Vapor Tentacles

As the Fog Beast’s body is partially mist, so too is that of an advanced servant. The caster channels matter from the pseudo-plane of mist to create one or more vapor tentacles that she may use as arms and legs, or to create defensive shell of countless tiny tentacles. While the spell is active, the vapor tentacles can be withdrawn into the body, and extended later, if desired. The maximum length, strength, and durability of the tentacles depend on the spell check result. Larger offensive tentacles may be damaged by spells and magic weapons; they have the same AC as the caster, and suffer a penalty of +1d per damage die from incoming fire attacks. Smaller defensive tentacles do not suffer damage, and last the entire duration.
A caster attacking with the tentacles must concentrate during the round (DCC core rulebook, pg 106). If a caster loses concentration, he may not use the tentacles to attack on his next combat turn. The action dice for multiple tentacles follow the die chain: d20 for the first tentacle, d16 for the second, d14 for the third, etc. The caster may add his spell check bonus, instead of Strength, for melee attacks with vapor tentacles. Note that creatures from the elemental planes of air and water are immune to the vapor tentacles’ attacks. Vapor tentacles count as magic weapons toward those creatures with immunity to mundane attacks.
