updated with some abilitites that have been waiting in the mod thread for a while

dumping stuff for science (also trying to get all the Hollow abilities shown in the manga/abilities every other class has and that are unfair the Hollow is missing)

Transient Evolution
Level: Standard
Prerequisites: None
Sealed: No

The Hollow's form is designed to work in ways unlike that of most of it brethren, perhaps relying more on speed or intellect than brute strength. Choose any attribute other than strength or constitution, the hollow can use that attribute in place of her strength for all purposes, other than determining what she can carry. If the Hollow is Adjuchas level or higher, she can choose to use both strength and the chosen attribute, or simply the chosen attribute.
Special: This ability can be selected multiple times. Each time adds the modifier of another attribute

you may notice this is better than the shinigami version. that is because shinigami get twice the number of abilities, so making them the same level of effectiveness would be unfair

Spine Banks
Level: Standard
Prerequisites: Spikes
Sealed: Varies (standard ranged weapon can be used at all times. Other abilities sealed)

The Hollow's spikes also function as a standard ranged weapon with a range increment of 60ft, that deals piercing damage equal to their natural weapons, and uses dexterity to determine bonuses to hit. It is not composite, though it can be upgraded by anything that can upgrade the Hollow's natural weapons. As a full round action, the Hollow can unleash a potent barrage of spikes guaranteed to turn most creatures into a porcupine in short order. As a full round action, the Hollow can fire a number of spikes (as the Spikes ability) equal to the number of attacks they could make in a full attack action * the number of spikes they shoot as a standard action, +2 for each size category above medium. These spikes suffer from a -2 to hit. After firing in this way, the hollow must make a move action to reload their spines before they can fire any more.

Puppeteer Parasites
Level: Standard
Prerequisites:
Sealed: Yes

The Hollow has the ability to create small creatures (or seeds, or something similar) that can enter a victim's body and take control of it. As a standard action that costs 5 SEP, the Hollow can attempt either a melee attack, or a ranged attack with a range of 30ft, to inject a Puppeteer Parasite into a victim. If the attack hits, then the victim suffers damage equal to the Hollow's natural weapons (sans any enhancements/hollow abilities/etc) and must pass a fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ character level + Reiatsu modifier) or have the parasite take root in the victim's body. The Hollow can control their victim's action, though the victim can only make one move or standard action per round whilst effected, and cannot use spiritual abilities. Due to the fact their body is being controled by an outside source, the victim is immune to At the end of each of the victim's rounds, the victim is entitled to another save to shake of the effect. The Hollow can control a number of HD equal to their HD + their Reiatsu modifier.
Special: This ability can be taken multiple times. Each time increases the number of HD controllable by 5
Note: This ability may designate the control through seeds, but that's not to say that's what it has to be. Compare the Hollow Orihime fought when she discovered her powers (seeds) to the Octave Espada; both use a form of unwilling control.

Seed Burst
Level: Standard
Prerequisites: Seed Burst, BaB 7+
Sealed: Yes

The Hollow can launch a wave of puppeteer seeds in a burst around herself, turning a crowd of people into a throng of slaves. As a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity, the Hollow fires a spherical burst of Pupeteer seeds (see puppeteer ability) in a 30ft radius. These seeds do not need to roll to hit; in stead each victim is entitled to a reflex save (dc 10 + ½ character level + reiatsu modifier) to avoid the seeds. Otherwise, they work identically to the Pupeteer Parasites ability. Creature are controled in order of HD, from lowest to highest. This costs 10 SEP.

Spell Resistance
Level: Standard
Prerequisites: None
Sealed: No

The Hollow is unnaturally resistant to Kido and other similar effects, and such spells simply bounce of of it's hide. The Hollow gains spell resistance equal to level + 10. If the Hollow already possesses spell resistance, it is increased by 5.
Special: This ability may be taken multiple times. Each time increases the spell resistance by 5.

still need to do the summony/explosivy thing.

[blackestofmages]

an attempt to make some of the ailities written back when the hollows where pure NPC effective for players/make up for some size discrepancies.

Swallow Whole

Gullet's HP increases by 5 and AC by 1 per 2 character levels after level 5 (right now it's very easy to break out at level 5-ish, and the ability's almost worthless y level 8-9ish. just trying to rectify that


Regenration
Level: Standard Hollow
Prerequisites: Fast Healing, 10 hit dice.
Sealed: No
The hollow can regrow limbs in 3d4 rounds. This ability may be taken three times, successive times reduce the amount of time it takes to re-grow limbs by 1d4 rounds. The hollow cannot regrow limbs that were severed by the energy type that prevents their fast healing. The Hollow regains 1 point of ability damage per round.
