Taking on monster abilities


Advice


I remember seeing an archetype for some class that allowed you to pick a monster ability to gain as your own. I think it was an alchemist... but I cant remember. And its actually gaining a SLA or an EX ability I think.

Beastmorph Alchemists can get certain abilities when using Mutagen. Is that what you're talking about?


No. I remember that one actually grantig special abilities. Like SLAs


Any 1?


Theres a ranger archetype which lets you have access to alot of feats based on monster types. But i doubt what your looking for exists.


Hmm... I remember seeing it. Something that lets you get monster SLAs. Maybe it was a PrC? Or a feat? I remember something about needing some sort of skill check, or maybe caster level check (but the person who showed it to me substituted the check for a craft check using a feat or something)


Can you just tell us what SLA you're after? Lots of different classes offer SLA in a variety of methods.

You're being very vague, so it's difficult to help you identify what you're after.

Such as the Lantern Bearer Prestiege class which comes with a ton of SLAs baked in, but probably not the ones you're looking for.


Im not after any particular sla.
I am bugged by this... thing I cant remember properly.

Maybe it was a feat that allowed you to "graft" the monsters ability to yourself? I remember the player who showed it to me was playing a non caster class and since the feat? required CL (I think) he substituted his craft? check for a CL one using another feat...


It sounds like you are describing some Final Fantasy-esque Blue Magic, which I'm sure there is a 3PP source for.

As for using magical crafting without a caster level, the Master Craftsman feat allows you to do such.


I think its some feat maybe... allowing you to "extract" a monsters ability, and using gold to fuse it to yourself.

To my knowledge there is nothing like what you are describing in a Paizo product.


It doesn't fit exactly what you are describing, but my answer to every question is Synthesist anyway.


It doesnt fit at all sadly.

This is some kind of grafting. Where you pay money and make a check of some sort to aquire an sla or maybe am EX ability of a monster of a certain HD range.

Sounds like Third Party shenanigans to me.

I would totally pick up the Split ability myself. *evil grin*


Fleshcrafting, perhaps?


I will go ahead and mention that I believe that adventure path was written for 3.5, and existed prior to Pathfinder RPG.

This.

Is a magic item creation feat, ergo caster level.
