=====Benefit=====
+
Bioweapons can originate from any predetermined part of your body, such as the mouth, a limb or some other extremity or organ. Most bioweapons are offensive [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary abilities]], although a certain few are [[SRD:Psi-Like Ability|psionic]] in nature.

Most bioweapons are offensive [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary abilities]], although a certain few are [[SRD:Psi-Like Ability|psionic]] in nature.
+
Bioweapons require no attack rolls, but they are projected in either a 20-foot line or a 10-foot cone. The range of the bioweapon increases by 10 feet (line) or 5 feet (cone) for every 5 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] you have. Using a bioweapon is a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] that does not provoke [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]]. If your bioweapon produces a substance like [[SRD:Acid|acid]], gas or poison, you are immune to its effects.

+
Bioweapons draw upon your [[Xenotheric (3.5e Creature Subtype)#Bio-Energy|bio-energy]]. Every use of the bioweapon expends 1 charge.
  
−
Bioweapons have a number of charges equal to 3 plus your [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] modifier. Every use of the bioweapon expends one charge, and charges are regained at a rate of 1 per minute. If you have multiple bioweapons, all of them use the same pool of charges.
+
Bioweapon damage is measured in damage dice (dX), starting out at 2dX at 1 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], becoming 3dX at 2 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], and increasing by +1dX at every odd [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] after 1st. (4dX at 3rd, 5dX at 5th, to a maximum of 12dX at 19th). The particular damage die type for any such bioweapon is listed between parentheses in the 'Damage Type' column in [[#Table: Bioweapons|Table: Bioweapons]].

Damage dealing bioweapons are measured in damage dice (dX), starting out at 3dX at 1 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], and increasing by dX at every odd [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] after the first. (4dX at 3rd, 5dX at 5th, to a maximum of 12dX at 19th). The particular damage die type for any such bioweapon is listed between parentheses in the effect column in the table below.

A bioweapon save DC is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based if [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary]], or [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]]-based if [[SRD:Psi-Like Ability|psionic]]. Psionic bioweapons ignore line of effect and require a [[SRD:Saving Throw#Will|Will]] save for half damage.

'''{{Anchor|Lingering Damage}}:''' A bioweapon with this secondary effect deals damage to an affected creature at the start of every turn equal to half the bioweapon's base damage for a specified number of subsequent [[SRD:Round|rounds]]. Lingering damage does not stack; any additional rounds of lingering damage incurred through a recent use of the bioweapon overlap with any previous rounds remaining. Lingering damage is so persistent that it is treated as normal damage instead of continuous damage for the sake of [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] checks, and healing damage inflicted by a bioweapon with the lingering damage secondary effect requires 2 points of healing for every point of damage inflicted.

Bioweapon [Xenotheric] Prerequisites: Con 13 or Int if the desired bioweapon is psionic (+4 for every subsequent instance of this feat)Benefit: You gain a special biological weapon. See below. Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Every time it is taken, a different bioweapon is chosen from the table.

Bioweapons can originate from any predetermined part of your body, such as the mouth, a limb or some other extremity or organ. Most bioweapons are offensive extraordinary abilities, although a certain few are psionic in nature.

Bioweapons require no attack rolls, but they are projected in either a 20-foot line or a 10-foot cone. The range of the bioweapon increases by 10 feet (line) or 5 feet (cone) for every 5 HD you have. Using a bioweapon is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If your bioweapon produces a substance like acid, gas or poison, you are immune to its effects.

Bioweapons draw upon your bio-energy. Every use of the bioweapon expends 1 charge.

Bioweapon damage is measured in damage dice (dX), starting out at 2dX at 1 HD, becoming 3dX at 2 HD, and increasing by +1dX at every odd HD after 1st. (4dX at 3rd, 5dX at 5th, to a maximum of 12dX at 19th). The particular damage die type for any such bioweapon is listed between parentheses in the 'Damage Type' column in Table: Bioweapons.

A bioweapon save DC is Constitution-based if extraordinary, or Intelligence-based if psionic. Psionic bioweapons ignore line of effect and require a Will save for half damage.

Table: Bioweapons

Bioweapon Type Area Damage Type (dX) Secondary Effects
Acid spray Ex Line Acid (d6) Nauseated1 1 round, sickened 1d3 rounds.
Corrosive gas Ex Cone Acid (d8) Corrosion
Cryonic burst Ex Cone Cold (d8) Slow1 1 round
Electricity bolt Ex Line Electricity (d10) Stunned1 1 round
Flame breath Ex Cone Fire (d8) Burn 1d3 rounds
Mind tremor Ps Cone Untyped (d6) Sickened for 1 round, ignores line of effect
Shooting spines Ex Line Piercing (d6) Poison1 on injury (1d6 Dex/1d6 Dex)
Sound burst Ex Cone Sonic (d6) Deafened1 1d6 rounds
  1. Fortitude negates (DC equals bioweapon's DC).

Burn: A bioweapon with this secondary effect sets fire to combustibles and unattended objects within its area of effect.

Corrosion: A bioweapon with this secondary effect deals double damage against any objects and creatures made of corrodable metals (such as iron golems).
