Apocalypse Tamer Bestiary: Plato's Final Form

Personal Perks:

• Legendary Beast: Plato is a legendary beast. His natural attacks scale off his SKI rather than his STR, and he is immune to Insta-Death, Critical Hits, Mind and Illusion effects. Plato gains perfect proficiency with all natural attacks (x3 damage, +30% Crit) and inflicts an additional 30% [Frost] damage with them.
• Death in the Shadows: Plato benefits from a natural [Invisibility] effect which he can disable at will. While in a field or weather with a strong [Darkness] affinity, he gains 50% chance of avoiding any single-target attack. Finally, he is immune to any effect that would decrease his Accuracy, such as the [Blind] Ailment, and gains +50% Accuracy.
• Primal Hunter: While Plato’s attacks with natural weapons inflict [Birdslayer] damage (x3 damage against [Avian] Types), he can change the Slayer effect to target another Type of his choice at will. If he does change his favorite prey Type, he cannot change it again for one minute.
• Nine Lives: When Plato would die, he instead benefits from an [Auto-Revive] effect bringing him back to life at critical health; this also purges Plato of ailments. Plato can be revived eight times before the Perk becomes inactive.
• Joyful Swordfang: Plato’s fangs have turned into swords after absorbing Joyeuse. Not only does Plato benefit from perfect proficiency with swords (x3 damage, +30% crit), but his fangs count as +15 SKI sword weapons each that inflict the [Brand] ailment (prevents victim from recovering HP until the ailment is removed) on a successful hit.
• Pawerful Dao: Plato can run on vertical structures, and even ceilings so long as he remains in motion. Additionally, the length of his jumps is doubled.
• Shieldtail: Plato’s tail has turned into a mighty shield capable of reflecting magic. If Plato is targeted by an elemental attack to which he has a Strong affinity, the attack has a 50% chance of being reflected to the sender.

Active Perks:

• Cat King’s Luck: 77 SP, [Support]. Buffs the Luck, Skill, Accuracy, Evasion, and Critical Hit Rates of Plato’s party for five minutes.
• Darkwind Fang: 80 SP, [Wind], [Darkness], Technique. Plato can unleash a sharp blade of cursed wind with any bladed weapon, claws, and fangs included; proficiency bonuses apply depending on the weapon used (base [Wind]/[Darkness] damage 120, +30% accuracy and crit).
• Catnapping: 50 SP, [Support]. Plato can designate a foe within his line of sight. On a successful Luck check, all the enemy’s buffs are transferred to Plato as if they had been cast on him in the first place.
• Mirage Pack: 40 SP, [Support]. Plato empowers his party with the [Mirage] status (increases Evasion) for five minutes.
• Smilodon Blitz: 150 SP, [Physical], Technique. By using the super-secret sabertooth tiger technique, Plato launches himself in one direction at blitzing speed and cuts down anything in his way. While using Skill as a base, this attack’s power also increases with Plato’s Agility (base damage 100+AGI [Physical]) and stacks with proficiencies.
• Wild Fang: 100 SP, [Physical], Technique. Plato unleashes a flurry of four bites on a single target at 60% power each; each of them counts as a normal attack as far as proficiencies and critical hits are concerned.
• Counterstance: 30 SP per minute, [Physical], Technique. By shifting his weight and focusing on a single enemy, Plato can automatically dodge any [Physical] assault from that foe and counter with a blazingly fast normal attack. However, the stance is broken if he attacks of his own initiative, and it does not work on multiple opponents at once.
