Combat: Nisse begin every fight casting Greater Invisibility on themselves if it's available, delivering powerful slams from the safety of its invisibility. If it has a chance, it will use its Curse Spitter ability to deliver a debilitating curse onto the target of its ire before getting into melee. If it cannot use Greater Invisibility, it will use hit-and-run tactics, striking with its slams one round before using its at-will Invisibility next round to flee to plot its next angle of attack.

Morale: Despite their violent tendencies, Nisse tend to leave their victims alive but unconscious, but make no efforts to save or stabilize them. They abandon any fight in which they're reduced to 10 or less HP, turning invisible and retreating into some small crevice their opponents cannot pursue them into. Once they flee in this way, they tend to fully abandon any domicile they inhabited. If a creature manages to damage them while they flee, the Nisse flies into an indignant fury at the grave insult and turns to fight to the death.

------ Special Abilities ------

Curse Spitter (Sp): Once per day when a Tomtenisse uses its Bestow Curse spell-like ability, it may choose to verbally swear and gesticulate wildly while doing so, effectively adding both verbal and somatic components to the casting. If it does, the spell's range becomes 60ft instead of touch.

Kooks are not natural creatures, but creations of a powerful and bizarre fey entity which they collectively refer to as the Gummy Tree, which sits perfectly in the center of a miles-wide stretch of rolling hills, beautiful woods, and babbling brooks known as the Sweet Summer Days, a wonderland realm that Kooks can enter and exit at will.

The massive, twisting fey aberration at the center towers over a hundred feet into the air, its branches lacking leaves but instead growing thin, ropy extrusions equal parts cotton candy and true cotton, the Kooks making liberal use of it as both food and crafting material. Massive flowers along the branches and colorful knots among the roots surround pods of pastries, cakes, and other desserts which slowly but persistently regrow their supplies, while fruits, candies, and fruit-shaped candies grow liberally from the branches, falling like rain throughout the day to the waiting populace below. Fresh water is always available from the brooks and ponds, but taps installed along the Gummy Tree run freely with a sweet, sticky, fizzy drink that makes Kooks burp amusingly and always tastes different from the last cup.

The trunk of the Gummy Tree is decorated with and surrounded by artwork all made by the Kooks, which provides them with the candybark and candywood they need to make whatever toys they desire and whatever homes they see fit for themselves, should they not be happy frolicking through the Sweet Summer Days and require some alone time. Should one somehow draw close enough to the Gummy Tree to brush aside the artwork and the outer layer of candybark, they would see that the whorls on the startlingly gory inner wood form ghoulish, grinning faces much like those of the Kooks themselves, faces which are very much alive and very much animate, and which violently dislike being seen by anything but its children.

The Gummy Tree is a being with ambitions of becoming a being equivalent in power to an Eldest, but its childish mind gives it a very twisted understanding of what it means to be an Eldest. It believes that an 'Eldest' must be old, and to be old you must "have a lot of years behind you." Thus, it sends its Kooks out to gather years, stealing them from mortal children that have years to spare, which serves the dual purpose of making more Kooks. Every time a mortal child is transformed into a Kook, all the years that they would have lived are drawn into the Gummy Tree, slowly but surely allowing it to amass the years it believes it requires to reach the ranks of the Eldest Fey.

The Gummy Tree itself has a limited understanding of how anything works, requiring the assistance of its own Big Kids for guidance, and as such most of the Archfey and the Eldest consider it an amusing curiosity rather than any form of threat or even a nuisance, as it and its Kooks generally keep to themselves... but its resolute belief in its mission and the unwavering, childish faith its Kooks have that it will succeed may yet grant it some form of power once it manages to somehow gather the millions of years it requires to consider itself an Eldest. It has a long, long while to go, but it's got all the Sweet Summer Days it needs, and plenty of Kooks to frolic among its branches besides to help pass the time.

This manifests as a simple, friendly pat, and causes the child to take 1 point of Charisma damage, which does not heal naturally unless the child has not had physical contact with a Kook for 7 continuous days. A child can only have their essence drained once per week even if there are multiple Kook's present, but a playdate of Kooks playing with the same child raises the damage to 1d4. Once a child has taken an amount of Charisma damage equal to their Charisma score, they are permanently and irreversibly transformed into a Kook and retain only scattered memories of their previous life.

