Possessed

You are possessed by an undead spirit, which causes you to become hurt by effect which affects undead, count as another alignment when disadvantageous and will attempt to take your body for itself.

Prerequisite: Must be living

Effect: You have a dangerous and often hostile undead spirit or spirits sharing your body. Choose an alignment with at least one extreme different than yours, by example a neutral good character could choose neutral evil, lawful evil or chaotic evil. You count as being of that alignment and as of the undead type whenever doing so would be disadvantageous. An effects which only damage undead does non-lethal damage to you and effects which outright destroys undead instead renders you staggered for 1 round. You are still healed and damaged by either positive or negative energy as normal.

If you are very damaged the spirit will attempt to wrestle control of your body, causing you to become confused for as long as your hit point is equal to your ECL or less and in a stressful situation. Additionally whenever you become confused if you roll 'act normally' you instead act according to the wishes of the spirit, changing your alignment and behavior for the duration of the effect. You still retain control over the character.

Benefit: Any bonus feat for which you meet the prerequisites.

Special: If your alignment ever changes to match the spirits, it causes influences over you to grow and you take a -2 penalty on concentration and initiative check. The GM may allow situations where the character becomes possessed, changing her alignment and behavior to the spirit.
