Shapeless Master
Ozodrin tend to be reclusive, doing their best to hide their true nature from the rest of the world. For those with the power of a Swarmlord however, this is never an option. Driven with the power to collect weaker minds, the Shapeless Master combines the instability of the far realms with extreme mutability to build an army of versatile squid people.

Psionic Advancement
Every level the Shapeless Master is considered one level higher when calculating her number of power points, number of powers known, and maximum power level with the Swarmlord class.
Vacillating Form
A Shapless Master’s Form points are added to their Evolution points. You can call this new total shape points (or formvolution points if you like, or just evolution or form points since they all mean the same thing with this ability, and we really don't need any more kinds of "points"). Both features and evolutions can be bought from this new total. Features and evolutions can be used interchangeably, as if they were from the same list. For example, an a Shapeless Master can take evolutions as if they were features, and can apply features to itself and its Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmlings, all drawing from the same points total.
Unless they sacrifice 10 Evolution points, Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmlings do not obtain the ability to manifest form. Instead they are considered to always be in their manifested form.
Adaptations
Aberrant Swarm
Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmlings get aberration blood as a bonus feat and gain a bonus to their evolution points equal to the number of aberrant feats they have.
Rebirthing Chamber
For the purposes of the Infestation, Assimilate and Embrace the Swarm abilities, targets inside your stomach are automatically hit by the required touch attack. In addition, the dc for fortitude saves to resist the abilities is increased by 4 inside your stomach.
Living Earth
If you have a creep node, you may place features onto creep as if you had the corrupting land feat (See Ozodrin feats) and access to the shifting augment. These features cannot be moved once they are placed except by leaving the effects range as normal. Only features from the Ozodrin work with this ability, ignoring the effect of the Vacillating Form ability.
Aberrant Taint
Infested may remove two feats they possess to add a single aberrant feat. Assimilated need only remove feat to add an aberrant feat. The feat bestowed must be chosen at the time the adaptation is chosen. This adaptation can be taken multiple times, each time choosing a different aberrant feat.
Odd Movement
You gain access to the Strange Movement ability as an evolution for all Infested, Assimilated, Embraced, Swarmlings and yourself. For every four points the Swarmling gains 5 ft of strange movement
Many Mouths
Each Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmling can take the stomach feature once, for 8 evolution points. Taking this feature grants the devour ability. Creatures can take stomach augments if the Shapeless Master's Ozodrin level meets the requisite.
Gastronomical Networking
Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmlings given the stomach feature can choose whether to make a new pocket dimension or share a pocket dimension with one of the Shapeless Master’s stomachs
Ravenous Horde
You and each Infested, Assimilated, Embraced and Swarmling gain the Horrific Hunger optional ability as well as access to a reduced regenerative flesh feature, for 4 evolution points. For each pound of food consumed you gain 2 hit points, at a rate of 2 hit points per round. You gain none of the normal benefits of having a flesh feature. This Adaptation can be taken multiple times, each time adding 1 to the number of hit points gained per pound of food and number of hit points per round.
Ozodrin Advancement
On third level, and every other level after, the Shapeless Master is considered one level higher when determining which features and augments he has access to, as well as determining the DCs of Ozodrin abilities.
At the Very Sight
When the Shapeless Master uses her manifest form ability, all creatures within line of sight that become shaken as a result are subject to either infestation or assimilation, as available, as if they had just been hit by the required touch attack.
I haven't done a lot of homebrew before, so please tell me if there are any glaring flaws. Or little flaws, I like criticism.