Gummy Ball (Su): Kooks can summon or dismiss a translucent, rubbery ball at will as a move action. In addition to being fun toys they may alter to their whims with Prestidigitation, they may use the balls as unusual ranged weapons. Whether they hit or miss their target, the ball always bounces or rolls back to the Kook which threw it at the end of the Kooks' turn, as though it had the Returning property. As a free action upon hitting a creature, the Kook may cause the ball to melt into a semi-liquid state which quickly flows over the victim's face, gluing itself in place with a sugary stickiness that's difficult to break. It may order the ball to return to its toy form and then to its hand as a swift or move action on its turn.

A victim gummed up in this way cannot speak, see, or breathe. A nearby creature can help a gummed up creature, or it may attempt to free itself, by succeeding a DC 14 Strength check to tear the ball away as a full-round action, at which point it returns to its spherical shape and rolls back to the Kook. The gummed creature or a nearby ally can also attack the ball with a weapon or spell (AC 9, 5 HP; DR 5/slashing, vulnerable to acid and cold damage) to destroy it. If a Gummy Ball is destroyed, the Kook cannot summon another until it returns to the Gummy Tree to receive a new one, which typically takes 1 day.

Radiant Haze (Sp/Su): A Kook can use Charm Person as a spell-like ability at will (DC 15), but it can only target a given creature once per day. If the target creature is a child, the charm effect lasts 24 hours and can affect the target regardless of its creature type--Kooks prize the chance to get ahold of Native Outsiders, as they offer more potential years to their tree!

Children charmed by this ability see all Kooks as perfect, angelic, trustworthy children around their age. Any creature considered a teenager or older sees all Kooks as average, mundane children, and the Kooks must rely on their skills to maintain the illusion. If they perform any overtly supernatural or inhuman act, such as using a spell-like ability or climbing up a sheer surface, a non-child creature witnessing the act may make another saving throw against the charm. If a Kook performs a violent act in front of a charmed creature of any age, that creature may make a saving throw against the charm. A Kook which damages a creature automatically ends the charm on that creature. If the charm ends for a creature, they see the Kooks for what they truly are and are immune to Radiant Haze for 1 week.

Sugar Rush (Su): Kooks can survive off sugary foods of any sort without any problems. The high-energy foods they eat also give them the power to, once per day, enter a dramatically enraged state as a move action on their turn. In this state, they receive a +4 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls, their bite damage dice raises to 1d6, and their movement speeds double. They may remain in this state for a number of rounds equal to their hit dice, and become exhausted once it ends. Kooks typically never enter this state unless their true nature is discovered by more than one person, or the Gummy Tree is approached by an adult.

------

THE BIG KIDS

A designation given to around a dozen of the older Kooks in the conclave, the Big Kids are the de-facto leaders of the Kooks as a whole and advisors to the Gummy Tree, whom they see as both their creator and a treasured sibling... even if it's a little goofy sometimes. Their home base is a massive treehouse in the boughs of the Gummy Tree, fittingly called the Klubhouse, which other Kooks are rarely allowed to enter.

The Big Kids are generally content to follow their creators' loose orders, and are usually in charge of organizing which Kook goes where in the network of fey portals along the Sweet Summer Days to bring back new friends. If an intelligent plan or unusual scheme occurs among the Kooks, one can be assured it was a Big Kid who thought it up, even if their plans and schemes usually amount to getting ahold of a new book or toy or tool to amuse themselves and their friends with, or unusual crafting material for some project they have. On rare occasions the plans and schemes result in a magical item falling into the Kooks' hands, though what's done with it can be anything from benign (a Wand of Lightning Bolt used to sky-write at night) to the deadly (the same wand used to eliminate witnesses who saw through the Kooks' disguise or destroy a town in which a Kook was slain).

------

Combat: A Langolier in combat is unpredictable, quite literally due to its Unpredictable ability rendering it impossible to tell what it's going to do from one turn to the next. The most dangerous aspect of a Langolier is that any contact with it triggers its Annihilation ability, potentially dealing 40d6 Force damage to anything and everything touching it, allowing it to trick enemies into destroying themselves or their weapons by simply moving through their spaces or moving around them and drawing Attacks of Opportunity. Foes using cover find that it will not last long, as the aeon can destroy almost any form of cover just by moving into it. Against especially distant or protected foes, Langoliers use their various means of teleportation to get in close to annihilate them. They use their Disintegrate spell-like ability to dispatch swift enemies only when rolling a 15 or above on their Unpredictable.

