beasts live the majority of their lives burrowing in the ground. Others live in warrens they dig or in caverns and similar natural structures. Some planets have subterranean realms rich with life, while other such regions are as desolate as any desert. |
| A region is thermic when it consistently has hot or hotter weather, perhaps due to volcanic or geothermic activity. Thermic areas are commonly arid and contain little or no vegetation, save those plant species that can survive in such a hostile environment. |
| Fiendish blood grants a tiefling their supernatural defenses and abilities. |
| Time dragons stand guard against all those who would disrupt the natural temporal order. |
| Ancient and terrible entities that dwell outside of space have driven many void dragons beyond reason, and now they do nothing but feed and destroy. |

| Masters of spaceflight, vortex dragons sometimes serve as emissaries for the most powerful of galactic entities. |
NPC Universal Creature Rules
| As a standard action, the creature can move up to its speed, moving into or through the space of any creatures that are at least one size smaller than itself without penalty. Every creature in the engulfing creature’s path is automatically engulfed with no attack roll needed. A targeted creature can attempt a Reflex saving throw to avoid being engulfed; if it attempts this save, it can’t make an attack of opportunity against the engulfing creature due to that creature’s movement. On a successful save, the target is pushed back or aside (target’s choice) as the engulfing creature continues to move. An engulfed creature gains the pinned condition, takes the listed damage at the beginning of each turn it’s engulfed, is in danger of suffocating if it doesn’t have environmental protections, and is trapped within the engulfing creature’s body until it’s no longer pinned. An engulfed creature moves with the engulfing creature; this movement doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity against the engulfed creature. A creature can engulf one creature that’s one size smaller than itself, up to two creatures that are two sizes smaller, or up to four creatures that are three sizes smaller. |
| When the creature charges, it can attempt a trip combat maneuver in place of the normal melee attack. In addition, the creature can charge without taking the normal charge penalties to its attack roll or AC. If the creature has another ability that allows it to charge without taking these penalties (such as the charge attack ability from the soldier’s blitz fighting style), it also gains the ability to charge through difficult terrain. |
| The creature’s weapons are manufactured weapons, not natural weapons, and they are integrated into its frame. A creature can’t be disarmed of these weapons, though they can be removed and used if the creature is dead. |
| The creature has the number of arms listed. This allows it to wield and hold up to that many hands’ worth of weapons and equipment. While this increases the number of items it can have at the ready, it doesn’t increase the number of attacks it can make during combat. |
| The creature can survive within a star despite the luminance, pressure, radiation, and convection currents. In addition, while within a star, the creature can move as if it had a supernatural fly speed equal to its fastest speed. |
| The creature can fly through space at standard navigation and astrogation speeds using Piloting to navigate. If it uses a skill other than Piloting for skill checks to astrogate, that skill is listed in parentheses. |
| The creature can climb as though affected by the spell spider climb. |
| The creature is aligned to the cycles of solar systems. Creatures with stellar alignment usually have stellar revelations and zenith revelations, either ones from the solarian class or ones unique to the creature. When using stellar revelations, the creature is always considered attuned. However, it’s not always considered fully attuned, so it normally can’t always use zenith powers. When you roll initiative for the creature, roll 1d3. Once that many rounds have elapsed, the creature is considered fully attuned and gains access to its zenith powers. After it uses a zenith power, it’s no longer fully attuned, and you roll 1d3 again to see how many rounds it will take to recharge. |
| A creature with void adaptation is inured to the void of outer space and has the following abilities. |
