'''{{Anchor|Altenate Form}}  {{Su}}:''' Magnus can assume the form of a [[SRD:Ape|ape]]. Magnus also can assume a bipedal hybrid form with prehensile hands and animalistic features. Changing to or from an ape or hybrid form is a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. As usual, if slain Magnus reverts to his [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] form, although he remains [[SRD:Dead|dead]]. Separated body parts retain their [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] form, however.
Afflicted lycanthropes find this ability difficult to control, but natural lycanthropes have full control over this power.

'''{{Anchor|Ape Empathy}}''' '''''([[SRD:Ex|Ex]])''''':  In any form, Magnus can communicate and empathize with [[SRD:Ape|apes]] or [[SRD:Dire Animal|dire apes]]. This gives him a +4 racial bonus on checks when influencing the ape’s attitude and allows the communication of simple concepts and (if the ape is friendly) commands, such as “friend,” “foe,” “flee,” and "attack".

'''{{Anchor|Curse of Lycanthropy}}  {{Su}}:'''  Any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] or [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] hit by a natural lycanthrope’s bite attack in [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or hybrid form must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or contract lycanthropy. If the victim’s size is not within one [[SRD:Size Category|size category]] of the lycanthrope the victim cannot contract lycanthropy from that lycanthrope. Afflicted lycanthropes cannot pass on the curse of lycanthropy. Magnus' DC is higher due to his being a patriarch.

''' {{Anchor|Fire Acclimated}}''': Half-giants have a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] against all [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire spells and effects]]. Half-giants are accustomed to enduring high temperatures. 

'''{{Anchor|Giant}}''' ({{Property Link|Subtype|SRD:Psionic Subtype|Psionic}}): Half-giants are not subject to spells or effects that affect [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoids]] only, such as ''[[SRD:Charm Person|charm person]]'' or ''[[SRD:Dominate Person|dominate person]]''.

'''Naturally Psionic''': Half-giants gain 2 bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest [[SRD:Powers|powers]] unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic [[SRD:Class|class]].

'''{{Anchor|Powerful Build}}  {{Ex}}:'''  Magnus functions in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a he is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), Magnus is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. He is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. Magnus can strike unarmed or use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that changes Magnus’ size category.

'''{{Anchor|Psi-Like Ability}}''': 1/day—''[[SRD:Stomp|Stomp]]''. [[SRD:Manifester Level|Manifester level]] is equal to 1/2 [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] (minimum 1st). The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''{{Anchor|Rend}} {{Ex}}:  '''When Magnus hits with both claw attacks in animal or hybrid form, he latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d6+13 points of damage.
