None that I am aware of (Kantian Paladin does not fulfil the criteria) - but honestly what do you expect from an alignment-less Paladin. The alignment thing is THE iconic Paladin thing.

In the first part, change it to "if your first save fails, roll a second one for the alter ego", otherwise you are reducing your chance of making the save due to rerolling.

Alternately, you know exactly what it does 9or at least is meant to) - it's Cloud Mind that affects everyone, except you are the one affected and made unperceivable, so no [Mind-Affecting] or Will save.

I'm pretty sure the intent was that you select an unoccupied area that will be as big as you wish on the inside. Asmodeus' palace is already under Asmodeus' divine morphing, so you'd have to wrestle that power out of his hands.

The role of magic items

And anyway, what was up with the hate for being dependent on magical items? I like magical items. I like my characters' awesomeness coming from magical items. What I don't like is my characters' awesomeness being dependent on boring magical items like +4 subtle longswords to the point of not lettin...

Thanks, I really needed that ego boost. More stuff! Elementforged See, to make a golem, one has to capture an elemental spirit and bind it to a body.

Sorry, I didn't get your point the first time. Well, I thing it is less confusing the way I wrote it, since Constructs have a really long list of traits (and I don't know about others, but I can't remember anything beyond "immunity to magic, critical hits and stuff that doesn't affect objects&q...

I second this. Also, the seeking character should declare how much time they are going to spend looking before rolling. This is an absolute must if the person playing that character knows where the hiding character is.

So maybe the symmetry breaks down at stupidly high energy states
The matter to antimatter ratio has been calculated to be (10^10 + 1):10^10. So the difference is practically unobservable.
