The Complete Graft Handbook
Or, How Not to Butcher Yourself

If you're insecure about your character


Then all the surgery you can afford is NOT the answer:

Commentary:

(click to show/hide)

Grafts are best in moderation. They help mundanes (who are basically handicapped in 3.5) to become more normal, higher tier characters. But they are only a band-aid. They don't make fighters into sorcerers and like anything else in 3.5, mundanes can't have nice things. This is the real reason why the rules for them are so messed up.

I will present the RAW, but will heavily encourage DMs not to obey the nonsensical limitations placed in between the two groups of grafts. Let the totemists have their natural attacks. Let the fighter have flight along with another type of graft. It won't really matter when the casters are polymorphing into hydras and bending demons to their will.

Also make it clear that if these sorts of common sense bending of the rules is not acceptable, then the DM should roll up a truenamer next campaign while someone equally stringent DMs. And of course, play a druid. But don't bother with grafts if you don't have a reasonable DM. Its just not worth it.

Credits to the BG community when I first considered a Crafting/Grafting Handbook. Major credits to Sinfire Titan for cleaning up some of my earlier old style grafts text before I got disheartened about the new graft style. Perhaps the same thing happened to Sinfire. But I'm back, and with all the grafts! I'll also be consolidating his careful comparison of the RAW grafting rules. Thanks everyone!

The Rules

Application Methods:

(click to show/hide)

• The Wish spell: Don't consider it even if you have the grafts in front of you. You end up having to pay 5K+twice the XP cost of the item. Only use this method if it's a scroll or ring or staff, or if you want to set yourself a level behind. Or if using the Sacrifice rules from the BoVD...
• Crafting them yourself: This is an OK method, as there are two classes capable of doing this cheaply: The Fleshgrafter PrC and the Artificer base class. Both of those can reduce the costs dramatically, making grafts more widely available for the party. The downside is you need to waste feats in order to make grafts, but in the Artificer's case you can just create an item of Psychic Reformation and get rid of the feat when you finish. Do not do this if you are not able to play one of those classes.
• Paying an NPC to craft them for you: This may be considered cheesy because there is no 'service' entry for NPC graft construction. Its more expensive than crafting them yourself, but it's better to spend GP than levels or XP. Even cheesier: Dominate someone, DCFS them the appropriate feat and force them to craft the grafts for free. Expect flying DMGs.
• Find a Fiend of Corruption: Fiends of Corruption are capable of creating any Fiendish Graft once per month. This is a risky method, but it's not too hard to get a Succubus FoC into a Planar Binding trap and forcing the ability (then use Dismissal to get rid of the fiend).
• The Silithar: From Lords of Madness, we get a CG swarm-like race capable of using the Graft Flesh feat. What's more, they are eager to continue their research on grafting, and may do so for free if you are wiling to let them work on you. This is very much dependent on your DM though.
• Planar Binding a Sibriex: From the FC1, we get a super-grafter: The Sibriex Obyrith. With 15HD, these are perfectly within GPB's abilities, but they are powerful bastards. They force a DC24 Will save on you just by being within 60ft, and can attack through a Magic Circle against Evil thanks to their Control Chains ability, and are immune to Mind-Affecting spells/abilities. But they have one massive bonus if you can subdue them: Instant Graft 3/day. They can create ANY Fiendish graft for free, 3/day. Quite a step up from the Fiend of Corruption. It may be possible to use Psychic Reformation to alter what they can create (since they do have the Graft Flesh feat), so talk with your DM.

As you can see old style (and specifically Fiendish) grafts have more ways to find themselves implanted on you. There is even a silly reading of RAW that may allow them to be applied without the GP cost. We'll see.

Old Style

(click to show/hide)

The Old Style of grafts and grafting rules covers a positively huge array of grafts, all of which can be mixed and matched very easily. The rules on this list apply to Beholder, Fiendish, Maug (Fiend Folio), Aboleth, Silithar, Illithid (Lords of Madness), Yuan-Ti (Serpent Kingdoms), Undead (Libris Mortis) and Pirate (Dragon Magazine 318) grafts.

