Weapon Fusions
| Name | Level | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The climbing weapon fusion allows a weapon to grip onto most surfaces, allowing its wielder to climb while holding the weapon. For the purposes of Athletics checks to climb, a hand wielding a climbing weapon counts toward the two hands needed to climb. This weapon fusion can be installed only in weapons that require only one hand to wield. | ||
| 2 | The dimming weapon fusion douses any technological lights carried by the targets of its attacks. On a hit with a dimming weapon, any technological light sources that the target is carrying or wearing, such as portable lights, cease to function until the end of your next turn. This doesn’t affect any other functions of these light sources other than their light-producing capability. | ||
| 4 | The echoing weapon fusion reflects the sound waves emitted by sonic weapons off nearby surfaces to reveal previously hidden creatures. When you hit with an echoing weapon, you gain blindsense (sound) with a range of 30 feet until the end of your next turn. This weapon fusion can be installed only in weapons in the sonic category. | ||
| 2 | The glowing weapon fusion casts a target in a glowing sheen, allowing others to discern it even in the darkness. On a successful hit with a glowing weapon, the target can be observed until the start of your next turn as if it were in normal light conditions, regardless of light level. This glow also casts squares adjacent to the target in dim light for the same duration. | ||
| 3 | The launching weapon fusion allows you to either strike or fire a magically empowered shot into the ground to propel yourself into the air. This functions as the jump jets armor upgrade (Core Rulebook 205), except that it requires a standard action and consumes ammunition according to the weapon’s normal usage. This weapon fusion can be installed only in powered melee weapons and in ranged weapons that use ammunition. | ||
| 1 | The mining weapon fusion allows a weapon to become a tool for digging through rock and dirt, carving through such materials easily. A mining weapon ignores an amount of hardness equal to the weapon’s level for all walls made of unworked stone or softer materials. This has no effect on materials harder than unworked stone, such as steel. This weapon fusion can be installed only in two-handed melee weapons. | ||
| 6 | The tunneling weapon fusion transforms a heavy weapon into a tool that can carve tunnels into stone. As a full action, you can fire a tunneling weapon at a wall made of unworked stone or softer materials, blasting open a space 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide, and a number of feet deep equal to half the weapon’s range or range increment; if the wall is made of harder material, this has no effect. This requires the expenditure of ammunition equal to triple the weapon’s normal usage, and you must be within the first range increment of the tunneling weapon from the wall to use the weapon in this way. The blast leaves behind rubble in all squares of the newly created space, which is difficult terrain. Any creature in the way of this blast must attempt a DC 15 Reflex save. On a failure, that creature takes half the weapon’s normal damage. This applies no other effects from the weapon other than damage. This weapon fusion can be installed only in heavy weapons that deal kinetic or energy damage. |

Creature Companion Graft
| Bhandas are slender, pale, lemur-like creatures that mimic the hunting cry of a winged apex predator to flush out prey. |
| Reanimated from several smaller bodies and fused into a vaguely saurian shape, chostolichi servitors develop a pack mentality that desperately seeks a leader. |
| Natives of Vesk-3, ilskitts look like brightly colored owls with weasel-like torsos. They love to steal and hoard objects, and they are known to bring their owners gifts of items they “find.” |
| The mysterious spectra defend the Drift, and some can appear on multiple planes simultaneously. When an iridia spectra leaves the Material Plane, it sometimes leaves behind a crystalline, humanoid husk known as an iridian echo. |
| Originating in the jungles of Ukulam on Castrovel, izhashes are fearsome ambush predators with sensitive feeler tendrils. |
| This squat hexapod’s body has radial symmetry and resembles a starfish with tall, fern-like crests that chime softly when rustled. They filter feed on sounds, migrating slowly to absorb a varied diet. |
