* Strange Body Language ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]): He moves differently than his form suggests, especially in combat. He is treated as nonhumanoid for the purposes of resolving [[SRD:Feint|Feint]] attempts (attackers suffer a −4 penalty to their attempt). Unfortunately, his odd movements cause him to suffer a −4 penalty on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]] skill checks.

* Haunting Flashbacks ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]): From time to time, he encounters something that perplexes his senses as if he were overwhelmed by déja vu. At the start of every encounter, before he takes an action, there is a 25% chance that he notices something that triggers a recollection to some vague and hazy lost or stolen memory. If this happens, he can take no action (other than to defend himself) for 1 round and thereafter takes a −1 morale penalty on all [[SRD:Attack Roll|attacks]], [[SRD:Saving Throw|saves]], [[SRD:Using Skills#Ability Checks|ability checks]] and [[SRD:Using Skills#Skill Checks|skill checks]] until he snaps out of it by concentrating as a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]].

* Self-Reincarnate ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]): A candothist can return from death without outside magical aid. When a candothist dies and rests in the afterlife for 8 hours, he can choose to return to his flesh up to 1 day/level later at the cost of 500 EXP per HD. If he is unable or unwilling to part with 500 EXP per HD, he instead loses 2 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]. He may later restore this [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] loss by paying 500 EXP per his current HD in a ritual that lasts 8 hours as he rests. Regardless of his "payment", he additionally takes 2 points of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|burn]] which can only be healed naturally. This [[SRD:Ability Burn|ability burn]] never reduces his [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] below 1, nor does the [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] loss lower his HP below 1 per HD. Upon using this ability, he returns to his body, which is restored to life and at 1 HP. If he chooses to use this ability, the player must roll on the [[#Table: Morphic Reincarnation|Morphic Reincarnation]] chart below. If his body was destroyed (reduced to less than half its original weight), he cannot return to life with this ability. See additional restrictions and notes under [[#The Reincarnation Process|The Reincarnation Process]] below.

* If his body is petrified. A candothist turned to stone is not dead. However, this situation grants him the option of allowing his soul to depart, which does kill him. This choice must be made at the moment of petrification. If his body is ever turned back to flesh, he may return to it as normal.
