You wrench from your subconscious a terrifying visage of deadly hunger and become one with it. You are transformed into a nightmarish version of yourself, complete with an [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]]-sleek skin coating, lashing tentacles, and a fright-inducing countenance. You effectively gain a +10 bonus on [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks, though you retain your basic shape and can continue to use your equipment. This power cannot be used to impersonate someone; while horrible, your form is recognizably your own.

You gain the frightful presence [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary ability]], which takes effect automatically when you charge a foe. Opponents within 30 feet of you that have fewer [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] or levels than you and that witness your charge become [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 5d6 rounds if they fail a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will]] save ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 16 + your [[SRD:Charisma|Cha]] modifier). An opponent that succeeds on the [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] is immune to your frightful presence for 24 hours. Frightful presence is a mind-affecting fear effect.

Your horrific form grants you a [[SRD:Natural Armor Bonus|natural armor bonus]] of +5, damage reduction 5/–, and a +4 bonus to your [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] score. In addition, you gain +10 feet to your land speed as well as a +10 bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] and [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks.

A nest of violently flailing black tentacles sprout from your hair and back. You can make up to four additional attacks with these tentacles in addition to your regular [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]] in each [[SRD:Round|round]] that you take a full attack action. You can make tentacle attacks within the space you normally threaten. If you make your tentacle attacks in addition to you regular [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]], each tentacle attacks at your highest [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] with a –5 penalty. If you forgo all your other attacks, making only tentacle attacks, you make your tentacle attacks at your highest [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] with no penalty. These tentacles deal 2d8 points of damage plus one-half your [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] bonus on each successful strike.

This power functions only while you inhabit your base form (for instance, you can’t be metamorphed or polymorphed into another form, though you can use <s>''[[SRD:Breath of the Black Dragon|breath of the black dragon]]'', </s>''[[SRD:Claws of the Beast|claws of the beast]]'', and ''[[SRD:Bite of the Wolf|bite of the wolf]] ''in conjunction with this power for your regular attacks), and while your mind resides within your own body.

'''[[SRD:Augment|Augment]]:''' For every additional [[SRD:Power Points|power point]] you spend, this power’s duration increases by 2 rounds.
