NEW TEMPLATE: Genetic Deviant
In the sense of the greater story, noteworthy individuals are often born, not made. Whether it be born with arcane intuition, divine favor, the influence of the titan, or perhaps just an unprecedented amount of luck. While this is not always true, those who are sung of by minstrels or whispered by tavern keepers were often born with a spark of greatness. And while options such as Divine Sainthood, Leylines, or the (un)luckiness to be picked up by He-Who-Was-Tharizdun may seem tempting, not all legends are made in such natural forges.
Some, as it turns out, are engineered for perfection.
Science is, in and of itself, a type of magic. A thread of the ancient narratives of Mutation and The Maker. It has become magic that can be explained, unfurled out to the layman and replicated ad infinitum to achieve the desired effects. One such effect was creating idyllic soldiers, beastly men and women designed to be the absolute best in the fields they were designed for. And through constant failures, deaths on a massive count, that formulae has neared perfection. In the stories of war, they are living weapons, reconstructed at the basest level to be, in a word, Amazing.
“Genetic Deviant” is an acquired template that can be added to any living corporeal Aberration, Fey, Giant, Humanoid, Magical Beast, or Monstrous Humanoid with a soul, an Intelligence of 3 or higher, and that is native to the Prime Material Plane.
Special Qualities:
A Genetic Deviant has all the special qualities of the base creature and gains the following special qualities.
Uncanny DNA: A Genetic Deviant is, at its basest level, a prolific and dangerous individual even among a dangerous world. They gain a single Exceptional Mythos from those available to a Mythic Genetic Deviant (see below), even if they are in no other way an inheritor of mythic power. Your class level for that Mythos is equal to your character level.
Battleborn: A Genetic Deviant was molded, crafted, broken and reforged to be an ultimate weapon of war. All class levels count as fighter levels and full initiator levels for purposes of feat prerequisites. For example, an 18th level Genetic Deviant Wizard (as rare as that may be), could pick up the Weapon Supremacy feat or a 9th level maneuver with Martial Study, assuming they met any other prerequisites.
Darkvision: Genetic Deviants gain Darkvision 60 feet.
Abilities
Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +2, Dex +2, Con +2, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +2
Level Adjustment:
+1
Sidebar: Mythos On Multiple Lists
Because supplementary Mythos are drawn from the power of a mythic patron, despite not being fully part of them, there may be some overlap between the two lists. For example, Mythic Omphalions can tap into the Element-Forged Geomach Arsenal Mythos even if they are not a Kathodos, who draws their power directly from the Omphalos' narrative.
In the case that a character has access to a single Mythos on two lists, acquiring the Mythos once effectively acquires it for both lists (such as for prerequisites' sake). In the case that a Mythos is slightly different mechanically on each list, but has the same name, identifying it as the same Mythos, the character must choose which version they prefer when they gain access to the second list, and their choice cannot be changed afterward.
On a different but related note, when a character acquires a Mythos by some means other than taking levels in the class that draws directly upon that Mythos' progenitor (such as the Teramach and the Monster's Mythos), usually by a Mythic supplement, or the Broken [Mythic Patron] Amalgam feat, they are considered to have whatever class features, or portions of class features, from that class that are the bare minimum to use those Mythos.
For the Teramach, this is the entire Monstrous Rage class feature.
For the Kathodos, this is the 1st through 5th paragraphs of the Flow of Energy class feature.
For the Olethrofex, this is the entire Death's Torn Tapestry class feature.
For the Anakitos, this is the entire The Fetters Of Virtue class feature.
For the Dinyomi, this refers to the first through eighth paragraphs of Imperfect Hollow Selfdom class feature, save they do not get the armor class bonus
NEW FEAT: Awakening Latent Weaponization
Prerequisites: Genetic Deviant, One Mythos
Benefits: A body and mind remade and restructured to be the ultimate living weapon naturally begs and pleads out to be used as a tool of war. This is you answering such a call.
Choose one Mythos-granting class that you have levels in. You may treat the following Mythos as if they belonged to that class.
You can take an additional five foot step each round.
EXCEPTIONAL MYTHOS
Augmented Bone-Bolstering Empowerment
Prerequisites:A Skeletal System
Over the next 24 hours, your bones become (very slowly and painfully) coated in an ultra-dense, high compact metal of impeccable craftsmanship. This hardens every bit of your body granting you the Natural Heavyweight and Improved Unarmed Strike feats, as well as the ability to make unarmed strikes with any part of your body, in the same way as a monk. Your bones and bone based natural attacks also have a hardness of ((Your Level + Your Strength Modifier) x2), should it ever come up.
Your body also develops into a more specialized, more efficient killing machine, as denoted in its basic manifestations. Because of the time it takes your body to fully adjust to these changes, you cannot purchase a second basic manifestation before level 7, and you cannot purchase a third before level 13. The natural attacks from these different forms do not stack, only the first.
Basic
Howling Berserker Augments: Your metal bones mutate to be able to emerge from between your fingers, dealing a single point of damage the first time they are released, but giving you two retractable claws as primary natural attack, which deal 1d6 slashing damage for a medium sized Genetic Deviant, or 1d4 for a small sized one. If you already had natural claw attacks, you may use the higher damage of these claws and those.
You also gain a +2 Bonus to Strength, and a +5 racial bonus on saves against Poison, Disease, and Environmental effects (such as extreme heat or cold). Your claws also grant you a climb speed equal to your land speed while they are loose. Finally, you gain Steadfast Determination as a bonus feat.
Precision Assassin Augments: Your metal bones mutate to be able to emerge from your fingers and your feet, dealing a single point of damage the first time they are released, but giving you two retractable claw attacks in your hands and two in your feet as secondary natural attacks, which deal 1d4 slashing damage for a medium sized Genetic Deviant, or 1d3 for a small sized one. These do not stack with existing claw attacks.
You also gain a +2 Bonus to Dexterity, and a +5 racial bonus to saves against Poison, Disease, and Environmental effects (such as extreme heat or cold). You also gain Weapons Finesse as a Bonus Feat, and the ability to use your dexterity modifier in place of your strength modifier for determining your bonus damage from melee attacks.
Rampaging Wildheart Augments: Your metal bones mutate to augment your teeth and jaw line, granting you a bite attack as a primary natural attack, which deals 1d8 points of piercing damage for a medium sized Genetic Deviant, or 1d6 for a small sized one. If you already have a bite natural attack, you may use the higher damage of either bite attack you possess.
You also gain a +2 Bonus to Constitution, and a +5 Racial bonus to saves against Poison, Disease, and Environmental effects (Such as extreme heat or cold). You also gain Power Attack as a bonus feat, and the Powerful Build Racial Feature.
Bio-Organic Stamina Overdrive
Prerequisites: -
The body of the Genetic Devint is a tool of war and combat on any scale. It would not do them well to tire and fall when they most require strength.
Your Constitution increases by 2.
You gain Endurance, Heat Endurance, and Cold Endurance as Bonus Feats.
You can survive twice as long as a normal member of your race without food, water, or sleep, and hold your breath for twice as long. Your lift and carry is calculated as though you were one size larger than you are. Lastly, you can add your strength modifier to your Balance, Climb, Jump, Swim, and Tumble checks.
Retribution Will Follow
Prerequisite: -
In creating the ultimate weapon, certain corners had to be cut. Self control and self restraint are two such corners. In there place they poured hatred and animalistic instincts to kill and maim and hurt. But does a sword trouble itself with how hard it is swung? An arrow with who it pierces? No. They only turn upon those they wish to harm.
When you suffer damage, you fly into a Rage for 5 rounds, gaining a +4 bonus to Strength and Dexterity for the duration. However, if a living enemy incited your Rage, it gets first priority over all other enemies, and you must attack them in preference to anything else if it is reasonable possible for you to do so (i.e. if your priority target has damage reduction that is nearly impossible for you to overcome, you may choose a different target to pursue - work with your DM and use your best judgment). If you have multiple 'first priorities' from having been struck multiple times, you may freely choose among them.
Taking damage again while in this Rage does not create a new Rage effect, or stack additional bonuses. However, it does reset the duration back to 5 rounds, and (as stated above) add new priority targets.
Advanced
Hate Feeds The Meat: The Rage induced by this Mythos also applies a +4 bonus to Constitution. However, unlike normal Constitution gain, the hit points provided are Temporary Hit Points that stack with any other source of Temporary Hit Points, rather than real ones.
Provoking The Hellborn: The Rage induced by this Mythos also applies Resistance 2 to Fire, Cold, Electricity, Acid, and Sonic damage. This increases to 5 at 7th level, 10 at 12th level, and 15 at 17th level.
Resistance Is Futile: The Rage induced by this Mythos also applies damage reduction x/- for the duration. X equals 2 at 1st level, 4 at 4th level, 6 at 8th level, 8 at 12th level, 10 at 16th level, and 12 at 20th level.
Wounded-Appurtenance Incitement: The Monster doesn't care for others, but a threat to itself is unforgivable. Of course, the Monster is not so simple a creature as any mortal, whose identity extends no farther than their own skin casing.
The Rage induced by this Mythos will now activate whenever someone with whom you have a powerful bond with is harmed, or is threatened with harm, and you perceive it, in additional to the normal circumstances under which it may activate. A "powerful bond" can be a familiar, animal companion, special mount, a cohort gained from a Leadership or Wild Cohort feat, or any ally that is a child or grandchild. An Undead creature can never have this bond, even if they would otherwise qualify. Other bonds can be considered strong enough, at the discretion of the group.
Double the bonuses granted by this Mythos for the duration of any encounter in which a character that you had a powerful bond with dies.
Unbreakable Internal Restructuring

