Bioweapon [Xenotheric]
By altering your own genetic structure, you have gained a powerful special attack.
Prerequisite
Con 13 (+4 for every subsequent instance of this feat). The same prerequisites apply to Intelligence if the desired bioweapon is psionic.
Benefit
You gain a special biological weapon. 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. Bioweapons have no cooldown time.
Damage dealing bioweapons are measured in damage dice (dX), starting out at 3dX at 1 HD, and increasing by dX at every odd 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 Constitution-based if extraordinary, or Intelligence-based if psionic.
| Bioweapon | Type | Area | Effect | |

Lingering Damage: Bioweapons with this trait deal damage equal to half the bioweapon's base damage for a specified number of subsequent rounds. Lingering damage does not stack; it overlaps. Any additional rounds of lingering damage incurred through a recent use of the bioweapon are added to the existing rounds of lingering damage due to the affected creature.
Special
This feat may be taken multiple times. Every time it is taken, a different bioweapon is chosen from the table.
