Shroud-Energy Lifeform

Cosmodogs are extremely resistant to physical damage, other sources of damage bypass their damage reduction however.

1) Damage Reduction: Physical 5/-

Cosmodogs can make a fortitude check with a DC of 10 + Potential damage dealt to attempt to from an incorporeal energy barrier around themselves in response to a physical attack. Any physical attacks striking a cosmodog in this state have their damage reduced to 1. Failing this save the damage is merely reduced by 5. On critical saves the Energy barrier can repulse an enemy back into the square behind them. Activating the Strengthened damage reduction consumes a Metamagic charge, but only when the save is successful.

2) Cosmodog wound points are considered control points when being drained, but are only drained after all their control is depleted. Cosmodog Control points are considered woundpoints when they are critically damaged. when hitting below 0 HP their control is drained until 0, they then will start dropping into negative woundpoints until they expire at -Con score. 

3) Cosmodog may use their wound points as control when casting Psionic techniques.

4) Shroudlungs

Cosmodogs still breathe and possess lungs however they can use the shroud to particle convert anything to oxygen, allowing them to explore all sorts of strange environs.

A cosmodog can survive in the frozen vacuum of space for approximately 60 to 80 minutes, usually losing consciousness in half that time.

5) Allows further Shroud-based Psionic abilities.

6) Unusual reactions to Psionic Substances will slowly appear below this point.

Natural Telekinetic

When Alone they are P0 [Force Sensitive]

Cosmodogs are treated as being constantly affected by the spell true seeing as a magical ability. This feature causes their eyes to emit a minor glow.

They are also immune to the effects of true seeing and are not detected when invisible, being hidden by an illusion, etc.

All cosmodogs possess Psionic constructs that they carry around with them. 

They act as a focus to use the powers they have sealed away within themselves. 

This item can be removed but it can also be destroyed and recreated.

Creates a Portal between two points. - Needs to be anchored within an existing framework [like a doorway] on one end. The larger the opening the higher the energy cost | The larger the distance the higher the energy cost. Needs to consume Metamagic charges to allow additional travelers.

 Foci Is required for this ability to work.

All Cosmodogs can shape shift. They have three forms: a feral form, a half dog/half-human (in which all their tails are visible), and a human[alien] form, which can look however the Cosmodog wishes, but their foci is always visible at some point regardless of which form they are in. After Sealing powers or entities, they can gain additional shapes depending on what has been consumed.

1d4 Natural claw attack. Damage type is Psionic However.

Pounce

• When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can follow with a full attack—including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability.

Rake

• A creature with this special attack gains extra natural attacks when it grapples its foe. Normally, a creature can attack with only one of its natural weapons while grappling, but a creature with the rake ability usually gains two additional claw attacks that it can use only against a grappled foe. Rake attacks are not subject to the usual -4 penalty for attacking with a natural weapon in a grapple. A creature with the rake ability must begin its turn grappling to use its rake—it can’t begin a grapple and rake in the same turn.

As a Cosmodog performs notable or extraordinary accomplishments (these terms are defined by the DM), the Cosmodog gains an extra tail, to a maximum of nine tails (eight additional tails may be gained). Each tail adds a +1 inherent bonus to the Cosmodog's Charisma, and +1 Yin,Yang and Sonic Resistance per Tail after the first.

If the Tails have been lost they will regenerate in

• 3 months(Lv 1-15)      

• 2 Months(lv 16-30)

• 1 Month (lv 31-45)       

• 1 day per level after 45

Their tails are similar to Protoss Psicords, Severing them will disable most of their shroud abilities.
