Class Features
Text
- Nature Casting: The Ophidian Stalker increases all Nature casting features as if the character had gained a level in the appropriate class at each indicated level.
- Fusillades: The Ophidian Stalker increases all martial fusillade features as if the character had gained a level in the appropriate class at each indicated level.
- Molt (Ex): The Ophidian Stalker now changes into a Huge Viper instead of a Large Viper when assuming the form of their Totem Animal, except that it's physical stats are higher when the Ophidian Stalker gains additional levels. At 2nd level the form's Strength and Constitution increase by 2. At 3rd level the form's Strength and Dexterity increase by 2, for total ability scores of 20 Str, 17 Dex and 15 Str.
- Ah, It's a Snake! (Ex): If the Ophidian Stalker attacks a living creature in the same round as the Stalker assumes their alternate form, the creature must make a saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Str) or become shaken for 5 rounds. In addition, they receive -2 penalty on grapple checks against the Ophidian Stalker until they are no longer shaken.
- Sneaky Snek (Ex): While in their alternate form, the Ophidian Stalker is treated as one size smaller for Stealth checks. They also gain the Scent special quality if they don't already have it.
- Totem Feat (Ex): The Ophidian Stalker gains a single Totem Feat. He must still meet the prerequisites of the feat chosen.
- Shed Skin (Ex): Changing forms has become natural to the Ophidian Stalker. Refreshing themselves in this way allows them to leave some of their burdens behind when doing so. The Ophidian Stalker may end their alternate form voluntarily as a standard action to remove the fatigued, sickened and poisoned conditions. They also get Fast Healing 3 (which is reduced by 1 per condition removed) for a number of rounds equal to their total number of Totem feats. The Ophidian Stalker is then unable to assume their alternate form for 1 hour.
- Grab a Bite (Ex): Even when they have bitten off more than they can chew, the Ophidian Stalker is relentless in their assault. At 3rd level they gain the Improved Grab and Constrict abilities of a Giant Constrictor snake while in their alternate form, as their form becomes one step closer to that of a Dire Snake.
