Cloak of Thorns

**Descriptors**: None

**Class**: Daevic, Kheshig, Nexus, Radiant, Stormbound, Vizier

**Slot**: Neck, Shoulders

**Saving Throw**: Reflex

*Thorny vines cascade across your shoulders like*
*an emerald mantle.*

While this veil is shaped you gain a thorny
cloak capable of launching a spray of magical
thorns as a standard action, dealing 1d10 piercing
damage (Reflex save for half) to all creatures in a
15 ft. cone; the thorns take 1d4 rounds to regrow
and cannot be used during that time.

**Essence:** For each point of essence invested in this veil
the damage dealt increases by 1d10 and the area
of the cone increases by 5 ft. (e.g. going from a
15 ft. cone to a 20 ft. cone).

**Chakra Bind (Shoulders): [D10, K8/11, N10, St10, Vi10]** While this veil is bound to your Shoulders
chakra, the thorny vines comprising the veil
stretch up across your arms and shoulders
forming a set of verdurous wings. You gain a 30
ft. fly speed with Clumsy maneuverability. For
each point of essence invested in this veil, the fly
speed increases by 10 feet. For every 2 points of
essence invested, the fly speed’s maneuverability
increases by one step. In addition, there is no
longer a recharge period after using the cone of
thorns and you can fire a cone as an at-will ability
without the 1d4 round cooldown.

**Chakra Bind (Neck): [D12/16, K14, N14, R12, St16, Vi14]** Binding this veil to your Neck chakra gives
you fine control over the thorny vines shrouding
you, allowing you to wield them as a set of
four secondary natural attacks that deal 1d6
bludgeoning and piercing damage (1d4 Small)
with an 18-20 critical threat range. You may use
your veilweaver level in place of your base attack
bonus to determine your to-hit and other abilities
of this veil. In addition, you gain a climb speed
of 60 ft. + 10 ft. per point of essence invested
in this veil and may even climb on sheer vertical
surfaces or ceilings with ease, though you lose
the use of two of your vine attacks in any round
where you use this climb speed.

## Cloak of Spores [Variant]

**Descriptors:** Poison, Variant

**Class:** Daevic, Nexus, Promethean, Radiant, Stormbound, Vizier

**Slot:** Shoulders, Neck

**Saving Throw:** Fortitude (see text)

*Moss and fungus cascades down your back, constantly emiting a cloud of dense spores that trails you as you move.*

This veil functions as the Cloak of Thorns veil, with the following changes:

The veil fires a cone of spores instead of a cone of thorns. Creatures in the area of this cone must make a Fortitude saving throw or take 1d6 points of damage and gain the sickened condition for 1 round. A successful save halves the damage dealt, and negates the sickened condition. This damage is from a poison effect; it bypasses damage reduction and resistances, but an immunity to poison effects negates the damage.

**Essence:** Each point of essence invested increases the damage of the cone of spores by 1d6 and the duration of the sickened condition it applies by 1 round in addition to increasing the range of the cone.

**Chakra Bind (Shoulders): [D10, N10, P10, St10, Vi10]** The veil produces wings of fungus and spores, rather than thorns, and removes the recharge period of your cone of spores.

**Chakra Bind (Neck): [D12/16, N14, P14, R12, St16, Vi14]** Instead of thorny vines, the spores and fungus of the veil form two massive appendages which you can use to bludgeon your foes. You gain two primary slam attacks that deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage and 1d6 poison damage on a successful hit (1d4 bludgeoning damage for Small creatures, 1d8 for Large) and have a critical threat range of 18-20/x2. Poison damage is not multiplied on a critical hit and ignores damage reduction and resistances, but an immunity to poison negates the damage. You may use your veilweaver level in place of your base attack bonus when using these slam attacks.

While using the climb speed granted by this bind, you can not attack using these slam attacks.

As an immediate action you can force a creature to dodge an attack, granting it +1 dodge bonus to AC against the attack that triggered this ability. This bonus increases by an additional +1 per two points of essence invested in this veil. This ability can be used after the results of an attack have been revealed.
