Perfect Copy Technique Engaged: Itsumi Kurihara
One of the ultimate techniques of Doppelganger's Shadow, allowing you to become a perfect copy of an opponent. As you initiate this maneuver, you immediately become a perfect copy of the target. You become statistically identical to your target, but keeping your own personality and goals. You have a perfect copy of the target's equipment, but any items leaving you immediately vanishes and you do not gain a copy of use-limited items and artifacts.
If the target's CR is higher than your ECL you must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 opponent's CR + their Charisma modifier) if you fail your personality fails to persist and the maneuver only last for 1 round in which you act as if you were confused. Once a creature is affected by Perfect Copy it cannot be affected again for 24 hours.
If you are slain in this form, you revert to your normal form and take damage equal to the damage you took as a perfect copy, possibly killing you. You also takes any ability damage, ability drain, ability burn and non-lethal damage dealt to you, but nothing else persist beyond the transformation. The same process happens once the duration of this maneuver is elapsed. If the copied opponent is slain you also immediately revert to your original form as if the duration had elapsed.
The shadow nature of the copy makes it so any non-instantaneous effects you created immediately cease to be 1 round after the transformation ends. You cannot use wish or similar abilities even if the copied creature is able to.