Morale: Langoliers have no understanding of death, and thus will not stop fighting until destroyed or until they trigger a poor result on their Unpredictable ability (three 1s in the same minute). The rare exception to this is if a Langolier starts its turn below 50 HP and rolls a 15 or above with Unpredictable, which allows it to realize it is in danger, and thus it will use its teleportation or Plane Shift to flee. They typically become placid in the time it takes them to heal up to a comfortable amount, which means a Langolier that flees is no longer a threat for the remainder of the campaign... unless directly sought out by the party or antagonized by an outside force.

------

Special Abilities

------

Annihilation (Ex): Any creature, unattended object, or piece of terrain that touches or is touched by a Langolier takes 40d6 Force damage unless it succeeds a DC 27 Reflex save, which reduces the damage to 5d6 Force. This includes anything it moves through or touches directly with its attack, as well as any creatures striking it with an unarmed attack, natural weapon, or touch attack, or attempting a combat maneuver against it. Any magic weapon striking a Langolier takes 5d6 points of Force damage automatically unless its wielder succeeds the same Reflex save; nonmagical weapons are destroyed instantly without dealing damage to the aeon. A given target can only be affected by Annihilation once per round, even of the Langolier moves into its space multiple times or gains an extra attack. Annihilation ignores both Hardness and Damage Reduction. Anything reduced to 0 HP by Annihilation is drawn into the Langolier and utterly destroyed, leaving behind no trace. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Incarnate Void (Ex): A Langolier's existence as a living void grants them numerous benefits. Firstly, they are immune to all forms of damage from nonmagical sources, as such things are simply destroyed on contact with the aeon's body (see Annihilation, above). Secondly, they are immune to Force damage, positive and negative energy, and any effect which would destroy their bodies, such as the Disintegration and Destruction spells, or contact with a Sphere of Annihilation (the Sphere and the aeon pass through one another harmlessly). Lastly, the deflection bonus from the aeon subtype's Void Form ability is doubled (to +10).

Superluminal (Su): A Langolier's flight is a supernatural ability, but it cannot be suppressed by an Antimagic Field or similar. It remains hovering in place even if paralyzed, put to sleep, or otherwise rendered helpless. In addition, a Langolier can survive easily in the void of space, and can reach incomprehensible speeds when flying through the vacuum. Although exact travel times vary, a trip within a single solar system normally takes 1d8 days, while a trip beyond normally takes 1d8 months (or more, at the GM’s discretion), though if the Langolier knows where it wishes to go, it will often simply teleport there and use this speed to make up for teleportation errors.

Talisman of the Sphere (Ex): Any creature wearing a Talisman of the Sphere gains several benefits against a Langolier. Langoliers treat creatures wearing a Talisman as if they had total concealment (ignoring that blindsight normally negates concealment). A creature wearing a Talisman takes only 5d6 from Annihilation, no damage if they succeed their Reflex saving throw, and never damages their weapon when attacking the aeon. A creature wearing a Talisman ignores the Langolier's Damage Reduction and Spell Resistance.

------ Ecology ------

Environment any Organization solitary, kitchen (2~6), or bonded (self plus caster) Treasure standard (cooking utensils and valuable ingredients)

------

Combat: Macibus engage in combat with the relish one can expect from a demon, chopping foes left and right with its handaxe. While they are loathe to waste ingredients, they can use their Internal Cache to spray a troublesome foe down with a cloud of fiendish flour or oil to make them easier to strike. They use their Throw Anything feat in tandem with any alchemical creations they've made in their off-hours (or any they've been given by allies) to soften foes from afar before closing in, vastly preferring melee despite their proficiency at a distance. If they feel like they can take a moment to do so, they may pause their assault to take a bite out of a nearby corpse to test its viability as an ingredient.

Morale: A Macibus' bravery and enjoyment of combat relies on two things: numbers advantage, and/or surprise attack. If its allies do not outnumber or severely overpower its target or its element of surprise doesn't have the impact it desired, the fiend will typically try to disengage, if only to try again later (or against easier prey). If prevented from fleeing, a Macibus will offer its talents to its aggressors to hopefully be spared long enough to come up with an escape plan, but will immediately attack and fight to the death if it looks like it might be rejected.

------ Special Abilities ------

Cleaver (Ex): Macibus' are proficient with all weapons in the Axe group, but prefer one-handed axes.

