Atrophy

Associated Study: Destruction.

Replacement Abilities: The following study abilities replace the mass destruction and killing wave abilities of the destruction archivist study.

Compounding Ruin (Ex)

At 8th level, you can take advantage of a creature’s weakened state. Creatures that are fatigued, exhausted, sickened, nauseated, blinded, or deafened take a -1 penalty to saving throws against your scripts. This penalty stacks for each of these conditions on the creature, up to -2.

Ailment Sending (Su)

At 14th level, you can transfer harmful effects to another creature within 30 feet as a standard action. If you are fatigued, exhausted, sickened, nauseated, blinded, or deafened, you immediately transfer all of those conditions onto the targeted creature. The creature can make a separate Fortitude save for each condition to prevent that condition from transferring (leaving you with that ailment). Only non-permanent ailments can be transferred, and the condition continues from its current duration.

Unlike most abilities, you can use ailment sending while you are nauseated (as your move action for that turn). You can use ailment sending once per day, plus an additional time per day for every three levels past 14th.
