Alienist Summoner Archetype (my tribute to Mr. Giger)

[Myrryr]

So, a while ago I picked up the Beyond the Void supplement from Legendary Games and I liked a lot of the stuff in it, but the summoner archetype didn't feel quite right to me. So I re-designed it to feel more Alieny.

Behold! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PqaHvivdxuvlutzVAb4l1xi1nY8OodyOmSdwOf9 HlWI/edit

I'd like to hear thoughts and such on it and especially if it helped to capture that 'rapey' feel of H.R. Giger's creations. Well... moreso than aberrations in all of their tentacley goodness already have anyway. Didn't have to add much for that.

Also, the embryonic template is mostly copied from the Beyond the Void, but altered a bit for what I and a friend feel is some needed balance, but the credit still goes to them for that template.

Linkified for you...

There appears to have been an errant space somewhere in there, so I fixed it up for you!

That is really creepy when it gets the parasite ability...

I think Parasitic Implantation would be more horrific (better) if you could implant in any living creature, regardless of its physical sex or presence of a womb. Not having a womb sure didn't protect Kane or the Colonial Marines.

Also, a Numeria-themed Wayfinder is an eventual certainty (maybe issue #13 or #14), so you might keep that in mind if you can pare it down to a 1500-word submission. This would be perfect when the Iron Gods AP kicks off.

And now I wonder what a synthesist summoner version of your alienist would look like.

I'd provide a saving throw against having an Alien burst out of your torso, however.

So, if you make your save, it stays stuck in your chest?! :)
