Casting Time 1 free action
Components S
Range personal
Target you
Duration 1 hour (D)

As a standard action, you can target an orbiting ioun stone with the abrupt maneuver of a pilfering hand as a supernatural ability, based on the caster level and spellcasting ability score of this spell's effect. Any ioun stone you successfully pull and don't catch, can enter your orbit or embed itself as you choose, in an ioun slot (if any) of an object you openly possess. Any ioun stone you displace from its slot by doing so, enters your orbit.

The remaining duration of this spell's effect is reduced by 10 minutes following each use of the aforementioned supernatural ability it grants. Multiple instances of this spell's effect upon the same target, become a single effect based on the highest caster level, highest spellcasting ability score and longest remaining duration among them.

GAUNTLET, IOUN (Magic Weapon Alteration)
A magnificent gauntlet featuring six sockets typically distributed behind its knuckles and upon its back side.
Base Item Any +1 (or better) gauntlet lacking ioun slots.
Price +6,000 gp; Slot one hand; Weight no change; CL 12th; Aura strong transmutation
Properties As the base item with six ioun slots. An ioun stone embedded in any such slot, provides its effect to the gauntlet's wearer. As an immediate action, this gauntlet's wearer can snap his or her fingers to pull up to six ioun stones from his or her own orbit and embed them as desired into the gauntlet's ioun slots. Any ioun stones so displaced, return to orbit around that gauntlet's wearer. The gauntlet's wearer can expel any number of stones from its ioun slots at anytime as a free action, back into orbit around him or herself.
Cost +3,000 gp; Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, ioun grasp

UNSEEN SPARE HANDS
School conjuration (creation)
Level bard 2, magus 2, occultist 2, psychic 2, spiritualist 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, summoner/unchained summoner 2, witch 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S; Optional Components M, F (see text)
Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Effect 1d4 unseen spare hands per level
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

Except as detailed above, each spare hand this spell's effect creates is a Tiny unseen servant with an effective Strength score of 2 and the ability to fly (perfect), swim and walk with a base speed of 15 feet that is never modified by encumbrance. Individually, they dissipate upon having taken more than 5 damage from magical area effects.

Optional Focus: A five-digit non-magical masterwork glove or gauntlet befitting a Medium humanoid—is fully repaired as it absorbs the first spare hand this spell's effect creates to become a Tiny Animated Object [masterwork glove or gauntlet] with 6 extra hit points, a Wisdom score of 10, and the ability to fly (perfect), swim and walk with a base speed of 15 feet that is never modified by encumbrance. As part of this spell's effect, that creature obeys you with the behavioral repertoire of both Animated Object and unseen servant combined.

Optional Material Component: 5,000 gp of gems worth at least 100 gp each—gives the aforementioned Tiny Animated Object [masterwork glove or gauntlet] an instantaneous duration and a supernatural fly speed. If you possess the Craft Construct feat, the required value of this component is halved to 2,500 gp and 50 gp respectively.

The following feats might require additional consideration.

INTERCHANGE COMPONENTS (General Feat)
You express components with the gestalt sum of your body and mind.
Prerequisite: Spellcraft 1 rank.
Benefit: Excluding the verbal components of bard spells and related activities, you can use emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components interchangeably, provided doing so by itself does not reduce the number of unique components any particular activity requires. Any activity with a somatic component via this feat is subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Additionally, you can interchange your use of any expensive material component, with one or more alternative items of equal or greater value, provided each one bears significant meaning.

VOLUNTARY COMPONENTS (General Feat)
You can bolster your effects with extra casting components.
Prerequisite: Interchange Components, Spellcraft 1 rank.
Benefit: Excluding components already required of you to do so, you can cast any spell or spell-like ability to include your choice of voluntary emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components. Spells and spell-like abilities with a somatic component via this feat are subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Each voluntary component you add via this feat to your casting of a spell or spell-like ability, increases its effective caster level by 1 with respect to overcoming spell resistance and resisting dispel attempts.

Cacterran Race

Still under construction.

–2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom: Cacterrans are sturdy and wise, but lack physical agility.

• They can deal both bludgeoning and piercing damage with any slam attack or unarmed strike.
• In addition to actual rest and any uses of the Heal skill, a living cacterran exposed to natural sunlight naturally recovers hit points and ability score points (lost to ability damage) as if always resting.

Spine-spit: A living cacterran in true form gains a natural spine-spit attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A spine-spit is a primary natural attack, or a secondary natural attack for those who wield one or more manufactured weapons. Otherwise, a spine-spit functions as a blowgun of its owner's size. A typical cacterran has a spine-spit capacity equal to its Constitution score.

Toxic Spines: A living creature dealt piercing damage from a natural weapon or unarmed strike used by a living cacterran in true form, becomes sickened for 1d4+1 rounds (Fort negates) as a poison effect. The save DC of this effect equals 10 + 1/2 the originator's Hit Dice + the originator's Constitution modifier. Once a creature successfully saves, it becomes immune to the toxic spines of that particular cacterran for 24 hours. Note: Creatures with the vegitatious subtype are immune to this effect. (2 RP)

A typical mycelian has a toxin dose capacity of 6 + its Constitution modifier.
