''"We are all Yùwén now."''

This vile power is allow you too implant the totality of your psyche into a subject’s subconscious. If successfully implanted, the target will slowly change into you, beginning to unconsciously take on your mannerisms and personality. The change is gradual, the subject is allowed a single [[Will]] save each day. A successful [[Will]] save halt the process for the day. After a week of 'germination' the subject becomes you in mind as you were when you manifested the power, but the subject’s level is eight lower than your own or equal to the target's own level, whichever is lower. The subject does not have any of your physical ability scores or equipment, but does have the [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]], [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]], and [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] scores you had when you were lower levels. The subject also knows the [[SRD:Powers|powers]] you knew when you were eight levels lower.

While the subject is initially your mental duplicate, the two personalities diverge over time. Although the subject starts off with memories of your experiences, it possesses its original “soul” and physical body and is free to develop its own personality based on its own new experiences. Thus, the subject is not your slave or servant, but instead a nonplayer character in its own right that shares your earlier memories. 

If the subject was of a different gender or race than the manifester, she retain the gender and racial identity of it previous personality. The copy's other trait adapt in variation of this change, a human racial supremacist that copy himself into an elf will create an elf supremacist. This only apply if you used ''personality override'' to create a copy of yourself and not it augmented uses.

During the 'germination' process, the target is allowed to make a single DC 21 [[Intelligence]] check each day to notice the ongoing change. While the Override is ongoing it may be stopped early by another casting of Personality Override, ''[[SRD:Psychic Chirurgery|psychic chirurgery]], [[SRD:Reality Revision|reality revision]]'' or similarly high level effect. Once the override is completed the previous creature is considered dead and since it body was stolen cannot be brought back by effect less than [[SRD:True Resurrection|''true resurrection'']].

The process of copying your personality is a difficult one, bestowing one irremovable negative level upon yourself. This negative level cannot be magically removed and never result of level loss, instead it vanish by itself within 1 week. 

If you use ''personality override'' to remove another ''personality override'' it does not have the [Evil] tag.

'''Augment:'''  You can augment this power in one or more of the following ways.

1. For each additional [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you spend, you may target a creature 1 HD higher.

2. For 2 additional [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you spend, you may use this power to bring a creature back to life. Choose a single dead creature willing to come back, it mind is used instead of yours for the Override. Once the process is terminated it soul move back into the new body, which take a number of negative level equal to the difference of HD between both creature. These negative levels cannot be removed and never result in level loss, instead they normally go away at the rate of one per week.

3. For 4 additional [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you spend, you may leave the override inactive within a creature. If you dies, it trigger and attempt to resurrect you as the augment above. 

For every two additional power points you spend on any augmentation, the DC rises by +1.
