Metamorph Medium The Metamorph Medium is an archetype of the Medium Class, designed for Entobian Mediums without the Prepare for Metamorphosis feat. A Metamorph Medium who gains this Prepare for Metamorphosis feat immediately loses the benefits of this archetype and becomes a regular medium. Metamorphosis Channeler (Su) A metamorph medium channels its potential forms at locations different from where a normal medium channels her spirits. The metamorph medium channels the colephite (which acts as the guardian) in dark or enclosed spaces; The eulite (which acts as the hierophant) around fires or outside at night; the Farfalite (which acts as the archmage) in the midst of flowers; the moscanite (which acts as the trickster) near rotting food; the mantoite (mantis-like form which acts as the champion) in woodlands, and the gryllite (cricket-like form which acts as the marshal) in tall grasses. Rather than holding a séance, the metamorph medium surrounds herself in a cocoon for an hour after which she resembles the form of the spirit she selected. This ability alters spirit. Natural Taboo (Ex) A metamorph medium gains the taboo ability at 1st level. Regardless of which form she channels, each day she must accept the hierophant taboo to strongly revere nature and avoid metal armor. The metamorph medium gains two free uses of spirit surge from accepting this taboo, as normal. This ability alters taboo. Metamorph Size (Su) At 2nd level, a metamorph medium's size category increases by one step gaining the appropriate size modifiers whenever she is channeling one of her spirit forms. This ability replaces shared séance. Spirit Form, Lesser (Su) At 3rd level, a metamorph medium gains defensive abilities based on its chosen spirit form while it channels it. Colephite (Chitinous Armor): +2 Natural Armor
This ability replaces Haunt channeler Entobian Senses (Ex)
This ability replaces Location channel Spirit Form, Intermediate (Su)
Colephite (Flight): Using the wings under it's carapace, the medium gains a 20 ft fly speed with poor maneuverability, the medium can fly even while under a heavy load.
This ability replaces Connection channel Ask Nature (Su)
While she can do so any number of times per day, she can ask questions of a particular area only once per day. Afterward, she must move to a non-overlapping area to use this ability again. This ability replaces ask the spirits. Spirit Form, Greater (Su)
Colephite (Greater Absorb Blow): By taking a total defense action, the medium's Damage Reduction and Resistances gained from the Absorb Blow class feature increases to be equal to her metamorph medium level until the start of her next turn.
This ability replaces Astral Projection Matron Form (Su)
The medium can end Matron Form as a free action. This ability replaces Trance of Three. Spirit Form, Supreme (Su)
Colephite (Magic Resistant Carapace): Gain Spell Resistance 10+Medium Level.
This ability replaces Spacious Soul. Long Live the Queen (Su)
This ability replaces Astral Beacon.
I think I found it, thanks. So it would make Grand Intercession always the extended amount of rounds, but wouldn't reduce the cost of Temporal Interruption right?
Hey Jolly, question: Are time scions as strong as they seem? Once they reach 20th level the burn reduction on their talents means at will time stops and at will time interrupt right? Or am I missing something?
Fair points on all accounts Sphynx, to be honest the occultist is the class I was least familiar with going into this. I definitely see what you mean about it being overpowered when compared to the other options for VMC. Wouldn't reducing the amount of Mental Focus the character get bring it more in to balance with the way the other VMC have been handled? I'm not quite sure how much would be appropriate.
True, I'll add the burn mechanics and cap in the next iteration and the element choice at 1st level; well as is, as they get the whole seance mechanic they still have to avoid accruing too much influence or suffer the spirit drawbacks. Or do you mean there is no innate downside such as suffering the Spirit's influence penalty automatically?
That's a fair point, I think that full is probably too much when compared to the other options for VMC, but maybe either 3+Int or half character level with no int might be alright.
Nice work! Not to toot my own horn, but rather to provide a complementary contribution, I have done a writeup on Consolidated/Background Skills for Occult Characters. Good stuff
I agree, I feel that extra wild talent is probably too good as some of them give too much flexibility, but any others are probably fine.
Do any of the classes qualify for additional X power? How do you mean? The extra *blank* feats? I said no extra talent feats, but that's the only one so far.
Nice save, I've changed it in the original post. And in terms of weapons I assume you mean the battle oracle with the right revelation right?
