SPECIAL ABILITIES

Control Host (Ex)

A begedhi parasite which has fully taken over a host gains access to the host’s abilities and memories. Its recollection is not perfect, however, so it must succeed at Bluff checks to fool those familiar with the host.

Anyone intimately familiar with the host gain a +4 circumstance bonus on their opposed Sense Motive check. While a parasite controls a host, the CR for the composite creature increases to the host creature’s CR+2.

Create Seedlings (Ex)

If a begedhi parasite survives its host’s death, it can harvest flesh from the host as a full action to produce 1d4 new begedhi seedlings. This process destroys the parasite.

Infest (Ex)

A begedhi parasite can enter the body of a helpless creature or be implanted by a mother plant; see below. Once inside, a parasite requires one week to gain full control of the host. During this time, remove affliction (DC 13) will kill the parasite. After this point, it must be brought to fewer than 0 hp, and then remove affliction can be used to destroy it. A creature with an integrated begedhi parasite uses the template graft provided below.

Vines (Ex)

When a begedhi parasite attacks with its spiky vines while inside a host, it deals minimum damage to the host, regardless of whether it strikes its intended target. The creature can make a full attack with two vines and take only a –3 penalty on each attack roll.
