Please don't post yet. No opinions. No Discussion. No anything until this tag is removed.
I need to clean up a lot, and add some stuff.
I will ignore anything here not by me until such time as I am ready.

From Where Stuff is Soft (Modified Outsider racial traits) (Na):

(click to show/hide)

Those who are from the alternate realm of Planet Pop Star are just not as tough as those from many other alternate realities.
Kirbys only have 6-sided Hit Dice.
Kirbys only have ¾ BAB (as rogue).
Unlike normal outsiders, Kirbys do not have good Reflex saves.
Darkvision out to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision.

Tiny Size:

(click to show/hide)

The size of the Kirby grants the following effects:
+2 size bonus to AC
+2 Size bonus to attack rolls
+8 to hide checks
-8 to grapple checks (but see Form of Gum and Taffy, below)
A reach of 0ft (but see Form of Gum and Taffy, below)

Ability Scores:

(click to show/hide)

A Kirby starts out with a -2 to their Strength, due to their malleable body. Despite their size, Kirbys are remarkably tough, though are not as agile as most things their size. As a Kirby grows, they gain a better understanding of how their body works, and how to use it. This results in ability score increases gaining a permanent +1 to: Str at levels 2, 5, 8, and 10; Con at levels 4, 7, 9, and 12.

Form of Gum and Taffy (Na):

(click to show/hide)

The flexible body of Kirby lets them function in many ways as if they were small size, instead of tiny. Whenever a Kirby is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the Kirby is treated as small if doing so is advantageous to him. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size.
At 3rd level, the Kirby instead counts as Medium size. At 6th level the Kirby counts as Large, and its reach increases to 5ft. This continues to progress to allow the Kirby to count as Huge at 9th and Gargantuan at 12th.
Additionally, the flexible body of a Kirby allows for it to deflect some blows that would normally damage it. This takes the form of a Natural Armor bonus to AC equal to the Con Bonus of the Kirby.

Slam (Na):

(click to show/hide)

Kirbys have a slam attack. Due to the ability to swing its hand back and use its body like a flail, this deal damage based on the Kirbys effective size from Form of Gum and Taffy. See page 296 of the Monster Manual for damage by size for slam attacks.

Inhale (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

As a standard action a Kirby can inhale large amounts of air. This grants the Kirby the Full of Air status, which is required for the use of some of its abilities. While Full of Air, the Kirby is holding its breath and is counted as having prepared to do so, see Suffocation page 304 of the DMG for details.
As the Kirby grows and develops, his ability to inhale a large volume of air improves in speed. At 4th level, Inhale becomes a Move action. At 7th level, Inhale becomes a Swift action.

Air Gun (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

While Full of Air a Kirby may, as a standard action, exhale with such force that it deals damage to those in front of it. This forms a line that deals bludgeoning damage. The line’s length is 5 feet per Hit Die the Kirby has. The Air Gun deals 1d4 + Str damage, plus an extra 1d4 for each Hit Die above its first the Kirby possesses (2d4 at 2 HD, 3d4 at 3 HD, and so on). A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the Kirby’s HD + his Con modifier) halves the damage. This ends the Full of Air status of the Kirby.
The Kirby may choose to jettison the air in such a way to have the damage be non-lethal, though this reduces the save DC by 2, since the slower air is easier to resist.
This ability is much less effective underwater, dealing half damage and having a range of 5 feet per 4 HD. Additionally, when used underwater, creatures with a swim speed gain a +4 bonus on their save.

Engulf (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

At 2nd level, a Kirby gains the ability to hold enemies in its “mouth”. As a standard action that does not provide an attack of opportunity, the Kirby can make a grapple check against a threatened enemy that is at least one size smaller that the Kirby's effective size from Form of Gum and Taffy, above. If the Kirby wins the check, the enemy is trapped in the Kirby's “mouth”. The enemy may attempt to escape by making a new Grapple check as a standard action on each of its rounds. If the creature does escape, then it is positioned in the same square as the Kirby.
A Kirby may only keep an enemy trapped for a maximum number of rounds equal to ½ of its Constitution Modifier. At the end of this period the Kirby has kept its body distended for so long, that the enemy pops out of its mouth as though it has succeeded at its grapple check.
A Kirby cannot have more than one enemy in its mouth at a time.
Due to the flexible nature of the Kirby form, an engulfed creature does not take any damage from being engulfed. However, each round the creature must make a Fort save (DC = 10 + ½ of the Kirby's HD + the Kirby's Con Mod) or be Paralyzed for one round as the gummy nature of the Kirby prevents it from moving. The Kirby may choose to allow the engulfed creature to automatically pass this save.
While a creature is engulfed, the Kirby's size changes to that creatures size, and loses all of the benefits of Form of Gum and Taffy except the size category limit on Engulf.
A Kirby cannot attempt to use Engulf for 1d3 rounds after a use of Engulf has ended for any reason. (Such as the creature escaping, being shot out, etc.)

