Create Magical Beast

Create Magical Beast is a spellcasting feat for the forging together of two or more animals, vermin, or magical beasts in the creation of a single magical beast blending their abilities. The terms of the feat stipulate that for "pure hubris and perversion" the spellcaster courts the attention of the Dark Powers.

Prerequisits: Caster level 5th, 1 item creation feat, Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks, Heal 3 ranks.

Benefit: This feat enables a spellcaster to create a magical beast, by merging two or more creatures of the animal, magical beast, or vermin type. The process is both costly and time-consuming, and requires preparatory research for each new combination a given spellcaster attempts. There is a chance that the completed creature will turn upon its creator. Use of this feat in Ravenloft warrants a Powers check (3%), as an act of sheer hubris or perversion.
