Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier


Graft Pool: This is the total number of Graft points the Mutias gains, these stack with Graft points from all other Sources.

Graft Companion: At first level, the Mutias gains a graft companion. This companion gains abilities and improves along side the Mutias. The Mutias gains a Liquid Soul (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12892743#post12892743) as their companion. If the liquid soul is destroyed, the Mutias can attempt to grow another one. Growing a liquid Soul requires 2 weeks, and it must constantly be fed rusted metal.

Soul Consumption: At second level, the Mutias starts to hunger for strength. They get this strength by draining others. When a Mutias grapples another creature, it can automatically drain 1d4 hp. For each hit point it gains, its companion gains 1lb.

Spirit Lock: When a Mutias reaches third level, they become more attune to the power of others. If they make a natural attack(With their graft or with an unarmed strike or any natural attacks they might have) against a foe that can cast spells, the spell caster must make a fortitude save(DC= 12+Wis) or lose the ability to cast their highest level spells for 1d6 rounds.

Shaping: A liquid Soul Already has the Formation ability, but when a Mutias reaches fourth level, they can manipulate their companion as if it's really their arm. In addition, they can use their Liquid Soul to cover them, like Armor. When in this form, it counts as light armor, and grants a +3 armor bonus instead of the normal bonus they grant to AC. Otherwise, they can now change its shape into several forms, these forms include, but are not limited to:
Blade: As in the above picture, the arm forms a blade. This blade is treated as a natural weapon, which the Mutias is proficient with. It has the same stats as a Shortsword, and can be used to make an additional attack, at no penalty.
Grapple: The arm stretches out a long distance, like a rope, and at the end forms a grapple. This can be used to climb, or latch onto objects from a distance. The maximum length is 10ft./lb of graft.

Mimic Soul Aspect: Perhaps one of the strongest abilities of the Mutias is to mimic the power of other's souls. At fifth level, the Mutias can mimic one supernatural ability of a monster they have fought. The monster mimicked must have less than 5+Wis HD. They cannot change this ability until they have gained another level in Mutias. This ability costs 5 graft points to maintain.

Harsh Aura: By sixth level, the Mutias has become so confident that their Soul sends chills down their enemies' spines. They gain the Aura of Menace ability which works just like a Hound Archon. Except the save is 10+Wis.

One Again: At the pinnacle of Mutias achievement is the ability to become one with their graft. By spending a Full-round action, the Liquid Soul covers its master completely. This changes the granted AC bonus to +5 Natural Armor. In addition, the master gains a +2 Profane bonus to Strength, and Dexterity, fire resistance 10 , they can no longer be flanked, and they have immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, critical hits and stunning. The Mutias can only remain in this form for 3+Wis rounds. In addition, the Mutias gains all the abilities of the Liquid Soul.