What'd I just Eat? (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

Upon Engulfing a creature, Kirby can learn some of the information about the creature within it. As a free action as soon as the Kirby has a creature engulfed, the Kirby may make a Survival check to learn about the creature. The checks DC is equal to the creatures CR + 2. Initially, this ability only reveals basic information (exact size, weight, creature type and subtypes, taste), but improves along with the Kirby's Copy Ability once that ability is gained. Once the Kirby gains Copy Ability, the Kirby obtains the knowledge of one ability that the Kirby could choose to copy if it beats the Survival check, plus the knowledge of one additional ability for every 4 by which the Kirby beats the check DC. The abilities learned through What'd I just Eat? are randomly selected by the DM, though a Kirby may try to specifically try to "taste" for a particular ability set (such as a Kirby with Greater Copy Fighting Form trying to learn all of the maneuvers possessed by a creature that has shown such ability), which would cause those abilities to be known first.

Star Shot (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

At 3rd level a Kirby gains the ability to spit out an Engulfed creature so fast others think they see stars. To use this ability the Kirby must have a creature engulfed and must be under the Full of Air status. A Kirby cannot use this ability with an enemy that weighs more than what would be a heavy load for the Kirby (including the size change due to Engulf).
The Kirby must choose a target area within 5ft per HD of the Kirby. The target area has a size equal to the size of the creature being shot out of the Kirby (5ft-square for a medium creature). If there are creatures in the area that is being targeted the creature may be struck, taking an amount of bludgeoning damage equal to the Kirby’s Air Gun + 1d4 per 50 pounds of the propelled creature. Creatures in the target area can make a Reflex save to negate taking this damage, the save DC is the same as the save DC for the Kirby's Air Gun.
The propelled creature takes an amount of damage equal to the Kirby’s Air Gun, which can be made non-lethal at the Kirby's option, and ends up in a space adjacent to the targeted area, determined randomly (in the same manner as splash weapons), regardless of whether the attack roll was successful.

Use of this ability ends the Full of Air status

Copy Ability (Su):

(click to show/hide)

At 4th level a Kirby gains the amazing ability to acquire the abilities of its foes, to a limited extent. As a swift action at the start of the Kirby’s turn, the Kirby may attempt to gain an ability of a creature that is engulfed (see above). To do this, the Kirby chooses an ability possessed by the creature to attempt to gain, the creature then opposes this attempt with a Will save (DC = 10 + ½ of the Kirby’s HD + the Kirby’s Cha Mod). If the creature succeeds then it can immediately make an extra attempt to either remove Paralysis if paralyzed by Engulf, or a grapple check if not Paralyzed, as it rebels against the attempt of the Kirby to reshape its body to use this creatures ability. If the creature fails its save then the Kirby gains the chosen ability until the beginning of the Kirby's next turn. In order to choose an ability to copy, the Kirby must have knowledge of the ability being possessed by the creature, whether that be from a knowledge check, the result of What'd I just Eat?, having witnessed the ability, or some other source.
If the Kirby receives any damage, then it must make a concentration check in order to retain the copied ability. The DC of the check is (the copied creature’s HD + the damage dealt).
If the copied creature ceases to be engulfed for any reason, the Kirby loses the ability.
The Kirby must abide by any restrictions that the creature has on the ability, such as time that must pass in between uses.
To begin with, the Kirby may only choose a single (Ex) Special Attack.
At 8th level, the Kirby gains a new function of its Copy Ability known as Copy Fighting Form. Using this ability the Kirby may choose to, instead of choosing a single (Ex) ability, meld the weapons, ammo, and / or shield of the engulfed creature out to the edges of the Kirby’s body, allowing for their use. Weapons and shields are still held by the creature, as is ammo until it is used. Additionally, the Kirby may choose a number of feats, equal to ½ of the Kirby’s racial HD (max of 6 feats), that are possessed by the creature, and gain the benefit of the chosen feats. The feats chosen must be typed as those available as fighter bonus feats.
At 10th level, the Kirby gains the ability to choose a single (Ex) Special Quality.
At 12th level, the Kirby gains the ability to choose a single (Su) or (Sp) ability. If the chosen ability emulates a spell that would normally require the expenditure of a costly material component, a costly focus, or XP, then the use of this ability requires that expenditure as well, even though the creatures’ ability normally would not. If the chosen ability emulates or is a Conjuration (Calling) or Conjuration (Summoning) effect that conjures a creature, the creature is loyal to the creature the Kirby is engulfing, not the Kirby [oh, the poor Kirbys that learned this].

