Consume (Ex) If an eremite symbiont begins its turn
grappling a foe, it can make a bite attack against that
foe as a swift action and applies 1.5 times its Strength
modifier to damage inflicted with a successful bite
Resurrection Link (Su) If an eremite symbiont or its
bonded wizard is slain, the slain creature is immediately
restored to life This causes the living member of the
bond to transfer half its current hit points to the creature
that was restored to life (For example, if a symbiont is
slain while its attached wizard still has 50 hit points, the
symbiont is restored to life with 25 hit points and the
wizard’s hit point total is reduced to 25 hit points.) If the
hit point total is not an even number, the donor retains
the additional hit point when they are halved If both
symbiont and wizard are slain simultaneously by a single
source of damage, then both die If a symbiont or wizard
is slain when the other half possesses only one hit point,
both die
Share Health (Su) As an immediate action, an eremite
symbiont or its linked wizard can transfer up to half its
current hit points to the other creature
Symbiotic Link (Ex) An eremite symbiont can be attached
to a wizard via a symbiotic link The ritual to bond an eremite symbiont to a wizard is long, complex, and vile, and once completed cannot be reversed save for on the death of both symbiont and wizard The wizard must be
of a size category at least one step lower than the eremite symbiont (Medium or smaller for the typical symbiont)
Once attached, the wizard is considered to share the eremite symbiont’s space, as if the wizard were mounted
on the symbiont, yet it cannot be removed or forced apart from the symbiont save for by killing both creatures
The wizard loses all movement speeds when it becomes symbiotically attached When an eremite symbiont is attached to an 11th- or higher-level wizard, it gains fast healing 5, a +4 armor bonus to its armor class (this is a force effect) and a +2 enhancement bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls with its natural attacks The wizard to which it is attached gains a +4 armor bonus to his AC (this is a force effect), immunity to disease and poison, and spell resistance equal to the eremite symbiont’s spell resistance Both symbiont and wizard gain the benefits
of the resurrection link and share health abilities The symbiont and wizard can communicate telepathically
Any spell effect that targets a either the wizard or the symbiont automatically targets both creatures in this symbiotic link If a spell effect allows a saving throw
to resist or negate the effect, both the wizard and the symbiont can attempt a saving throw—only one need make the save successfully to resist or negate the effect
An effect that must penetrate spell resistance must penetrate the spell resistance of both the symbiont
Eremite Symbiont
A horrific melding, the creature looks at first glance like a human riding a great winged monster, but the two parts are attached by a grotesque fleshy tube The monster has a gigantic gaping mouth but
no head, curved wings, and only a rudimentary body, tapering off into
a thick prehensile tail.
