Okay, I've been looking for something to use for when a character needs to duplicate another character, or maybe create a whole new one. And since the "Clone" spell insists that the Flesh is Inert. And Simulacrum says that the Creature doesn't improve in levels...
So, Homestuck Inspired "Ecto-Biology" it is then. And with that, I can probably come up with a few other things I wanted.
These are idea's I just came up with in a spare hour of my time. They have not been formalised or balanced yet. Assume they can work as either Alchemist Extracts, Wizard/Sorcerer Spells, or Oracle/Cleric Spells. Also, These have the possibility of being horribly broken and abused.
So, Shall we?
Copy Soul: Allows the Caster/Alchemist to use raw matter of Life energy to create a relatively acurate representation of an existing being's soul. The soul is stored in a Gem (Cost approximately that of "Trap Soul") for future use in other spells. If used in the creation of a creature, the creature it is built into will have the Levels, feats, and chosen class abilities of the being it is modeled after as of the time of the copy's creation. (Spell Level 6?)
Imbue Clone: Inserts a trapped or copied soul into a spare clone or other inert Body. The Body and the soul does not need to be of the same being, but mismatched races of the two will cause the need to redistribute some race base attributes, similar to using reincarnate. Apply Negative Levels as normal for the spells used to create the body.
(Spell Level 6?)
Chimeric Clone: Creates an inert Body, similar to Clone, using the genetic features of two different creatures. Half the racial traits of each creature are mixed together for the resulting creature. Can be used as a normal Clone for one of the cloned creatures, or imbued with the Imbue Clone spell/extract. Functions Similar to reincarate, but with the Race already determined. (Spell Level 6?)
Enhance Clone: Using Energy Siphoned from another Plane, one can enhance a Clone or inert body with Planar Traits. The Resulting Clone will be of the Outsider Type with any subtypes appropriate for the chosen Plane. For the outer planes, Apply the Celestial, Resolute, Entropic, and Feindish Templates as they apply to the Plane in Question. Also apply the advanced template to the resulting Creature. (Spell Level 6?)
Create Replicant: Creates a Mechanical Body that Functions similarly to a Clone or inert Body.Can be used as a normal Clone, or imbued with the Imbue Clone spell/extract. The resulting body functions as a construct with the Robot Subtype, save that it can be Raised, Resurected, or reincarnated. The Body can be made without the spell, much like a construct, for the Cost of an Appropriately sized Construct, plus the 50% cost for the Robot subtype; however, this method will not automatically awaken on the Origional's death, and must have Imbue Clone cast on it to function.(Spell Level 6?)
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