Blimp (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

At 5th level the Kirby learns how to use the air within it to become buoyant. This grants the Kirby a fly speed of 20ft with perfect maneuverability while under the Full of Air status. At 10th level the speed improves to 40ft. This ability can be used while the Kirby has a creature engulfed but the maneuverability becomes that of the creatures fly speed, if the creature has no fly speed then the Kirby cannot move any direction other than down.

Inhale Enemy (Ex):

(click to show/hide)

At 6th level the Kirby gains the ability to use a full-round action to breathe in with such force that it can draw creatures toward it. Any creature within a 30ft cone Must make a Reflex save or be drawn toward the Kirby. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 the Kirby’s HD + his Con modifier for flying creatures, or 8 + 1/2 the Kirby's HD for non-flying creatures. Creatures that are unusually stable, such as those with more than two legs, gain an additional +4 on this save if on the ground. Creatures that are burrowing are immune to this ability. Any creature that weighs more than 100lbs x the Kirby’s Con Mod cannot be affected by this ability.
The Kirby chooses what in what order creatures are affected by this ability, but cannot exclude any creatures in the area of effect and cannot choose a creature to be affected until all interposing creatures have been targeted.
The first creature to fail its save against Inhale Enemy is moved towards the Kirby until it shares at least one space with the Kirby. Other creatures that fail their saves are moved toward the Kirby in a straight line until they encounter an obstacle that blocks their path (such as another creature). If a creature is drawn into the Kirby’s space the Kirby may attempt to use its Engulf ability on that creature as a free action.
Inhale Enemy also draws objects towards the Kirby as well. Any object that is not fastened down that is less than half the weight that would be a light load for the Kirby is drawn toward the Kirby as if it were a creature that failed its save. Any object that is not fastened down that is at least a light load for the Kirby moves towards the Kirby 1d4 x5 feet. Heavier objects or objects that are fastened down are not affected.
Using Inhale Enemy grants the Kirby the Full of Air status.

Deep Breath (Sp):

(click to show/hide)

At 11th level, a Kirby gains the ability to use Deep Breath (SC page 61) as a Spell-like Ability at will as an Immediate action. In addition to its normal effects, this also grants the Kirby the Full of Air status (see Inhale, above).

Racial Feats of the Kirby Race

Greater Copy Fighting Form [Racial]
Through learning how others fight, the Kirby has learned how to copy Maneuvers.
Prerequisites: Must be a Kirby. Must know Copy Fighting Form.
Benefit: The Kirby gains the ability to trade gaining the use of feats from the target of Copy Fighting Form for gaining the use of its Maneuvers. When the Kirby uses Copy Fighting Form of a creature with access to martial maneuvers, it may choose to gain the use of one martial maneuver that the creature currently has access to by instead choosing two fewer feats to gain access to.
If the creature being copied is a Crusader, this means that the maneuver must be readied and granted, for other martial adept classes it must merely be currently readied and unexpended.
For the purposes of What'd I just Eat?, all currently readied maneuvers are a single ability.
The Kirby may choose to gain the ability to copy more than one maneuver, but this limits its ability to copy feats further. Thus a level 12 Kirby may choose to take 6 feats, one strike maneuver and 4 feats, 2 strike maneuvers and 2 feats, or 3 strike maneuvers.
The Kirby may only use each maneuver once.


