SPECIAL ABILITIES

Assimilated (Su)

This explorer was once neutral good, but his alignment shifted to neutral evil due to the perfected version of the assimilation strain.

Contagious (Su)

As an infectious carrier of the assimilation strain, the explorer continues to expose those he touches or wounds in combat.

Assimilation Strain: Disease—contact; save Fort DC 14; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Cha damage (cannot reduce below 1), if more than 2 Cha damage, target must make a DC 14 Will save or change alignment one step towards evil and gain the assimilated template; cure 2 consecutive saves.

Mindslave (Su)

The explorer’s mind is currently overtaken by a mindslave harness, which looks like a splotchy black tumor growing across the back of his neck. This makes him an unwilling but obedient thrall.
