{%if aquatic == {ON}%}Aquatic: Being an aquatic type of creature, you are an expert at swimming, moving up to a base speed equal to your ground speed. You are also, of course, able to breathe underwater considering the area is reasonably oxygenated. You also don’t suffer the typical penalties that come with being submerged.{%end%}

{%if olfactory == {ON}%}Olfactory: You are able to pinpoint someone or something’s location using your sense of smell, up to a range equal to your Sense’s, provided nothing is interfering with it. You are also able to discern who or what has either been or passed through a certain location within 24 hours. Being very sensitive to smells, you take a -10 penalty on Resistance checks pinned against scent effects.{%end%}

{%if echolocation == {ON}%}Echolocation: You are able to pinpoint someone or something’s location using your echolocation senses, up to a range equal to your Sense’s, provided nothing is interfering with it. Being very sensitive to sounds, you take a -10 penalty on Resistance checks pinned against sonar effects.{%end%}

{%if speedy == {ON}%}Speedy: You have an additional 40ft. of base Movement. Your speed seems oppresive to those that can't outrun you. {%end%}

{%if flight == {ON}%}Winged/Flight: Allows you to fly at a base speed of 20 + 10ft. per Physique.{%end%}

{%if texterior == {ON}%}Tough Exterior: Your unnaturally tough exterior reduces Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning damage by 4.{%end%}

{%if sticky == {ON}%}Sticky Extremities: Having sticky palms and feet allow you to climb up walls and other tricky surfaces (at your base Movement), as well as granting your grapple attempts a +5 bonus on their rolls.{%end%}

{%if longreach == {ON}%}Long Reach: Your Melee Attacks’ Reach is 10ft. (2 squares/hexes away).{%end%}

{%if poisonous == {ON}%}Poisonous: Your blood is poisonous, posing a threat to those who might come in contact with it. Attacks that draw blood from you have a 20% chance to land on adjacent targets, prompting a Resistance saving throw against your Constitution + 10 and lasting 2d4 turns if not successfully resisted. Also, your skin is poisonous as well, prompting the same saving throw when coming into direct contact with it.{%end%}

{%if venomous == {ON}%}Venomous: Your attacks have a chance to poison the target if it is successful. The DC pinned against the target’s resistance is equal to that of the successful Attack Roll, a higher number representing a more successful transmission of the venom. The poison remains in the victim’s body for 2d4 turns.{%end%}

{%if toppler == {ON}%}Toppler: You possess physical parts that can be used to easily trip your targets, granting you +3 on all Trip attempts.{%end%}

{%if pvocals == {ON}%}Powerful Vocals: Roars, screeches, or howls are truly powerful when hailing from you. Your sonorous voice can be heard from quite afar when applied at max volume. Also, Techniques that use your vocals benefit from a +3 both on Attack Rolls and Saving Throw related matters.{%end%}

{%if rough == {ON}%}Rough Exterior: The surface of your body contains features which will damage those making direct, physical contact with it for 1d4 damage. The damage is counted as either Piercing or Slashing, chosen by player upon designing their creature.{%end%}

{%if fur == {ON}%}Thick Fur: Your real body’s thick fur provides thermoregulation advantages that keep you warm in colder environments and keeps solar heat from directly making contact with your skin in more sunny locations. Damage related to heat/fire or ice/cold is always reduced by 2 for each distinct source or attack that affects you. Additionally, you benefit from a +5 on all rolls performed to resist the consequences of thermal effects.{%end%}

{%if frightening == {ON}%}Frightening Appearance: Your true appearance is a thing of nightmares. Average humans and creatures flee or become paralyzed upon seeing you. Cunning checks used to intimidate or frighten others benefit from a +5 to their result.{%end%}

{%if slimy == {ON}%}Slimy Exterior: Your real body’s slimy exterior makes it difficult to grapple you, those attempting to do so suffering from a -5 penalty. The residue you produce can also cause others to trip easily, while being a convenient method of sliding around for you.{%end%}

{%if charm == {ON}%}Mystical Charm: You have an unusually alluring aura. Average humanoids feel compelled to listen to your words and often come to your aid. Cunning checks on those that might not be as inclined benefit from a +5 bonus.{%end%}

{%if skeletal == {ON}%}Morphing Skeletal System: You have domain over your skeletal structure. Aside from being able to alter said structure, and by consequence, your general form, you can also grow, and likewise, retract any of your bones by up to 3ft.{%end%}

{%if adaptive == {ON}%}Adaptive Skin: Your skin reacts to being afflicted by damage from different sources, granting you 3 damage resistance to threats that have the same damage type as the last one sustained.{%end%}

{%if vampirism == {ON}%}Vampirism: Your attacks restore your health by an amount equal to the damage dealt.{%end%}

{%if phantom == {ON}%}Phantom: Your Evasion consists of turning intangible for a moment, which allows it to be performed even when immobilized (but not Stunned), and it does not suffer the penalties of an Armor’s Weight Class. Likewise, you are able to escape any form of binds and grapples with the use of a Standard Action.{%end%}

{%if projectiles == {ON}%}Natural Projectiles: Your unarmed attacks are ranged, physical attacks rather than a melee strikes, utilizing Sensory rather than Physique for their attack formula. Your Yokai Special Attack, too, will be a projectile on top of benefiting from the a chosen physical damage type.{%end%}

{% rg_num = {1d12+5} %}