Air Gun Master [Racial][Style]
Through special breath training, the Kirby has learned how to get the more use out of its Air Gun.
Prerequisites: Must be a Kirby. Ability Focus (Air Gun).
Benefit: This Feat grants the ability to perform three special uses of the Air Gun.
Cutting Winds: when using this technique, the Kirby may choose to change the damage type dealt by its Air Gun to either slashing or piercing, instead of its normal bludgeoning.
Big Gust: This ability allows for the Kirby to use its Air Gun to instead mimic the effects of a Gust of Wind. The save DC is the same as for the normal use of Air Gun.
Rushing Wind: The Kirby sends all of its breath at one enemy, pushing it back. This use of the ability can only target one enemy and cannot target an enemy beyond half the normal range of the Kirby’s Air Gun, or that has cover. This is resolved as a Bull Rush except that the Kirby uses its effective size from Form of Gum and Taffy and its Constitution modifier instead of Strength. The Kirby also gets a +2 bonus as the force of the Air Gun is effectively charging. Airborn creatures are treated as being one size category smaller for this check. A target of this is always moved the maximum distance possible, but cannot be moved further than twice the normal maximum range of the Kirby’s Air Gun.

Air Gun Specialist [Racial]
Through special breath training, the Kirby has learned how to put its all into its Air Gun.
Prerequisites: Must be a Kirby. Ability Focus (Air Gun), Air Gun Master.
Benefit: This feat improves the Kirby's Air Gun to deal more damage and be able to be performed more quickly. The damage of the Air Gun is increased by the Kirby's Constitution modifier, and the save DC against the Air Gun increases by 1. Additionally, the Air Gun can be performed as a Move action, though this does not affect the action requirements of any other ability (such as Star Shot).


Mystic Inhale [Racial]
The Kirby has learned how to suck the magic right out of things.
Prerequisites: Must be a Kirby. Must be capable of using Inhale.
Benefit: This feat allows the Kirby to use its Inhale ability to remove the magic from things. When using Inhale, the Kirby may choose to draw in the magical energies from around it. This is treated as an Area Dispel in a 30-foot cone. The use of this feat is a Supernatural ability, and has an effective caster level equal to the Kirby’s HD.
Using this version of Inhale is a full-round action, and does not grant the Full of Air status.

Wonderful Engulfment [Racial]
You have learned how to keep creatures you normally couldn't contained by your Engulf, as well as storing objects in yourself.
Prerequisites: Must be a Kirby. Must be capable of using Engulf.
Benefit: With this feat, the Kirby may use its Engulf to hold inanimate objects in its “mouth”. This still has all of the limits as if the Kirby were carrying the object. Unlike Engulfing a creature, this does not affect the Kirby's size, or ability to use Blimp (though move speed may be affected due to load weight). Kirby's usually use this to set up Star Shot.
This feat also allows a Kirby to Engulf an adjacent inanimate object or willing creature as a swift action. As well as using Engulf on objects that are drawn toward the Kirby with the use of Inhale Enemy.
Additionally, the Kirby has learned to focus its anatomy in such a way as to more effectively constrict its enemies.The Engulfed creature must make a save or be Dazed, instead of being Paralyzed. Creatures that are immune to effects from Fortitude saves must make a Will save (DC = 10 + ½ of the Kirby's HD + the Kirby's Con Mod). Otherwise, the creature makes the save as a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + ½ of the Kirby's HD + the Kirby's Con Mod).

Mundane Items of the Land of Dreams
Foreign Mint Leaf:
This relatively uncommon plant seems to grow in all areas of existence, except in the country of the Land of Dreams.
When specially prepared (requiring a Craft (Alchemy) check DC 16 or a Proffesion (cooking) check DC 22), and then eaten it grants a Kirby the Full of Air status for one minute. When under the influence of this herb, actions that normally end Full of Air do not.
Cost:   750 stars per dose.

Native Yam:
This tuber is a special variety that only grows in the Land of Dreams. When specially prepared (requiring a Craft (Alchemy) check DC 23 or a Proffesion (cooking) check DC 29), and then eaten it grants a Kirby the Full of Air status for one minute. When under the influence of this plant, actions that normally end Full of Air do not. Additionally, it allow for the use of the Air Gun and Star Shot abilities as move actions, however, every use of one of these abilities reduces the duration of the effect by one round.
Cost:   2,000 stars per dose, where available.

Spicy Curry:
This amazing concoction is made of special rice’s, peppers and potato’s from around the Land of Dreams. Creation of this dish requires a Proffesion (cooking) check DC 34. When eaten by a Kirby, it infuses their Air Gun and Star Shot with fiery power. For the next minute, any use of Air Gun deals an extra 50% damage. This extra damage is fire damage, instead of bludgeoning. The flower of the curry plant use to make this dish is also known appear in Kremella, and has been used to grant the Jumpmen fire-based abilities as well. It is unknown why these two races react to this plant the way they do, or why the Kirbys must specially prepare it with particular types of rice’s to benefit from it.
Cost:   5,000 stars per dose, where available.