• Grafts are not independent magic items. They are nonmagical body parts that do not have separate stats of their own.
• All Grafts require the Graft Flesh feat, a Caster Level, possibly a spell, and always require a "donor", willing or otherwise, to create. This is where the similarity stops.
• Many grafts have a penalty associated with them.
• Grafts are attached to the character, and cannot be sundered, dispelled, or suppressed by an AMF/Dead Magic zone. MDJ has no effect on Grafts.
• There is no limit on how many or what kinds of grafts a creature can have.
• Grafts take 1 day per 1000gp in their price to create. They all cost 1/25 of their GP value in XP, just like other magic items.

New Style

(click to show/hide)

The "New Style" grafts have their own set of rules. These cover Deathless, Elemental, and Plant grafts in Magic of Eberron followed by Construct grafts in Faiths of Eberron, and finally Dragonic grafts in Races of the Dragon which have their own premade encounter.

• New Style grafts can only be created and applied by someone with the appropriate feat. The grafts in this book require the Deathless Fleshgrafter, Eldeen Plantgrafter, Elemental Grafter, Construct Grafter, or Wyrmgrafter feat respectively.
• A single creature can have only 5 New Style grafts. A single creature cannot have more than one type of graft (Construct, Deathless, Dragonic, Plant, or Elemental).
• New Style grafts have their own item slots, separate from normal item slots. These slots can hold one graft each.
• New Style grafts require a sacrifice from the creature they are being applied to. Each graft has a different price, listed underneath each one.
• All New Style grafts require a donor creature. Although you can create an artificial version specifically for a construct graft as part of the cost of creating the graft itself.
• New Style grafts have no statistics of their own, and cannot be damaged or targeted by anything. Grafts can only be removed by someone with the appropriate feat needed to create that type of graft, and only after 8 hours of uninterrupted work in a quiet location. Attempting to remove the graft with anything else (other than a Wish or Miracle, perhaps) destroys the graft instantly.
  
• Transferring New Style grafts is possible with the above, but it deals 4d6 Con damage to the recipient of the used graft.
• New Style grafts die with their bearer. The can be restored by Resurrecting that creature.
• New Style grafts are non-magical, but some abilities they have can be.
• New Style grafts take 1 day per 1000gp in their price to create. They all cost 1/25 of their GP value in XP, just like other magic items.
• New Style grafts bestow a cumulative benefit upon their bearer. The benefits are listed below.
• Races of the Dragon further restricted old grafts from mixing with new ones. "Furthermore, no character can have more than one type of graft—for instance, both a draconic graft and an undead graft (described on page 70 of Libris Mortis or page 214 of Fiend Folio). Rumors of attempts to bypass these biological limits abound, but such monstrosities—for that is what such creatures  become—rarely live long."

Reconciling the Rule Sets:

(click to show/hide)

• Only the new grafts are incompatible with other grafts... which doesn't make sense because you could already make a monster with the old grafts. I will assume that the "individuals who have attempted to bypass these biological limits abound, but such monstrosities ... rarely live long" (MoE126) is because of the new gaft hp loss. I therefore recommend treating the single graft type limitation as fluff. If your DM likes this fluff (and probably hates one of the coolest PrCs ever: the fleshwarper), then feel free to limit 5 graft types of the new grafts (including different elemental grafts) and 5 of the old. It no more breaks the game than allowing 5 slotless items as per MiC pricing.
• Only new grafts have slot types. Originally there is supposed to be a one per slot maximum, but as you'll see this doesn't always line up. Old grafts, however could help you gain three odd arms or whatever. Though we will obey this rule, DMs are encouraged to consider it an extension of the above, along with an attempt to balance the cumulative benefit of having all 5 grafts of the same type. So really, it should say: "characters only gain the passive benefits for one graft type up to a limit of 5 instances." There was that so hard? Now its consistent with the old style. DMs may want to also make sure that the exact same body part isn't being replaced more than once.
• Technically the only way to craft old-style Maug grafts is with the new-style Construct Crafter feat. This is because both the original Graft Flesh feat in Fiend Flio 207 and the additions to it on LoM 216 or DragMag318 p54 do not mention Maug or construct grafts. But according to FF 213 "all maug grafts are construct grafts." Clearly the old Graft Flesh feat should allow Maug grafts. This may be useful for a DM that is not disallowing the PC to bypass the 'biological limits' mentioned above and therefore using the new graft limitations, but also imposing them on the older grafts. Then you gain new style benefits on old style grafts!

