continue down the path of self-mutilation. Starting at 1st level, the abomination
takes a -2 penalty on all charisma-based checks (except Use Magic Device and
Intimidate) and gains a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks against living creatures for
every Mutilation he gains.
Flesh Barrier (Ex): By draping his body in the carrion of his fallen enemies, the
abomination lumbers around coated in a layer of the dead which may shield him
from the full impact of physical harm. Starting at 1st level the abomination gains a
+1 bonus to armor class. This bonus increases every three levels thereafter (+2 at
4th, +3 at 7th, +4 at 10th).
Mutilation: At 1st level and every other level thereafter, the abomination chooses
one of the following mutilations to add to his body:
Bloated Body (Ex): The body of the abomination swells from either infection or the
sheer mass of flesh he acquired from cannibalizing corpses. The abomination's size
increases by one size category to a maximum of Large sized. This mutilation can be
selected a second time starting at 7th level to increase its size category to Huge
sized. These size increases do not stack with magical size increasing effects.
Gaping Maw (Ex): The abomination's mouth opens wide and unhinging his jaw, he
latches onto his prey and consumes it whole. The abomination may now devour a
creature equal to his own size category when he decides to use the Swallow Whole
ability. His stomach capacity doubles (which allows one creature of his own size
category). The acid damage dealt to creatures inside his stomach is also increased
to 1d8 per abomination class level. This mutilation may only be selected once the
abomination gains the Swallow Whole feature.
Reprehensible Stench (Ex): The abomination releases a foul-scented cloud of
decaying matter, potentially sickening those in an area around him. As a standard
action, the abomination can project a poison cloud in a 10 foot radius that remains
centered on him for 10 minutes. Any living, breathing creature inside the poison
cloud must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Con) or become
sickened. If a creature fails its first saving throw and is still inside the poison cloud
during the next round, the creature must make another Fortitude saving throw or
become nauseated as well. Each round the creature may make Fortitude saving
throws to remove the sickened and nauseated conditions. When a creature makes a
single successful saving throw against an abomination's reprehensible stench, it
cannot be affected by the same abomination's reprehensible stench for 24 hours.
Shed Flesh (Ex): Once per day, an abomination may peel off the diseased excess
layers of skin, rotting flesh, and cadaver in an explosive manner, coating the
surrounding area in fetid waste and at the same time relieving him of unwanted
weight, disease and infection. As a standard action, the abomination can shed
excess flesh in order to remove any current temporary ability score loss and energy
drains such as ability drain, ability burn, and negative levels. If he activates this
ability during a grapple, he may immediately make a grapple check with a bonus
equal to his abomination class level to escape the grapple. Any creatures within 10
feet or an abomination using this ability must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10
+ 1/2 HD + Abomination's Constitution modifier) or become shaken for one round.
Gruesome Appendage (Ex): The abomination, through a rather grotesque and
barbaric process, removed an arm extension from a living creature and sewed the
appendage onto his own body. The abomination gains a fully functional extra arm. It
can be placed wherever the abomination decides to place it (this has no mechanical
game effect). This mutilation can be taken a second time starting at 5th level.
Fortification (Ex): As the layers of flesh and cadaver builds up upon the
abomination's own body, it becomes increasingly hard to strike at the vital areas,
covered by multiple layers of varying origin. At 2nd level, the abomination gains a
25% chance to avoid the extra damage granted by an attacker's sneak attack or
critical hit like the light fortification armor ability. This chance increases to 50% at
5th level, 75% at 8th level, and 100% at 10th level.
Master of the Flesh (Ex): At 2nd level, the abomination allows the diseases and
toxins that are present in the flesh he wears to battle against foreign infections. He
gains immunity to disease and poison of both a mundane and magical nature.
Improved Grab (Ex): At 4th level an abomination gains the Improved Grab feature
with his bite attacks.
So Hungry... (Ex): At 4th level an abomination can attempt to completely consume
the creature he is biting, forcing it down his gullet and digesting it whilst it still lives.
He may now Swallow Whole his opponents. After being swallowed, the creature is
dealt his bite damage plus an additional 2d8 acid damage from his corrosive
stomach acid. To escape his stomach, the creature must use a light piercing or
slashing weapon to deal (Abomination's class level + 2 x Constitution modifier)
damage to his throat or stomach lining, which has an AC equal to 10 + the
abomination's Constitution modifier + 1/2 the abomination's natural armor bonus.
His stomach has room for one creature that is one size category smaller than him,
two creatures that are two size categories smaller, four creatures that are three size
categories smaller, etc. Any creature that is killed inside his stomach immediately
counts as being Cannibalized.
Meat Hook (Ex): At 6th level an abomination can fire a barbed hook that is strung
along a 30 ft. length of intestines. As a standard action, the abomination makes a
ranged touch attack against a target within 30 ft. If he hits, the target takes 1d6
damage per abomination level and must make an opposed strength check against
the abomination. The the target fails the strength check, it is moved adjacent to the
abomination and the abomination can make a free trip attempt against the target.
The intestines attached to the meat hook have a hardness of 1/3 the abomination's
class level and hitpoints of 1/2 the abomination's class level. It takes the
abomination 1 hour and a fresh corpse to rebuild its meat hook. The meat hook may
be concealed inside the abomination's stomach as a full-round action which does
not provoke an attack of opportunity, the abomination gains a +10 to this sleight of
hand check.
Massive Bulk (Ex): At 8th level, the abomination can use its mountainous bulk to
absorb attacks. Against any spell or ability that requires a Reflex saving throw, he
can make a Fortitude saving throw instead.
Living Dead (Ex): At 10th level, the abomination has become a monstrous fusion of
undeath and organic flesh. He is treated as Undead for spells and effects, with a
turn resistance of half his abomination class level. He gains the following traits:
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns,
and morale effects).
Immunity to sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, and death effects.
Not subject to nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune to fatigue
and exhaustion effects.
Epic Bonus Feats: The epic abomination gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of
epic abomination bonus feats) every three levels after 20th.
Epic Abomination Bonus Feat List: Armor Skin, Damage Reduction, Devastating
Critical, Dire Charge, Energy Resistance, Epic Endurance, Epic Leadership, Epic
Prowess, Epic Toughness, Epic Weapon Focus, Improved Whirlwind Attack,
Legendary Wrestler, Overwhelming Critical, Penetrate Damage Reduction, Perfect
Two-Weapon Fighting, Spellcasting Harrier, Two-Weapon Rend, Uncanny Accuracy.
[edit] Campaign Information
[edit] Playing an Abomination
Combat: Abominations can be used to lock down and disable enemies. They have
several options including their reprehensible stench, swallow whole, and meat hook
to disable enemies.
Advancement: Abominations do best with melee-based prestige classes such as
Frenzied BerserkerCW.
Resources: Abominations have no friendly organizations. Sometimes they have the
support of a master, but that is the most help they will ever get.
[edit] Abominations in the World
Human flesh tastes twice as good when the heart is still actively pumping
the blood.
Abominations have no proper place in the world that they could ever call home. It is
hard to justify accepting a creature that will eat members of any intelligent race
including its own. Some people will be able to direct an abomination's hunger
toward a particular goal. When that goal is complete though, it usually becomes
wise for those people to keep their distance from the creature. Some abominations
are able to find groups of murderous creatures that will accept them, but few stay
for very long.
NPC Reactions: Most NPCs will run away. Abominations like to eat people, so this
course of action is pretty logical. Some NPCs take it upon themselves to hunt down
abominations; most end up becoming dessert.
[edit] Abomination Lore
Characters with ranks in knowledge (religion) can research abominations to learn
more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the
following, including information from lower DCs.
