Granted Abilities

Kaiya grants the following abilities.

Major Granted Abilities

Beating the DC by 10 or more grants access to the Capstone Empowerment

Abjure Missiles: You can deflect projectile weapons by transforming them into songbirds, functioning like the Deflect Arrows feat. Unlike Deflect Arrows, this abilities allows you to deflect a number of projectiles during the turn equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You can activate abjure missiles as a free action, even if it isn’t your turn, and it lasts until the end of the turn. You cannot use abjure missiles while you are flat-footed or unconscious. Projectiles deflected by abjure missiles are permanently destroyed as Kaiya’s power transforms them into Tiny birds that fly away from combat. Magical projectiles receive a Will save to negate the polymorph effect, though they are still deflected. After using this ability, it becomes expended for 5 rounds.

Capstone Empowerment: After using abjure missiles, you gain the benefits of Deflect Arrows for 1 round.

Minor Granted Abilities

Detect Evil: You can sense the presence or absence of evil at will, functioning as detect evil. If you are a paladin with the detect evil class feature, double the range of your detect evil ability instead.

Grace of the Martyr: While you are bound to Kaiya, you may select one ally within 100 feet and shield it from harm, functioning as shield other. This ability has a duration of 24 hours and it immediately ends if your target moves more than 100 feet from you or if it dies. You or your target can dismiss this bond as a free action. In addition, you can cast protection from evil as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.

Graceful Pose: While you are bound to Kaiya, when you are targeted by an effect that would damage, drain, or penalize one or more of your ability scores, roll your saving throw twice and use the higher result if the effect allows a saving throw to negate or lessen the ability damage, drain, or penalty.

Graceful Tongue: While you are bound to Kaiya, you receive an insight bonus on Diplomacy and Perform checks equal to half your binder level.

Signs and Influence

The spirit affects you in the following ways:

Physical Sign: Insubstantial wings with plush, white feathers grow from your back. When you activate one of Kaiya’s granted abilities, flower petals appear from nowhere and dance around you as you move.

Personality: You are compassionate towards all others, including those you know to be wicked, and never seek to enact vengeance upon others. You must respect and honor all sincere pleas for forgiveness, mercy, and repentance.

Favored Ally: Humanoid (any Lawful Good)

Favored Enemy: Humanoid (any Chaotic Evil)

Vestigial Bond (Companion)

You gain a bird (a snow-white eagle) as an animal companion. You possess a druid level equal to your binder level when determining your eagle’s abilities. This granted ability replaces grace of the martyr.
