Major Granted Abilities

After using this ability, it becomes expended for 5 rounds. You must show Gulguthriana’s sign in order to use this granted ability.
Capstone Empowerment: When you use Gulguthriana’s greedy grasp, your reach is increased by 10 feet instead of 5 feet.

Gargantuan Gulguthriana: You gain Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat and your unarmed strikes deal unarmed damage as a monk equal to ½ your binder level. This benefit stacks with any monk levels you possess, up to your character level.
Gulguthriana’s Grapple: You do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attempt to grapple an opponent and you do not suffer the -10 penalty to your CMB while trying to grapple an opponent without gaining the grappled condition yourself.