Fiendish

(click to show/hide)

Presented in the Fiend Folio, and never reprinted anywhere, these grafts all require a denizen of the Lower Planes as a donor and creator. These grafts have a drawback: Good characters need to make a DC 15 Will save every day or take 1d3 Wis damage (no big deal, easily healed with an Orb of Mental Renewal or Eternal Wand of Lesser Restoration). Non-Good characters must make a DC 15 Will save or perform an Evil act of unspecified nature (so up to the DM).

Regardless, even one Fiendish graft imposes a -6 penalty on Diplomacy checks, even if they aren't aware of the graft. Aside from these, there are no drawbacks to having a Fiendish graft unless you are the party face. These grafts are the easiest to obtain, as outlined above.

• Charming Eye: 120,000gp for an item that has a Save DC of 14… For that much cash, I could just BRIBE THEM!
• Clawed Arm: +4 Untyped bonus to Str, and a 1d6 Claw attack. Just the Str bonus is worth it, the claw attack is just gravy!
• Fast Leg: Extra speed and a nice bonus to Jump/Climb, and it's dirt-cheap.
• Fearsome Eye: No, just… no. See Invisibility is not worth 120,000gp, even when it's constantly on.
• Feathered Wings: EX Flight for 10K. I repeat, EX Flight for 10,000gp. If only the Wing Buffet was a natural attack, I'd never play a character without these.
• Fiendish Ear: Cheap, but a 5% chance of being screwed over for using it is a bit too risky for my taste.
• Fiendish Jaw: 2K for an additional natural weapon. That's an effing steal!
• Fiendish Skin: It's too expensive for a +2 bonus to AC and Darkvision. Poison sucks at this level anyway.
• Flexible Arm: A weak slam, but it's an extra natural attack anyway.
• Grappling Tentacle: 7,000gp cheaper and it deals more damage while providing a +6 bonus on Grapple checks. Forget the Flexible one even exists!
• Long Arm: YOU GET AN ADDITIONAL 5FT OF REACH! I don't want to make that text bigger, but 5K for a natural weapon that has a natural reach is ballistically good. Any melee tank should have it.
• Membranous Wings: Inferior to the feathered wings.
• Springing Leg: +35 to Jump checks is nice and all, but I like my base land speed more than that. Besides, you can get Flight at 10K.
• Stinging Tail: No one cares about the poison, but the 2d4+Str on a natural weapon is really good.
• Strong Leg: This is the single cheapest inherent bonus to Con there is. 8K for a +2 is dirt cheap.
• Trampling Leg: EVen if it were half that price I wouldn't buy this.
• Whip Tail:It's cheaper than the Stinging Tail, but you can't do anything with it. The Daze DC is too low for that price tag anyway. Oddly, I think it would be more expensive if WotC excluded the Daze effect (their logic is fucked up like that).

Maug

(click to show/hide)

Maug grafts are gaudy and actually have no additional costs to the bearer. Only a few have penalties associated with them.

• Locking Hand: Basically a locked gauntlet that stacks with itself and the actual locked gauntlet. And it lets you deal lethal damage while unarmed, but doesn't give the IUS feat.
• Rollers: The speed bonus is huge, the trample damage is decent, but I just can't see a use for them at the level you can afford them (since flight is ubiquitous at that point). They aren't bad though, as long as you never go swimming.
• Shoving Arm: I keep messing up on the name, calling it a Shiving Arm. Which would be a hell of a lot less useful than this thing. Shoving Arms can Bull Rush anything of any size category, and get an extra +5 bonus on the check. For 2,000gp, every Dungeoncrasher should have at least one of these.
• Shudder Plate: Tremorsense out to 15ft, which is insane for it's price tag (8,000gp). Now you can keep watch without needing to worry about anything that lacks Darkstalker. Oh wait, this graft doesn't explicitly grant Tremorsense (likely because it didn't exist when the FF was printed), so this gets around Darkstalker. Ok, so long as it doesn't hover, you can detect it.
• Spike Stones: There really isn't anything bad about these. They aren't labeled as being Constrict-based, but function similarly. And +1d4 damage on natural weapons/unarmed strikes is pretty nice too, especially for 4K.
• Stone Spitter: Low damage, can't be enchanted without enchanting the bullets, but that's to be expected. Really, it's just an arm cannon (well, shoulder cannon).

