Zzithrani Zoanthrope

"The mind and body are malleable."

Zzithrani who seek to unlock the potential of the genetic legacy left to them by the tyranids, as well as the psionic limits of their hive minds, reach an apotheosis among their kin: the zoanthrope, an incredibly adaptable zzith hive led and controlled by an incredibly strong psionic queen.

To qualify for the Zzithrani Zoanthrope prestige class, you must fulfill the following requirements.

Race: Zzithrani.

Special: You must be considered a manifester and a geomancer.

Force Resistances: SR 5 + level, TR 5 + level, DI 5 + level, VI 5 + level.

Abilities: Whatever ability scores were important to the zzithrani's prior classes are important to the zzithrani zoanthrope, as this prestige class is an extension of those classes.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the zzithrani zoanthrope.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Zzithrani zoanthropes gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Manifester Levels: At the levels on the table above, the zzithrani zoanthrope gains new abilities as though he had also gained a level in any one manifester class he belonged to before he added the prestige class.

Geomancer Level: At the levels on the table above, the zzithrani zoanthrope gains new abilities as though he had also gained a level in any one geomancer class he belonged to before he added the prestige class.

Psionic Evolution (Ps/Na): After a night's rest, the zzithrani zoanthrope can choose to reroute some of its psionic power into its component zzith. At the beginning of each day, you can choose to convert your PP into MP, as though a metamorph; 3 PP can be converted into 1 MP. The maximum amount of MP you can gain in this manner is equal to your class level.

You can also convert your latent evolutionary power into raw psionic strength, though doing so requires the sacrifice of zzith. You can choose to sacrifice a mutation you currently possess, gaining PP equal to the MP required for that mutation; if you do, you take damage equal to that amount, as those zzith dedicated to that mutation are drained of their essence by the queen of the hive.

In addition, your natural weapons are considered Psionic-aligned.

Tyranid Legacy (Ps/Na): At third level, the zzithrani zoanthrope has unlocked the dormant genetic code within its zzith, allowing it to undertake psionic-guided evolution. Add zzithrani zoanthrope mutations to your mutation list.

Psionic Zzith (Ps): You have learned how to produce zzith that act as nodes for your psionic powers, enhancing them in some fashion and improving your psionic abilities. The new breeds of zzith you can produce are dependant upon which psionic disciplines you have chosen as a psionic focus.

• Clairsentience: Something.
• Imagiportation: Something.
• Metacreativity: Something.
• Psychokinesis: Something.
• Ratiovitality: Whenever you would regain hit points from fast healing, you can instead choose to regain PP; for every 10 hit points you would have healed, you can instead regain 1 PP. You can convert any amount of hit points from fast healing into PP (thus you can choose to regain some hit points and some PP).
• Telepathy: Something.

Mutations and Evolutions

These abilities are accessible only to a zzithrani zoanthrope who has acquired the tyranid legacy class feature. These mutations are added to the zzithrani's mutation list. All of these abilities are both Natural and Psionic.
