Special Abilities and Feats
Morphing(ex): Morphing is a move action that temporarily grants the morpher amazing natural attacks. A bodyshaper can have not have multiple morphs on a single body part. A bodyshaper cannot morph a body part covered by armor (unless the armor is enchanted to stretch and bend with the morpher) but can morph while wearing clothes. activating two morphs in a round is a full round action. At first the bodyshaper only has access to three morphs: Bone Spear, Beastly Maw, and Devastating Fist:

Show

Bone Spear(ex):[Arm(s), leg, or chest] Bone spear is the easiest morph to use and sustain, creating a solid piercing spear of bone from an arm, leg, or ribs. Bone spear is a natural weapon with the following stats [1d6,Crit x3,piercing]
if morphed from an arm or leg it is a reach weapon but cannot attack adjacent foes, if morphed from the chest it is not a reach weapon. can be sustained for 1 round+1/2 morphing horror level.

Beastly Maw(ex):[two arms, or stomach] Beastly maw is a powerful morph that transforms the bodyshaper's arms into something akin to a huge serpentine head with fangs (the shape of the head could be any dangerous beast depending on preference) or changes their stomach into a gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. If the bodyshaper morphs their arms into a beastly maw they temporarily lose any attacks with their arms and gain [Bite 1d8,Crit x2] If the stomach is morphed you can, while grappling, use the beastly maw to attack in addition to your normal grapple damage. It can be sustained for 1 round+1/2 morphing horror level(max 5 rounds).

Devastating Fist(ex):[one arm] This morph turns the bodyshaper's fist into a destructive force to be reckoned with, knocking foes away with ease. On a successful hit the enemy must make an opposed strength check with a -4 penalty or be bull rushed. Devastating fist is as follows [Slam 1d10,Crit x2,Bludgeoning]. It lasts only 1 round.

Tough Hide(ex): bodyshapers have a natural armor bonus equal to their class level.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
At 2nd level, a bodyshaper retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a bodyshaper already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

Multiattack : At 4th level the Bodyshaper gains the feat multiattack. Benefit: secondary attacks with natural weapons take only a -2 penalty.

Quick Change(ex): at 5th level morphing once in a round becomes a swift action, twice a standard, and three times a full round.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
At 6th level and higher, a bodyshaper can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the morpher by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has morpher levels.

Lightning Fast Change(ex): At 10th level morphing once in a round is a free action, twice a swift, three times a move, and four a full round.

Improved Morph(ex): At 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th level a bodyshaper becomes adept at manipulating their body in new or better ways, and may gain an improved version of an existing morph or gain another one. See Improved Morph List.

Additional Biomass (ex): At 12th level the bodyshaper gains increased biomass, allowing him to manifest two more arms for the purpose of morphing. This could be used, for example, to manifest two beastly maws instead of one.

Greater Morph(ex):At 15th, 17th, and 19th level a bodyshaper becomes a master at manipulating their body in new and amazing ways, and may gain a greater version of an existing morph or gain another one. See Greater Morph List.
