Tentacle (Discovery): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:46, 24 November 2019

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Alchemist 6

Benefit: The alchemist gains a prehensile, arm-length tentacle somewhere on their body. The tentacle is fully under their control and cannot be concealed except with magic or bulky clothing. The presence of a tentacle is almost always the source of ice-breaking conversations, various expressions of dismay, and many other interesting opportunities for social interaction.

A tentacle is never strong or coordinated enough to wield a weapon or a shield, but it is dexterous enough to hold items ready for one of the alchemist's 'normal' arms to use. For example, it could allow the alchemist to use one hand to wield a weapon, the other hand to throw a bomb, and the tentacle to hold a potion ready for use.

Pulling an item held in the tentacle into a hand that is otherwise empty is a free action.

-'''Benefit''': The alchemist gains a prehensile, arm-length tentacle on his body. The tentacle is fully under his control and cannot be concealed except with magic or bulky clothing. While affected by mutagen, the tentacle can be used to make a secondary natural attack, dealing 1d4 damage plus half the alchemist's strength modifier. Secondary natural attacks, as always, are made at BAB - 5. The tentacle can manipulate or hold items as well as the alchemist’s original arms can (for example, allowing the alchemist to use one hand to wield a weapon, the tentacle to hold a potion, and the third hand to throw a bomb). Unlike an arm, the tentacle has no magic item slots.