Creative Butchery (Su): Once per day, a Macibus can perform an incredible act of culinary creation. It requires the fresh (dead less than 24 hours) corpse of a Medium creature (or the corpses of two Small creatures, or portions of a corpse from a Large or larger creature, etc) to do this, and it takes 1 hour to do. At the conclusion of this hour, it creates a meal--typically a stew or roast, though more unusual bodies yield unusual meals--for a single creature that grants the eater a +4 profane bonus to a single ability score of their choice for 1 hour. A Macibus serving as a familiar may use this ability one additional time each day if its master has 10 or more Hit Dice.

Fiendish Chef (Ex): Macibus gain a profane bonus to Profession (Cook) checks equal to their Hit Dice plus their Constitution modifier. if they're serving as a familiar, this bonus is increased by an amount equal to their master's Hit Dice.

Construction: A Lugling begins its existence in a similar vein to a Bag of Holding, with a "core" made out of high-quality leather inside of which a pocket space is formed by inscribing the interior with complex magical runes using rare and expensive inks worth 2,000gp. The animalistic features are added onto and further "grown around" the core over time. A Lugling's Command Crystal is a separate creation and takes 2,500gp to create or replace.

------ Ecology ------

Environment any Organization feral, leashed (self plus owner) Treasure double (owner's various belongings)

------

Combat: Luglings never join in combat unless ordered to by their owner. Feral Luglings have varying attitudes towards combat, but all of them approach it in similar and simple ways, using their Spring Attack feat to take advantage of their higher-than-average speed and perform painful hit-and-runs. Mutations add more variance to their tactics, but that's beyond the scope of this particular paragraph.

Morale: Leashed Luglings fight until instructed not to by their owners. Feral Luglings tend to fight only in self-defense and will flee conflicts where they drop below 15 HP. If prevented from fleeing, they fight to the death.

------ Special Abilities ------

Animalistic (Ex): Though Luglings are Constructs, their creation process imbues them with some traits of living beings. They are treated as both Constructs and Magical Beasts for the purposes of spells and effects. Their semi-living forms also grant them Regeneration, preventing them from being destroyed once they reach 0 HP unless their Regeneration is suppressed.

Command Crystal (Su): Each Lugling is paired to a Command Crystal that allows its holder to give mental commands to the Construct as a free action. Luglings cannot refuse commands from their crystal holder, even self-destructive ones, and their attitude towards the crystal holder is always "helpful." Luglings innately know the distance and direction of their crystal and the shortest, safest route they must take to reach it, provided it and the crystal are within 100 miles of each other. If the crystal is ever destroyed or taken further than 100 miles from the Lugling, the Lugling becomes free-willed until a new one can be constructed for 2500gp and 2 days of work. If an inert Command Crystal is touched to a helpless or willing Lugling, the two become paired.

Dexterous Tongue (Ex): A Lugling's lengthy tongue can perform fine manipulation when needed. It gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat, and can add its Dexterity modifier to damage rolls made with its tongue. Luglings can retrieve any item stored in their Extradimensional Belly (see below) with their tongue and give it to an adjacent creature all as a single move action.

Extradimensional Belly (Su): A Lugling's body contains an internal pocket dimension that acts in almost every respect as a Bag of Holding; it can store 100 pounds of matter per Hit Dice it possesses (800 pounds for a typical one), and it can store away any item that fits in its cavernous mouth (typically meaning an item no more than 2ft on a side). Any creature adjacent to a helpless or willing Lugling can retrieve items stored in its belly as if they were searching through a Bag of Holding (a full-round action). The interior of a Lugling is perfectly dry and a consistent 70 degrees, and possesses a consistent supply of breathable air due to the Construct's dog-like panting drawing in air from around it. If a Lugling is destroyed, its internal space collapses and all items within are jettisoned into random adjacent spaces.

Rift Sickness (Ex): Other items containing an extradimensional space, such as a Portable Hole or a Bag of Holding, do not react destructively with a Lugling. However, these items cannot open while inside the Lugling, and the Construct is permanently sickened and slowed (as the spell) while it contains such an item, typically seeking to spit it out as soon as possible.

------

Lugling Mutations

As a Lugling's bond with a permanent owner grows, it can gain a seemingly endless variety of magical mutations. The below list is just some modifications a Lugling may gain over time. Any abilities it gains and the rate at which they are gained are at the DMs discretion; typically, it gains 1 mutation for every 2 HD its master possesses over 10, though exposure to powerful space-warping magic or consumption of specific magic items may instill some mutations immediately.