Beholder

(click to show/hide)

Strangely, Beholder grafts weren't reprinted in the one place you would expect them to be: Lords of Madness. The Fiend Folio remains the only up-to-date source on these grafts. And dear god, hese are expensive. None of these cost less than 50K, and are very weak for their price tags.

• Crown of Eyes: Darkvision out to 60ft, +4 to Search and Spot checks, and you can't be Flanked. Overpriced for 64,000gp, even with the Flanking part (since you can get that with a feat).
• Eye Stalk: Gives you one, and I do means ONE, of the Beholder's eye beams. It works 3/day, has a Save DC of 18, and requires a Ranged Touch Attack. It couldn't be any more underwhelming for 195,000gp.
• Gazing Eye: This gives you a psuedo-Eye Beam. It can be either Charm Monster, Sleep, Flesh to Stone, or Cause Fear, but they all require you to actively use them and only have a save DC of 16. Again, 195,000gp, so its worthless by the time you can buy it.
• Plated Skin: The only thing on this list that's actually useful. +4 Natural Armor, and it's not typed. 64,000 is very expensive, but that's what you get for an unslotted, EX, untyped +4 bonus to AC.
• Replacement Eye Same exact thing as the Eye Stalk, except it doesn't look as freaky. And it's the SAME PRICE!
• Third Eye: 3/day, you can produce a 50ft Antimagic cone, same way a Beholder can. For 165,000gp, a full 30,000gp cheaper than half this list. Ugh.

Aboleth

(click to show/hide)

These grafts were printed in the Fiend Folio, but they've been updated in Lords of Madness. Aboleth grafts have a massive drawback: They decay 1d4+1 days after being applied to anything that isn't a scum, aboleth, or other aboleth-related creature. These are NOT worth that drawback. But for completion's sake, I will list them here.

• Amphibious Skin: Breath air and water equally, provided you have the Aquatic subtype. The drawback aside, this is replicated completely by a ring in Stormwrack, and it's much cheaper.
• Inksac: Only works under water, and only matters if you really need the concealment. And only lasts 1d4+1 days after being attached to you.
• Mucus Projector: Gives you the Aboleth Slime ability. The only redeeming quality is the save scales, but it's still terrible because of the price and duration.
• Waterjet: Meh. Mobility under water. If it didn't have the 1d4+1 day duration, I'd say this would be useful for a seafaring campaign. But it sucks by nature.

Illithid

(click to show/hide)

Whereas Beholder and Aboleths suck at creating grafts, Mind Flayers are decent at it. Having an Illithid graft imposes a -4 penalty on Will saves against Mind Affecting, spells, SLAs, and against any Psionic power. A steep weakness, but you should be able to compensate anyway. Some of these can be found in Lords of Madness, the rest are located in the Fiend Folio.

• Antennae Graft: Ok, so they did have Tremorsense back in 3.0. And it was dirt cheap! Range of 60ft, and only 20,000gp to boot.
• Burrowing Claws: I think this is the only thing in the entire game that gives you a burrow speed without needing to polymorph you outright. 30,000.
• Climbing Legs: Climb Speed of 15ft. Not bad, but you've probably started encountering flying enemies at the point where you can afford 4,000gp.
• Darksight Eyes: Darkvision out to 60ft for 24,000gp. I'm sure there are cheaper methods for darkvision.
• Goring Horn: A gore attack and Improved Bull Rush for 8,000gp. That's a steal.
• Grasping Mandibles: More expensive than the next best Bite attack source, but 2d6 base damage and Improved Grab, and Constrict, all in one graft is effing powerful. 15,000 well spent.
• Hauling Back: Meh.
• Mind Blast Relay: Worthless to a player unless your party's Wizard is also a Mind Flayer, which should NEVER happen.
• Raking Tentacles: Natural reach at the cost of an arm and 5,000gp. The damage sucks, but who cares when you can trip like a spiked chain?
• Rending Claw: Who wants a x3 Crit Multiplier superclaw for 5,000gp? I do!
• Weapon Graft: This has been mentioned several times, but it's got one major advantage: The weapon becomes both magical and nonmagical at the same time. For an extra 1,000gp and the cost of my arm, I'd love to have a weapon that can't be suppressed while still being able to hit incorporeal enemies because of the enhancement bonus.

