Class Features

All of the following are class features of The Terror of the Sand.

Weapon & Armor Proficiency: Terror of the Sand is proficient with all simple weapons. He is proficient with light armor.

Insomnia: Terror of the Sand cannot sleep or Shukaku will be revived. Instead, The Terror of the Sand gains the normal benefits of sleeping when he meditates for 4 hours.

Chakra (Ex): The Terror of the Sand gains a number of chakra points equal to his Constitution modifier and Wisdom Modifier added together at each level. These points stack at each level. For example, The Terror of the Sand is a level 2 Terror of the Sand with 18 Con and 16 Wis. He currently has 14 chakra points, and gains a level. He gains another 7 chakra points, bringing his total chakra pool to 21 points. The reason it's Con and Wis is because chakra is made from physical and spiritual focus. Should The Terror of the Sand need more chakra, he may deal 2 points of temporary Con and Wis damage to himself to gain an amount of chakra equal to one-fourth his normal chakra. This can be used multiple times, even if it would drop The Terror of the Sand's Constitution score to 0. If this happens, The Terror of the Sand does NOT die instantly, but instead dies when he runs out of chakra. If The Terror of the Sand runs out of chakra he cannot use any of his sand abilities. The Terror of the Sand gets his chakra back when he meditates.

Chakra Accumulation (Su): Terror of the Sand can accumulate chakra at one point in his body to gain amazing gripping power. This can be used to walk on walls, ceilings, otherwise impassable terrain, or to gain a +10 bonus to grapple checks or to gain double his speed or gain the ability to walk/stand on water. This ability uses 2 Chakra per round or 1 chakra per minute out of combat. While using this ability in combat, The Terror of the Sand must make a DC 15 concentration check for each round the ability is active.

Evasion (Ex): At 3rd level or higher, if The Terror of the Sand makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if The Terror of the Sand is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Terror of the Sand does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Sand armor (Ex): Terror of the Sand covers his skin with a layer of sand as a precautionary defensive measure The Terror of the Sand gains damage reduction 10/- but every 10 damage prevented drains 1 Chakra.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 5th level, The Terror of the Sand can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Terror of the Sand of 9th level or higher can no longer be flanked. This defence denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does.

Sand Control (Su):

Due to having Shukaku sealed within him, The Terror of the Sand has control over sand. The Terror of the Sand always carries sand with him in a calabash-shaped gourd on his back, which is in fact also made of compacted sand, to attack his opponents. This counts as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30ft + 5ft/level and dealing The Terror of the Sand’s “Sand Damage”. If this hits, the sand may start a grapple as a free action with +(Terror of the Sand’s Wis modifier and Character level) to the grapple. If it succeeds on the grapple, then The Terror of the Sand may use Desert coffin as a free action. When The Terror of the Sand is attacked, a shield of sand automatically blocks the attacks; this shield gives The Terror of the Sand Damage Reduction 5/-.

Shukaku

Shukaku points : Terror of the Sand gains 4 Shukaku points per level which are used only for the ability Half Shukaku revival. You gain these points back when you meditate.

Half Shukaku revival (Su): Sand covers The Terror of the Sand’s body, forming a sand raccoon over the top of The Terror of the Sand’s body. You also gain a tail made of sand, and your mind-set changes so that you relish combat and you can’t cast spells, even from magic items. You lose 2 Shukaku points a round and gain the following abilities:

You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, a +4 natural armor bonus to AC, a +5 competence bonus on Fortitude saves, and proficiency with No weapons. Your base attack bonus equals your character level (which may give you multiple attacks). You also gain 2 claw attacks doing 2d6 and a tail attack with a -2 attack doing 1d10 which have a reach of 10ft.

You gain the abilities Air Blast, Sand Shuriken, Infinite Sand Gust Storm and Shukaku’s sand armor.
