and what it generally looks like. The only thing
that may shield a creature from this ability is a
worn charm (non-magical) crafted from any body
part of a totem hunter that the wearer defeated
in combat.
Detect Target (Su): At will the totem
hunter is able to detect any creature that has been
designated as a target. It functions identically to
detect animals or plants, except that it affects targets
only (and is, naturally, not restricted to just animals
and plants).
Cry of the Hunter (Su): Totem hunters can
release a booming, yet shrill cry that inspires terror
in its designated target. This effect is identical to
the fear spell. Caster level 8th, Will DC 16. The
save DC is Charisma-based.
Totem Reaping (Su): The hunter also has
the ability to gain strength and additional abilities
by beheading targeted victims and usurping
their fading life energy. When embarking on a
hunt the totem hunter designates three levels of
targets: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary
target may have any CR, but the secondary target
must have a CR of 4 greater than the primary’s, and the
tertiary must have a CR of 8 greater than the primary’s.
There is a fourth level—master totem—but it may be
designated at any time during the hunt; its CR must be
12 greater than the primary’s.
After the totem hunter kills 3 of the primary targets, it
gains a +3 morale bonus to attack, AC, damage, saves, and
skill checks; it also gains one of the target’s extraordinary,
supernatural, or spell-like abilities (within reason; DMs may
rule that some may not apply; note that the abilities of PC
classes and prestige classes cannot be gained). The totem
hunter can use this ability just as the original creature did,
although it is considered to be fully rested and recharged
for the ability’s purposes; the ability is also now considered
supernatural regardless of what type it was before.
After the totem hunter kills 9 of its secondary targets it
gains an additional +3 morale bonus as well as one of the
secondary creature’s abilities, just as above. After the totem
hunter kills 27 of its tertiary targets (likely a difficult task),
it gains an additional +3 morale bonus as well as another
ability as above. If the hunter has targeted a master totem,
it may now attempt to kill it.
If successful it enters into a state of supreme actualization.
It gains no additional morale bonus, however it does
gain the use of all (yes, all) extraordinary, supernatural, and
spell-like abilities of all (yes, all) of the designated targets
it has killed. It then goes on a supreme killing rampage.
Should it fail to kill at least 12 creatures of CR level equal