Every three mutations they possess grants them an additional Hit Dice. Some mutations stack with themselves, and some are powerful enough that possessing them will definitely raise the Lugling's CR. You, the reader, are encouraged to make your own customizations as well.

Bottomless: Extradimensional Belly can hold a flat +1000 pounds of weight. In addition, the Lugling gains the Swallow Whole universal monster ability, though its stomach deals no damage to a creature swallowed (unless there is something particularly dangerous in there already, such as loose caltrops). A creature dealing 20 or more damage to a Lugling's stomach lining in a single round deals no damage to the Construct, but causes it to immediately regurgitate all creatures it has swallowed into adjacent spaces, alongside 1d10 random items from within. A Small-sized Lugling can hold up to two Medium creatures at once.

Bulky: Increase size category by 1. In addition to other effects caused by this increase (such as all of its damage dice increasing), this doubles the weight limit of Extradimensional Belly. This mutation stacks with itself, to a maximum of Large size. This mutation does not multiply the weight limit increase from Bottomless, it is instead added on after the multiplication (i.e. an 8 HD Lugling with both Bulky and Bottomless would thus have a weight limit of 2600).

Claws: Gain two claw attacks (1d4 for a Small Lugling). This mutation stacks, to a maximum of six claw attacks. Claws gained through this mutation are always secondary attacks.

Chilled Interior: The Extradimensional Belly becomes cool, though still comfortable. All items within are protected by a permanent Preserve spell. Corpses are affected by Gentle Repose.

Forceful Breath: Once every 1d6 rounds as a standard action, the Lugling can either inhale or exhale with tremendous force. This manifests as a Gust of Wind spell with a 30ft range and a saving throw of 10 + 1/2 the Lugling's HD + its Con modifier; inhaling causes the spell to blow directly towards it, while exhaling blows directly away. If the Lugling has the Chilled Interior mutation, the exhalation also deals 1d6 Cold damage to everything in the gust's path. If it has the Bottomless mutation, the inhalation allows it to swallow any loose items pulled directly into it as a free action.

Gripping Limbs: The Luglings' claws become more flexible. It gains a climb speed equal to half its walking speed. It can take this mutation an additional time, increasing its climb speed to equal its walking speed.

Incredible Dexterity: Gain Throw Anything and Grab and Go as bonus feats. It can immediately swallow items picked up with Grab and Go if it desires. The Lugling can retrieve and throw small objects from its belly with supernatural speed, allowing it to make iterative attacks.

Insulated: Gain 10 Fire and Cold Resistance. This mutation stacks with itself, to a maximum of 50, at which point the Resistance becomes Immunity.

Quickening: Gain +10ft of movement speed. This mutation stacks with itself to a maximum of +100ft.

Rough Hide: Gain +1 natural armor and increase DR/Magic by 1. This mutation stacks with itself, to a maximum of 5.

Whiptongue: +5ft of reach to the tongue attack. This mutation stacks with itself, to a maximum of 30ft. If this mutation occurs more than once, the tongue is considered to be a whip, and the Lugling gains proficiency with whips and Weapon Focus (Whip) as a bonus feat.

Class Features The following are class features of the mimeticist.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Mimeticists are proficient with all simple weapons. Mimeticists are also proficient with light armor. A mimeticist can cast mimeticist spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a mimeticist wearing medium or heavy armor, or using a shield, incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass mimeticist still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

Mimicry (Su): A mimeticist can transform their body to mimic animals and monsters. The mimeticist can use this ability as a standard action a number of times a day equal to 3 plus ½ her mimeticist level (minimum 3), and each time she uses mimicry, she can remain in that form for a number of minutes equal to her mimeticist level (minimum 1 minute), unless she reverts as a standard action. When she uses mimicry, her body changes, granting her access to eidolon evolutions. She may access evolutions with a point cost equal to that shown on the table above; unused evolution points are not saved or rolled over to a later use of mimicry. A mimeticist is assumed to be bipedal for the purposes of what evolutions she can access. A mimeticist can choose to use different evolutions different times she uses mimicry, but cannot change her evolutions during a use of mimicry without using the ability another time (or through spells like evolution surge). A mimeticist is limited in the number of natural weapons she can grant herself, as shown on the table above.