Silthilar

(click to show/hide)

The only Graft type introduced in Lords of Madness, Silthilar are aberrations that perform graft-based experiments on willing subjects. They are CG-aligned, and may very well be willing to give you free grafts if you just let them experiment on you. At least if the DM doesn't count them against your WBL later, that is.

• Chitin Plating: This graft provides a bonus to your Natural Armor, but it doesn't stack with existing natural armor (but it does stack with enhancement bonuses, since it isn't one itself). It ranges from +1 to +5, getting exponentially more expensive as it does (+5 is 100K, and not worth the price unless you can get it for free).
• Flexible Spine: Improved Init with a +4 bonus to a few skills is not worth 91,000gp, even if it is slotless.
• Extended Legs: Seriously, who priced these?
• Healing Blood: Ex Fast Healing 2 for 180K. I needn't say how expensive this is, but seriously, that pays for itself over the course of a few days. Bonus points if you can get it free of charge by being a test subject!
• Rudimentary Eyespots: Too expensive.
• Silthilar Bones: +2 untyped bonus to Con, and it's expensive as hell. If you have the gold to spare or can cut the costs, then this is a must-have. But it's way too much cash otherwise.
• Silthilar Heart: This one is capable of saving your life, but as the author of Band Aids for Dummies, I deem this not cost-effective. Again, see if you can get it by being a test subject for best value.
• Silthilar Muscles: See the bones graft above. +2 Str isn't much though.
• Silthilar Tendons: Another +2, this time to Dex. See above.

Undead

(click to show/hide)

Found in Libris Mortis (every undead graft printed in the FF was reprinted in LM), these grafts have no actual drawback, and some of them are incredibly cheap for what they do.

• Bonemail: Rather meh, but +2 Nat Armor is nice for that price. Casters will love it.
• Bodak's Eye: Really not worth the price, especially at 1/day. Very low save DC renders it useless at the level you can afford it.
• Enervating Arm: Who actually buys this for the Negative Level ability? +4 Inherent bonus to Str for 40,000, making it considerably cheaper than the Manual.
• Eye of Flame: A 1/day Fireball SLA (it's explicitly stated to be an SLA) at CL 10 is not worth having, even if it does half divine damage.
• Ghostly Arm: While it isn't much, it's a nice trick.
• Morhg's Tongue: It can paralyze at will, and is a natural weapon. Its 1/round and a secondary weapon, but the DC is only 17.
• Mummified Eye: So not worth it. Never even think about it.
• Mummified Hand: If only for the slam attack. NPCs make the best use of this, but oh well.
• Paralyzing Arm: See Enervating Arm.
• Skeletal Hand: Dirt cheap for an additional attack.
• Undead Skin: I honestly don't like this, but I don't consider it a bad thing (it just doesn't make sense to me that rotten skin is capable of protecting you like this).
• Vampire Fangs: They shin on a grapple build, but you are better off getting Constrict.
• Weakening Arm: See Enervating Arm. I feel this is the best of the three.
• Zombie Arm: It's cheaper than the Enervating Arm, but really not much better. The slam is nice though.

Yuan-Ti

(click to show/hide)

Originally printed in the FF, these grafts were updated to 3.5 play in Serpent Kingdoms (possibly the only good thing that book did to 3.5).

• Added Tail: It's cheap for a swim speed, but the constrict it grants is too minor to matter. Using the Expansion power or the Giant Size spell really is the best way to use it, but you are better off dipping Warblade/Crusader and getting that Stone Dragon Stance if you really want Constrict (or use the Replacement Tail graft).
• Poison Fangs: If you have a bite, this adds a scaling-DC Con poison to it. If not, you have to grapple to make use of it.
• Replacement Tail: You lose out on 10ft of your base land speed, but gain a Climb and Swim speed equal to your original speed. And Constrict. The problem is the price tag puts this into the mid-levels, when Fly speeds are easily obtained.
• Scaly Skin: An untyped _3 bonus to natural armor, but it lacks the normal "If you don't have it, treat your Nat Armor as 0" clause. Combine with other grafts to bypass this.
• Serpent Arm: Gives you a literal snake for an arm. Scaling poison DC is nice, but it's lacking rules on how this affects your grabbing hand...