At 10th level, this bonus increases to +2, and they also bypass any damage reduction that may be bypassed by a special material (silver, cold iron, adamantine, etc). At 13th level, this bonus increases to +3, and they also bypass any damage reduction that may be bypassed by a particular alignment. At 15th level, this bonus increases to +4. At 17th level, this bonus increases to +5.
Advanced
Infiltration Specializing Tact (Requires “Precision Assassin Augment”): You gain a +2 Bonus to Dexterity and Constitution, and a +5 Racial bonus to saves against Poison, Disease, and Environmental effects (Such as extreme heat or cold).
When attacking a creature that is denied its dexterity bonus to armor class, you deal bonus precision damage with your bone based natural weapons equal to 1d6 per 4 class levels you have. This counts as Sneak Attack for purposes of Prerequisites.
You can make Hide and Move Silent checks at no Penalty while moving your full speed.
Limitation Shattering Wrath (Requires “Howling Berserker Augment”): You gain a +2 Bonus to Strength and Dexterity, and a +5 Racial bonus to saves against Poison, Disease, and Environmental effects (Such as extreme heat or cold).

You can make a full attack at the end of a charge.

Even Removed limbs, melted eyes, or obliterated organs will regrow through your fast healing, with enough time, so long as you are alive.
As an added, bonus effect, your aging process slows dramatically. Multiply your expected lifespan by 20, including when you will become middle aged and venerable.
Advanced
Muscling Through Massacres: You gain Toughness and Improved Toughness as Bonus Feats and the Mettle class feature.
