Special Abilities:

• Crush and Tear: A secondary bite attack that starts at 1d4 (1d3 if small) + half Strength modifier. At 5th level, damage increases to 1d6 (1d4) and is treated as silver and cold iron. At 11th level, damage increases to 1d8 (1d6) with an additional 1d6 bleed damage. At 17th level, damage increases to 1d10 (1d8). If you have the Animal Fury rage power, bite damage increases by one step while raging.
• Power from Flesh: From 2nd level, you must consume the flesh of a dragon, fey, magical beast, outsider, or undead. Until you do, you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls against consumable creatures while raging, but suffer a -2 penalty to Intelligence and a 20% chance of becoming confused each round. Feeding is a full-round action. For 24 hours, you gain one point of Essence and a minor trait based on the creature devoured. You can only hold one point of Essence at a time. At 9th and 18th levels, the bonus against edible enemies increases by +1.
• Devour Essence: From 2nd level, you can use stored Essence to restore HP equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier. At 8th level and every 5 additional levels, the HP restored increases by +1d8 (max 4d8 at 18th level).
• Changeable Form: From 7th level, Devour Flesh grants a major trait and any abilities can be used outside Rage. The number of Essence points you can store increases to 2.
• Unbound Rage: From 11th level, you grow in size when entering Rage if the last creature devoured was at least one size category larger than you. This is identical to Enlarge Person but grants a +4 size bonus to Strength and a -2 penalty to Intelligence.
• You Are What You Eat: From 14th level, after devouring a creature, you gain a special ability usable as a standard action by spending two Essence points. The number of Essence points you can store increases to 3.