Pirate

(click to show/hide)

Printed in Dragon Magazine 318 p54. These grafts are very flavorful, but often weak like most all Dragon magazine material.

• Eye of the murky Deep [30k, create water, darkvision] = -2spot&search unless covered (like with an eyepatch). Close any normal eyes to be immune to gazes and see 20' in water unless blinded or in magical darkness. 30,000gp for seeing in murky water? Really?
• Golden Dancing Pegleg [55k, cat's grace, FoM] = Mobility and Spring attack feats. +10competence to Perform (Dance). Very expensive, considering the mobility armor enhancement. Maybe doable if you've managed to make spring attack not a trap.
• Hot Iron Hook [36k heat metal, mark of justice] = +1d4 fire damage with it and 1/day CL9 mark of justice. Decent on an NPC, not for a PC.
• Leg of Squid [40k, Evard's black tentacles] = Improved Grapple feat, +4grapple, +10 competenece Swim. -50% ms. Basically this requires flight to even think about it. Quite a price tag.
• Mutineer's Eye [4k, bestow curse, true strike] = -2spot, +1d6 sneak attack if had any before.
• Ossified Pegleg [36k, command undead, hide from undead] = continuous hide from undead, which can be toggled as standard action, 1/day command undead CL5. Weak CL and other items do this better.
• Sailor's Hook [12.5k 1rank climb&use rope] = +5 competence use rope and climb. Very expensive for those two skills.
• Spyglass eye [25k guidance, 1rank spot] = ignore spot penalties for first 150'. Decent for looking far.
• Teakwood Pegleg [12.55k cat's grace] = +5 competence swim & balance. DC20 search secret compartment large enough for parchment or dagger. Low DC and extradimensional spaces aren't that hard to get...

Inevitable

(click to show/hide)

Printed in Dragon Magazine 315 p46. These grafts are odd and weak like most all Dragon magazine material. They may or may not require a sacrifice from an inevitable.

• Zelekhut Wings [100k, fly] = 60' fly speed no matter your base. Only useful for things with 5' base ms. Way too expensive
• Kalyarut Hand [86.4k, vampiric touch] = 3/day 6d6 assumable as a standard action. Gives temporary hp for an hour. Very expensive for the benefit.

Draconic

(click to show/hide)

From Races of the Dragon, these give (grafts-1) as DR X/magic. Multiple Dragonic Grafts make all natural weapons treated as magic for DR

• Buffeting Wings: [arms] fly(average)=ms, 2 slams while standing if no shield on that arm but then no weapon attacks, -2dex, -8hp, 100k. Its a trap! See the feathered wings above.
• Dragonbone Legs: [Legs] +4climb, jump, swim, -4hp, 8k. Meh. Mostly just worth it for the cheap DR/magic at this point.
• Dragonheart Presence: [Flesh] immune paralysis, frightful presence of dragons, +2bluff, diplo, gather info, intimidate for dragonbloods -4hp, 12k. The immunities are easy to get and the bonuses are obscure.
• Frightful Crest: [Head] living nondragons in 30' panicked 1 round if fewer HD, otherwise shaken. DC10+.5HD+cha Will or immunity to frightful presence means can't retry for a day, -6hp, 28k. Maybe doable on a Dread Witch.
• Glaring Eye: [Head] blindsense 30', +2search&spot, immune magical sleep -2hp, 10k. Decent for blindsense.
• Gleaming Scales: [Skin] +1 stacking natural armor, +5resistance 1 energy that dragon is immune or resistant to, -4hp, 9k. Decent cost and fairly customizable.
• Metabolic Fire: [Flesh, 1 other draconic graft] 6d8 breath weapon of donor energy type 30'cone or 60'line DC10+.5HD+cha Refl for half, -6hp, 56k. Maybe worth it for DFAs or other BW builds.
• Resilient Scales: [Skin] energy res 30 of donor type. Counts as two grafts for the passive DR/magic bonus, -6hp, 70k. What a price tag! The ring version is almost have the price.
• Smashing Tail: [Legs] slam as dragon 1 size larger, 1.5x str, +2balance, swim, -4hp, 30k. Expensive but doable with the prehensile tail feat.
• Taloned Arm: [Arms] claw as dragon of your size, -2hp, 34k. Expensive for a single claw.

