====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the imago quori.

'''{{Anchor|Fear Mastery}}:''' An imago quori knows fear, for within her lies the stuff of nightmares.  The power ''Primal Fear'' gains the following augmentations: 
*For each additional power point you spend, the duration of this power extends by 1 round, but the manifestation becomes a standard action.
*For 6 additional power points, the shaken ability of this power stacks with other fear effects.

'''{{Anchor|Heart of Terror}}:''' In order to enter and level within the imago quori class, a manifester must perform a ritual to summon a quori spirit into the world.  Doing so involves scribing runes into the ground at night with a crystal focus worth 1000 gold.  After 1 hour of meditation, you and any party members which participate in your ritual are mentally drawn into the crystal where you must defeat a quori spirit in battle (typically a tsucora quori<sup>ECS</sup>).  If anyone in the ritual perishs in battle, they immediately fall out of trance and their mental ability scores take enough damage to reduce them to 1 point, which heals normally.  If the manifester dies, all party members are expelled and the trance ends, but only those who were "killed" take the ability damage.  Victory binds the quori spirit into your crystal shard, which you use as your focus for your Frightful Manifestations.

At each level, you must continue to imbue your crystal shard with your energy and with expensive psychoactive materials worth 1000 gold each level, until a final cost of 10,000 gold spent overall at level 10.  You do not gain the class level benefits until you have spent the pre-requisite gold value upon your crystal.  You qualify for host feats and magic items requiring a connection to quori influence through the act of possessing this class feature.  At 10th level, you pull the heart of terror into your own body, completing your transformation.

If at any point you lose the heart of terror, you may create a new one by repeating the process of capturing a quori spirit and defeating it, and paying half the value of a heart of terror for your level (a level 8 imago quori would have an 8000g value crystal, so you would pay 4000g).

'''{{Anchor|Quori Resistances}} ([[Ex]]):''' An imago quori draws upon the power of your trapped nightmare, gaining a fragment of its resistances.  You have +1 resistance to fear, charm, and sleep effects for every class level you possess.  At 10th level, your resistances become immunities.

'''{{Anchor|Quori Weapons}} ([[Ex]]):''' An imago quori can briefly manifest some of the quori's natural weapons, using them as if they were her own.  As a free action an imago quori can gain two natural weapon attacks on their arms, typically claws, but they may take on any form, from gashing teeth spouting from their palms, to tentacles, to bludgeoning surfaces.  Regardless of the shape of the weapon or damage type they deal, they deal 1d6 + your [[Strength]] modifier in damage (for Medium creatures), and have the ghost touch enhancement which allows the weapons to strike incorporeal and ethereal beings.  You may use your weapons up to 1 round per class level per day.  The duration of the natural weapons need not be consecutive rounds.  At 10th level, your natural weapons may be formed at will, once per round, with no limit to the number of rounds per day..

'''{{Anchor|Frightful Manifestation}} ([[Su]]):''' Starting at 2nd level, once per day you can add the fear discriptor to any power you manifest that has some sort of visual manifestation.  For example, you could apply it to an ''[[SRD:Energy Ray|energy ray]]'', to a ''[[SRD:Astral Construct|astral construct]]'', or to any effect which creates visible illusions, but not to ''[[SRD:Psionic Charm|psionic charm]]'', since that power does not directly create any visual effect.  Creatures targeted by the power modified by fearful manifestation must make a [[Will]] save (DC 10 + your class level + [[Charisma]] modifier), or become shaken for 1d4 rounds; this is in addition to any other effects the spell might have.
At 4th level and every two levels afterward, you may use this power an additional time per day.

'''{{Anchor|Intimidating Presence}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 2nd level, your very presence seems to unnerve even the strongest souls.  You gain 1/2 your class level as a bonus to Intimidate checks.

'''{{Anchor|Ranged Intimidation}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 3rd level you need not even be near your opponent to demoralize them in combat.  You may make an intimidate check to any target within 30 feet.

'''{{Anchor|Telepathy}} ([[Su]]):''' At 3rd level your mind can communicate with others nearby.  As long as you are psionically focused, you gain telepathy out to 30 feet.  At level 6, your telepathy expands out to 60 feet, and at 10th level your telepathy expands out to 100 feet.

'''{{Anchor|See In Darkness}} ([[Su]]):''' At 4th level, no darkness, magical or mundane, stops your vision.  As long as you are psionically focused, you may see in any darkness, even that created by a ''[[SRD:Deeper Darkness|deeper darkness]]'' spell.

'''{{Anchor|Demi-Quori Apothesis}}:''' At 5th level, part of your soul is bound with the quori spirit, and their properties begin to meld.  The imago quori gains acid, cold, and fire resistance 5, and power resistance 5 + your HD.  The imago gains the planetouched subtype, and may be affected by spells that affect extraplanar outsiders as well as their original type, including ''[[SRD:Banishment|banishment]]''.  The change usually comes with a physical alteration, some abnormality such as disturbing eyes, multiple fingers, discolored skin, or other terrible aspects.  They have no in game effect, though may disturb others if not hidden from view.

'''{{Anchor|Invade Dreams}} ([[Ps]]):''' At 6th level, an imago quori may haunt the dreams of others.  Once per day they may send either a ''[[SRD:Dream|dream]]'' or ''[[SRD:Nightmare|nightmare]]'' (as the spell) to a specified creature elsewhere.  When appearing in a ''[[SRD:Dream|dream]]'', an imago quori can assume an alternate form, as if using ''[[SRD:Alter Self|alter self]]''.  The caster level for this ability equals the character's HD, and the save DC for the ''[[SRD:Nightmare|nightmare]]'' version of this ability is [[Charisma]]-based.

'''{{Anchor|Dream Travel}} ([[Ps]]):''' At 7th level, an imago quori may manifest ''[[SRD:Dream Travel|dream travel]]'' as a psi-like ability once per [[charisma]] modifier per day (minimum 1).

'''{{Anchor|A Thousand Faces}} ([[Su]]):''' At 8th level an imago quori's very substance has become as amorphous as the stuff dreams are made of.  She gains the ability to change her appearance at will, as if using the ''[[SRD:Disguise Self|disguise self]]'' spell, but only while in her normal form.  This affects the imago quori's body but not her possessions.  It is not an illusory effect, but a minor physical alteration of the imago quori's appearance, within the limits described for the spell.

'''{{Anchor|Rapid Intimidation}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 8th level you only need send a fierce glare or a sharp word of rebuke to frighten others.  You may make an intimidate check to demoralize as a move action.

'''{{Anchor|Quori Apothesis}}:''' At 10th level, you have completed your syncronization with the quori spirit, overwriting its personality utterly and consuming its essence into you.  As you complete your Heart of Terror, you absorb the crystal into your own body and become as if a quori made flesh.  Your acid, cold, and fire resistance raise to 10, your power resistance raises to 10 + your HD, she no longer has a maximum age, and your type becomes an outsider native to both the material plane and the plane of Dal Quor, with the evil and quori subtypes.  While on the plane of Dal Quor she gains the [[Su|supernatural]] ability to use ''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' at will, but only on Dal Quor.  
At will as a [[Su|supernatural]] ability, an imago quori  creature can take the form of a grotesque, tentacled mass (or another appropriately gruesome form), but all her abilities remain unchanged despite the alien appearance.  Changing shape is a standard action.  Other creatures receive a -1 morale penalty on their attack rolls against the imago quori in this alternate form.  Unlike other outsiders, the imago quori can still be brought back from the dead as if she were a member of her previous creature type. 

The epic imago quori gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic imago quori feats) every three levels after 23rd.