A mimeticist begins play with three evolutions known, and learns how to mimic additional evolutions as she levels, as shown on the table above. A mimeticist can learn evolutions that can be taken multiple times, but requires additional evolutions known to alter them from the choice initially picked. For example, a mimeticist taking the skilled evolution would have to pick a single skill to gain the bonus in when she learned the evolution, but could learn it a second time for a bonus to a second skill. A mimeticist must be of the listed level in mimeticist to select evolutions with a summoner level requirement (such as level 7th for webs or level 11th for fast healing). At 4th level, and every four levels thereafter, a mimeticist can choose to replace one of her evolutions known for another evolution of equal or lesser point cost.

Monster Lore (Ex): A mimeticist gains a bonus on all Knowledge checks to identify monsters and their abilities equal to ½ her class level (minimum +1). In addition, she may make any Knowledge check to identify monsters and their abilities untrained. This does not apply to other applications of the same Knowledge skill.

Spells: A mimeticist casts arcane spells drawn from the mimeticist spell list. A mimeticist must choose and prepare her spells ahead of time. To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the mimeticist must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a mimeticist’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the wizard's Intelligence modifier.

A mimeticist can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score

A mimeticist may know any number of spells. She must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying her spellbook. While studying, the mimeticist decides which spells to prepare.

Cantrips: Mimeticists can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on the table under "Spells per Day." These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.

Spellbooks: A mimeticist must study her spellbook each day to prepare his spells. She cannot prepare any spell not recorded in his spellbook, except for read magic, which all mimeticists can prepare from memory. A mimeticist can take the Spell Mastery feat as if she were a wizard.

A mimeticist begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level mimeticist spells plus three 1st-level spells of her choice. The mimeticist also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook. At each new mimeticist level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new mimeticist level) for her spellbook. At any time, a mimeticist can also add spells found in other spellbooks to her own.

Track (Ex): At 2nd level, a mimeticist adds half her level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Know Thy Enemy (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, when the mimeticist succeeds at a Knowledge check to identify a creature’s abilities and weaknesses, she can also use a standard action to grant herself a +2 insight bonus on all attack and weapon damage rolls made against that enemy. This bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to half her class level (minimum 2 rounds), or until the mimeticist uses this ability against a different creature. At 11th level, she also gains a +2 bonus to her AC against the creature when using this ability. At 19th level, the insight bonus increases to +3.

Warp-proof (Ex): At 4th level, a mimeticist gains a +4 bonus to saving throws against petrifaction and polymorph effects.

Mimetic Attacks (Su): Starting at 5th level, whenever a mimeticist uses her mimicry ability to simulate natural weapons, those natural weapons take on the properties of different types of weapons. At 5th level, her natural weapons created through mimicry are treated as being magic weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. At 9th level, they are treated as being cold iron and silver for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. At 13th level, they are treated as weapons with the alignment of the mimeticist for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. At 17th level, they are considered to be adamantine for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Unlock Flesh (Su): Starting at 6th level, whenever a mimeticist uses its mimicry ability, she grants herself a +2 enhancement bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity or Constitution), which lasts for the duration of her mimicry. She must choose what ability score to enhance at 6th level, and cannot change it. At 11th level and 16th level, she gains another +2 enhancement bonus to an ability score whenever she uses mimicry, which can be used to enhance the same ability score, or a different one of her choice.

Rapid Mimicry (Su): Starting at 7th level, a mimeticist can use mimicry, or revert to her original form, as a move action. Starting at 14th level, a mimeticist can use mimicry or revert to her original form as a swift action.

Multiattack (Ex): At 8h level, a mimeticist gains Multiattack as a bonus feat.

Rapid Assessment (Ex): Starting at 10th level, a mimeticist can use her know thy enemy ability as a move action. Starting at 19th level, she can do so as a swift action.

A Thousand Faces (Su): At 15th level, a mimeticist gains the ability to change her appearance at will, as if using the alter self spell, but only while in her normal form.

Enhance Natural Weapons (Ex): At 18th level, a mimeticist’s natural weapons granted from her mimicry ability all deal damage at one die higher, as if she had the Improved Natural Weapon feat for all of her natural weapons.

Transcend Flesh (Su): At 20th level, a mimeticist gains the shapeshifter subtype. She can use her mimicry ability and a thousand faces as immediate actions. She gains a 50% chance to ignore critical hits and sneak attacks, and if she succumbs to a hostile petrifaction or polymorph effect, she can resume her natural form and end the condition as a standard action on her turn.
