This requires no concentration or effort on the part of the hob. This also allows the hob to detect the presence of any creature within 100 feet capable of experiencing fear. This power provides the hob with enough information to carry out a convincing impersonation, providing it with a +5 circumstance bonus on Bluff and Intimidate checks when it plays to a specific character's fears. ### Metamorphosis (Sp) A hob can change its shape at will as a free action. This works just like the metamorphosis power, except that the hob's Metamorphic Transfer feats allow it to assume up to two of the extraordinary or supernatural abilities of its new form, in addition to keeping all of its own innate abilities. A hob can use an adopted power only 3 times/day. The hob can maintain the new form indefinitely, but it resumes its natural form if it killed or knocked unconscious. ### Paralyzing Fear (Su) If the hob takes the shape of what creature a single enemy fears most, the hob can paralyze its victim with unreasoning terror. The DM and the character's player can work together to determine what creature a character fears most. Faced with this apparition, the victim must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or be dazed and unable to take any actions for as long as the hob retains that shape or until the character makes a successful saving throw. The victim may attempt a new Will save each round until be succeeds or until the hob changes into a different shape, at which time be breaks free of the daze effect and is immune to that bob's paralyzing fear ability for the next 24 hours. In addition, if the hob makes a successful attack against a dazed victim, that victim must immediately attempt an additional DC 18 Will save or become panicked for 2d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The saving throw DCs are Charisma-based.
