Minos Bonifar (Oracle/Rogue), Level 16

 The character begins his road to redemption, goes mythic, and changes his familiar but does not know it! The Bound mythic path is from Legendary Games, while I thank Four Horsemen Present: Mythic Archetypes from Rogue Genius Games for the familiar’s Mutable Appearance mythic ability. The Mask Alignment ability will appear in a future post about the god it worships.

Special Abilities

Haunting Melody (Su) A nosoi’s song has the power to grip the spirits of those that hear it. All living and undead creatures within a 60-foot spread must succeed at a DC 14 Will saving throw or be fascinated. A creature that successfully saves is not subject to that nosoi’s song for 24 hours. This effect continues for as long as the nosoi sings and for 1 round thereafter. A nosoi can sing for a number or rounds per day equal to twice its Hit Dice. This is a sonic mind-affecting charm effect. This ability can affect undead creatures, even though the undead subtype makes such creatures immune to mind-affecting effects (though undead creatures with immunity to mind-affecting effects from a source other than their creature type are still immune). The save DC is Charisma-based.

Mask AlignmentM (Godling) (Su) When you are  targeted with an effect that detects alignment or with any alignment-based effect, you can automatically identify the effect by attempting a Spellcraft check and expend one use of mythic power to mask your alignment as an immediate action. You can choose to emulate a different aura of your choice or to radiate no alignment aura. This affects only alignment detection, not effects that cause harm or are otherwise based on alignment. This effect lasts until you dismiss it or change your alignment aura again.

Mutable AppearanceM (Su): At 1st tier, the adaptable hero can alter the appearance of his form and gear. This acts as an at-will disguise self spell-like ability, except this is a transmutation effect and not an illusion. This still does not alter the abilities or mechanics of his form or equipment. Any attempt to dispel this spell-like ability takes a penalty equal to the hero’s mythic tier.

Sarnakand the Magnificent, Level 12

The most difficult thing in this build was the companion. In 2.5E this character was a Myrikhan (neutral good paladin)/rogue/witch (from the classic Netbook of Witches and Warlocks!) with an agathinon as his advanced familiar. How to convert a little angel into a versatile/long-lasting shapechanger in Pathfinder, using as less 3PP/homebrew as possible? Well, this solution at last is perfect! Even if she’s no more a familiar (but she still could, by throwing in the Improved Familiar feat and the Familiar Cohort horrifically overpowered feat by Rogue Genius Games!). The object form spells are from Legendary Shifters.

Special Abilities

Perfect Memory (Ex) Though they are not particularly intelligent, cassisians have perfect memories and remember everything they see or hear. They can faultlessly recite conversations they heard hundreds of years before. They also have the power to erase portions of their own memories, which they do (usually under orders from superior angels) to protect sensitive information.

Lesser Protective Aura (Su) A cassisian has a lesser form of the protective aura possessed by more powerful angels. This protective aura grants the cassisian a +2 deflection bonus to its AC against evil foes, and a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws made against evil effects or spells cast by evil creatures. This aura extends to a radius of 5 feet, but can only benefit one additional creature other than the cassisian at any one time. A cassisian’s protective aura is fragile, and as soon as an evil creature successfully strikes the cassisian, or as soon as the cassisian fails a saving throw against an evil source, its protective aura fades away and is no longer applicable. The cassisian can reactivate its protective aura by spending 1 minute concentrating upon the task.