Construct

(click to show/hide)

From Faiths of Eberron these give (grafts-1) as DR X/adamantine. Multiple grafts allows a bonus to saves to resist Energy Drain, Death effects and Necromancy effects equal to the number of Construct grafts.

• Adamantine Skin: [Skin] counts as medium armor, +3max dex, -3armor check, 25%ASF, +5armor to AC, DR2/adamantine, light fortification, 4hp, 11k. So its worse than real medium armor?
• Heart of Steel: [Flesh] immune to disease, paralysis, poison, 50% magic healing benefit, -2hp, 9k. Not worth the healing deficiency
• Heavy Legs: [Legs] fatigued instead of exhausted, immune to fatigue, -2swim, -2hp, 6k
• Mighty Arms: [Arms] 1d4 slam if medium, -2hp, 1k
• Wakeful Mind: [Head] immunity sleep & stunning, no need to sleep, -2knowledges, -2hp, 14k. Immunity to nonmagical sleep is hard to come by.

Deathless

(click to show/hide)

From Magic of Eberron these give a bonus to fort saves for poison & disease if you have more than one.

• Arms of the Ancestor: [Arms] +1 climb, swim, grapple, melee weapon damage with that arm, 1/hr fast heal 3 or 3dam/round undead for .5HD rounds, -2dex, -4hp, 8.5k. Decent
• Bone Plating: [Skin] +1nat, +5cold res, -4hp, 9k. It stacks
• Deathless Flesh: [Flesh] medium fortification, 50% chance death effect immunity, -2con, 33k
• Deathless Visage: [Head, max lifespan over 200 years] standard action 30' gaze frightening unless will save, -2bluff, dipl, gather info, intim unless against Aerenal elf or deathless, -6hp, 32k. High prereqs, not as good as frightful presence.
• Legs of the Undying Marcher: [legs] never tire of walking, no con check for nonlethal damage or fatigue from forced marching, +2reflex, +4bullrushed or tripped, -2hp, 6k

Elemental

(click to show/hide)

From Magic of Eberron these are higher powered but have an extra limitation. The bonuses depend on the elemental type.

Elemental Flesh [Any]: [Flesh] cannot be your first elemental graft of that type, 50%fortification and stun immunity chance, 8hp, 31k. Decent only because of the passive bonuses from other grafts.

Air Elemental require no earth grafts and give (grafts-1) x 5' ms

• Buffeting Fists [Air]: [Arms] as if deflect arrows but 1+dex times, 1/day standard action large size wind bullrushes creatures within 10' with str=yours+10 but max of 5' push back (no effect on you), -4hp, 13k. Good with high dex.
• Dust Form [Air]: [Legs] 1/min when not underwater take a move action to blind adjacent living creatures unless they Fort save, -6climb, jump, swim, -4hp, 7k. No range.
• Whirlwind Form [Air]: [Skin] not underwater standard action at will 20'fly (perfect) but -4listen, search, spot, hide, move silent, -2con, 58k. Low speed, high cost. Only take this if you really, really need maneuverability.

From Magic of Ebberon these grant a bonus to will save on mind-effects if you have more than 1

• Healing Nodule: [Skin] 1/hr move then standard action for cure serious wounds, making 1 a remove disease potion means no heals for 1 day, -2fort, -6hp, 21k. If you can wake up at night, this is a LOT of healing.
• Darkwood Flesh: [Flesh] light fortification, fast heal 3 for 1/3 damage rounds if successfully critted, -2dex, -4hp, 19k. Only better than more fortification if you have far too much HP
• Fatigue Spores: [Skin] 1/min swift con-based Fort or fatigue, 24hr save delay, doesn't stack for the same graftee, -4hp, 12k. Its only fatigue
• Grappling Vine: [Arms] 10' standard ranged touch to free action +4 grapple w/ constrict, can get objects, can't support your weight, heals and regrows, -4hp, 7k. No vine swinging for you.
• Perception Seed: [Head] lowlight vision or if already have then stacks for x3 human range, +2competance spot&search, -2hp, 4k. Kinda neat that the distance stacks
