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.

In addition, she adds the spells from the Weather Domain to her spell list as long as she channels the Eulite.
