Bioweapon [Xenotheric]

By altering your own genetic structure, you have gained a powerful special attack.

Prerequisite

Con 13 (+4 for every subsequent instance of this feat). The same prerequisites apply to Intelligence if the desired bioweapon is psionic.

Benefit

You gain a special biological weapon. Bioweapons can originate from any predetermined part of your body, such as the mouth, a limb or some other extremity or organ. Most bioweapons are offensive extraordinary abilities, although a certain few are psionic in nature.

Bioweapons require no attack rolls, but they are projected in either a 20-foot line or a 10-foot cone. The range of the bioweapon increases by 10 feet (line) or 5 feet (cone) for every 5 HD you have. Using a bioweapon is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Bioweapons have no cooldown time.

Damage dealing bioweapons are measured in damage dice (dX), starting out at 3dX at 1 HD, and increasing by dX at every odd HD after the first. (4dX at 3rd, 5dX at 5th, to a maximum of 12dX at 19th). The particular damage die type for any such bioweapon is listed between parentheses in the effect column in the table below.

A bioweapon save DC is Constitution-based if extraordinary, or Intelligence-based if psionic.
